The latest deeply confusing post by Trump in the ongoing circle jerk of mixed messages over tariffs. The post says. NOBODY is getting "off the hook" for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff "exception" announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff "bucket." The Fake News knows this, but refuses to report it. We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations. What has been exposed is that we need to make products in the United States, and that we will not be held hostage by other Countries, especially hostile trading Nations like China, which will do everything within its power to disrespect the American People. We also cannot let them continue to abuse us on Trade, like they have for decades, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! The Golden Age of America, which includes the upcoming Tax and Regulation Cuts, a substantial amount of which was just approved by the House and Senate, will mean more and better paying Jobs, making products in our Nation, and treating other Countries, in particular China, the same way they have treated us. The bottom line is that our Country will be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

🚨TARIFF UPDATE:

Tariffs are non-negotiable, negotiable, but not a negotiating tactic. They are permanent until they are paused but they will never be paused, until they are paused which means they increase. Permanent exemptions already announced are temporary, but nothing has been announced.

Vancomycin Taper trial presented by @dremilymcd.bsky.social #ESCMID2025. In people who get better by day 10 should we stop or give taper? Reduced recurrences by primary outcome timepoint but the KM suggests it may be just delaying rather than truly preventing recurrence? #IDSky

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

10 FAQs on MMR and Measles Protection Boosters, waning immunity, checking titers, infection induced immunity, and more

@kkjetelina.bsky.social
Your measles FAQ is very useful and timely, thank you!

I've been searching PubMed, etc. looking for clear recommendations, guidelines, data for measles boosters by year vaccinated like you show in your table in the FAQ. Where did you find that data?

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution.

Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

We are absolutely not prepared for emerging threats—just look at the Texas measles outbreak.

Over 120 cases, spread to another state, and yet silence from the CDC, HHS Secretary, and other government agencies while dismantling ACIP and public health in this country.

Enjoy the listeria coming our way, and remember to thank this guy

Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is the aggressor. I’m not going to let Trump rewrite history.

This is an extremely interesting analysis.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

This is a very heavy day for us.

To those who lost their jobs, we are with you and will work with you again.

To those struggling to see a future for our work, do not give up.

Real change in public health has always been a battle. Now it’s a war.

We will win it.

This is our country. #RISEUP

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

July 1, 1946 CDC was created, in the heart of the south, to combat malaria in the US. That year there were ~48,610 US malaria cases. With the help of WHO and others, CDC established case reporting, investigation, and preventative measures. By 1957, endemic malaria had been eradicated in the US.

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science The NIH said Friday night that it would slash support for indirect costs on all existing and future grants to 15%

This change will accomplish one thing - kill medical research in US academic institutions.
That's not hyperbole and the best way I can explain this to the lay public.
Slashing indirect costs to 15% is a move to destroy the academic enterprise.
Pass it on.

Of course it’s a coup Miss the obvious, lose your republic

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
