Not only is he lying about the studies being "narrow" or "invalid," he's also lying about them not comparing the vaccinated to unvaccinated. See Don McNeil's summary of the science, here:

Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library? An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

Adolf Hitler's β€œMein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. β€œI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and β€œMemorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism β€” but preserved volumes defending white power.

If you are unfamiliar with science, the month a scientific discovery is made and then verified by experts in the field is generally not known in advance

These WA health programs and jobs just got cut by the feds In Washington state, several vaccine programs, plus disease surveillance and health equity work, are losing significant federal funding.

Vaccine programs, disease surveillance, and hundreds of other essential jobs β€” completely gutted with a stroke of a pen.

Cutting this funding and these jobs will both cost lives and put dedicated professionals out of a job. This is reckless and pointless. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Bernie Sanders Condemns 'Deeply Complicit' Congress Before Vote On Weapons Sales To Israel The senator delivered a fiery speech before his fellow colleagues voted against his resolutions that would have blocked $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel.

Only 14 Democrats voted to stop the supply of weapons. 50k dead, 110k injured.

β€œThe U.S.’s unconditional military support has enabled Israel to block all humanitarian assistance from entering the territory, while facing no consequences for targeting health care workers, journalists” etc.

Remember folks, if you're protesting and someone starts goading you to get violent, they're a cop.

If you get arrested or detained in any way, ask, "Am I free to go?" If they say yes, walk away. No? Shut the fuck up. Don't say anything else without a lawyer.

Good trouble, friends. Get busy.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two menβ€”not in uniformβ€”push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

"A woman is like a child": MAGA turns its sights on stripping Republican women of power Conservative women believe complicity will save them, but an emboldened far-right is gunning for their rights

I was raised in a conservative Christian church and saw firsthand how sexism is foundational to their faith. It’s why I started questioning. I knew I was just as smart, capable, and spiritual as any man (or more so) but I had no voice. We were good enough for changing diapers and not much else.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid β€” eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025 President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

More than 60 major moves that President Trump and his administration have made in his first 23 days, including executive orders and agency memos, have aligned with proposals in the Project 2025 blueprint, according to a New York Times analysis.
