ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

A Second Child Dies of Measles in Texas (Gift Article) It is the second confirmed measles death in the U.S. in a decade. If the outbreak continues at the current pace, the nation may lose its “elimination” status.

The last time RFK Jr exerted his influence over a measles outbreak (Samoa 2019), 83 people died, mostly children under the age of 5.

These deaths are all preventable with the MMR vaccine. Everyone who voted to confirm RFK Jr knows this & must be accountable for it.

Australia on alert after UK detects world's first case of bird flu in sheep Scientists call for the federal government to invest more in preventing the disease from spreading to Australia's $5 billion sheep meat industry.

University of Queensland virologist @krenfreeshort.bsky.social: "I think it is definitely worthwhile for the government to consider investing more into fundamentally understanding what this virus would do in Australia and what the landscape would look like."

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

My co-EIC Florian Krammer wrote this commentary in Vaccine on the need for next generation flu vaccines to have a NA component (the N in H5N1 or H3N2).

It’s a smart idea & safeguards against bad matches to HA & other subtypes that share N1 or N2.
