This is profoundly destructive.
The damage they are doing in a year will take decades to undo. 🧪 #medsky #episky

And for the record, getting an NIH grant was already one of the hardest things out there. This is how you kill a research infrastructure that has taken a century to build. 🧪 #medsky #episky

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Measles Cases.

Sorry. Measles cases.

Remember what a huge story the Disney outbreak of 2019 was? And how California tightened MMR vaccine requirements as a result? That outbreak is a tiny blip compared to what we are seeing now.

Make America Measles Again

Two months in and already more than half of the total from last year. And that was the worst year since 1992.

Well, start an deeply unpopular and entirely illegal war of aggression...

You'd think that be it with the presidency.

Instead, the dictators enjoys renewed elite support from the supposed opposition party & shows US citizens & the world how out of touch and unaccountible elites in US are.

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.

He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.

She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.

Chart that shows trust levels in government institutions. There is not enough space to use alt text here, please follow the link in the next post to read the poll results.

RFK Jr. and his henchmen claim they are “restoring trust in public health”.

The truth is that trust in any agency RFK Jr. touches is nosediving; in fact, only 38% of Americans polled trust RFK Jr. himself (still too high).

4x more people trust the AAP over the CDC for vaccine recommendations.

Stark Divide: Americans More Confident in Career Scientists at U.S. Health Agencies Than Leaders | The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania When it comes to reliable health information, Americans are more confident in federal health agencies' career scientists than their leaders.

Someone want to ask Jay Bhattacharya how his whole rebuilding trust in NIH thing is going?

She also said she used to be Charlie Kirk’s lawyer 👀 & that we put him on a “censorship list”.

No, sweetheart. We made a list of top bullshitters in the 2020 election AFTER the election, by looking at who spread what rumors. Your boy was on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pointing that out isn’t “censorship” it’s speech.

Joe Rogan is an asshole just like Stephen Miller but wears a hoodie instead of a suit & tie.

A limited military action on fraud.

Because he’s so good at picking leaders. Right, Kristi?

Apparently, Kristi forgot to bring her bottle along yesterday.

Replacing Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin is literally like peeing your pants and changing your shirt

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

THIS is what RFK Jr. is doing right now in reverse. He is undoing incredibly effective disease prevention efforts.

Scientists and healthcare professionals are screaming at the top of our lungs about what the result will be.

But until people see it for themselves, many will not believe.

State and Federal Public Health Funding Cuts Are Making Measles Outbreaks Worse And so is RFK Jr!

Public health departments are reeling from deep cuts to their funding, while facing large outbreaks of measles that are getting harder to control. open.substack.com/pub/stopanti...

We have let @raskin.house.gov's team know that he can only select *one* (1) historical text to lecture on this year! Meet you on the National Mall on Saturday to see which one he chooses!

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Rubio called it a proactive defensive war.
That's right up there with "alternative facts"

Invent. Reps. Report. Repeat.

Six Years Ago Today It Began The Birth of COVID — and the Destruction of Public Health

There is a through line from COVID to the generational “destruction” of US health and science cited in a recent Lancet editorial.
