I've redacted the name in this excerpt to be polite because I think this is a completely insane thing to say in the paper of record.

Doctors are AMAZED at these 10 ways to BOOST your immune system:

The Tetanus vaccine

So is Medicare

A Freeze on Medicaid Payments Is Forcing Cuts to Rural Health Care

“People are going to have to travel longer distances, or they’re going to go without care,” said Olivia Pennington, director of advocacy for Maine Family Planning. “We are a cornerstone of Maine’s health care system, and forcing us into this position puts even greater strain on that system.”

Making health insurance affordable and offering Medicaid/Medicare are the correct and moral things to do. And neither “grows the government”

This is what we want our taxes to pay for!

Some perspective: The ACA part of the shutdown fight is a little less than 0.1% of GDP.
Or ~0.5% of the federal budget.
It's in same ballpark as cost of Trump's estate tax cut.
It's much less than Elon Musk's potential $1 trillion compensation package.

Hasn’t this happened in prior shutdowns?

Lots of new followers! Welcome to the floor show.

The two things Democrats really want:
*an ACA extension
*an end to Russ Vought and Trump deciding on their own whether to spend money appropriated by Congress.

If those 2 things were on the CR, neither of which have anything to do with illegal immigrants, I think every D would vote for it.

Guessing it’s like an invited commentary that cites a co-published RCT?

Trump making plans to send billions in cash bailouts to farmers with taxpayer money The president has also said he wants to use direct tariff revenue for the payments, but that could trigger a major fight in Congress.

I reported this months ago. In the 1st term, Trump could hand out $$ to farmers by tapping the Commodity Credit Corporation fund, a New Deal-era program that had a lot of cash in it. But it's down to under $4 billion now, meaning he'll need Congress for the rest. Another point of leverage.

Two former top NIH officials say they were forced out in retaliation for objecting to grant terminations Whistleblower complaints by two former top NIH officials offer their inside accounts of the Trump administration’s targeting of vaccine science.

Trump's call to split up the MMR childhood vaccine revives long-settled debate President Trump's suggestion​ that the combination measles, mumps and rubella vaccine should be separated marks a sharp break from decades of immunization practice.

“Combination vaccines were developed to reduce missed opportunities, increase coverage and minimize the trauma of multiple injections … Undoing that progress would put children at risk."

*ps, my editorial note: they are also SAFE

Exclusive: ex-CDC director talks about why she was fired “I would never do that, as a scientist,” Susan Monarez says of being asked to approve changes to vaccine recommendations without knowing the details.

EXCLUSIVE: In her first interview all year, Susan Monarez, CDC director for only 29 days, tells me why Trump/RFK fired her and where this is all headed.

The CDC director is an “inherently political position, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be politically compromised”, she tells @nature.com.
