Are We Facing a New Dark Age for Public Health Data?
The quality of scientific research is facing the twin threats of AI-generated data fabrication and the loss of long-standing, trusted, public domain datasets.
Junk science + AI + political agendas = knowledge crisis.

Huge issue: "AI can produce compelling 'scientific' papers featuring plausible data and convincing figures."

I think this is right:
"We've slid into some form of authoritarianism," says Steven Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard. "It is relatively mild compared to some others. It is certainly reversible, but we are no longer living in a liberal democracy."

Their only move is waiting for Republicans to screw up badly enough to win the next election by default, except now we're in a situation where, even if they do win the midterms, it won't stop what's happening. You need a whole different set of guys for this moment

Peter Morley, patient and patient advocate mocked by congressman Jim Jordan on July 10, 2019 when Peter was testifying for congressman Elijah Cummings, who was the head of the oversight committee in Congress at the time.
I Will NEVER FORGET Jim Jordan mocked me as a patient with chronic illness when I testified before Congress. I RISKED my health to travel & testify for the oversight committee for MILLIONS of Americans who struggle like me every day w/illness. America should be RELIEVED he was NOT elected Speaker! ๐คฌ

This is not a fight about tax credits.
This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.
We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Had dinner tonight with a friend who goes every day with a bunch of other septuagenarians to be โobserversโ at the immigration courts. ICE thugs routinely throw them out out of public courtrooms, and then public hallways, and then public waiting rooms as they grab immigrants who did nothing wrong.

A lot of people outside the military don't realize that the whole "no beards" thing is directed primarily at the many African-Americans who are allowed not to shave because of a common skin condition.

The โMoral Monstersโ Among Us
Immigrants are dying now. Will people of good conscience speak up?
โContracts are being distributed to Trumpโs buddies and people with no experience running detention centers, many of these contracts are no-bid,โ Rep. Jayapal said. โTheyโre incarcerating people and allowing them to die, not providing medical facilities. There are no standards. Itโs horrific.โ

These lies are pissing me off.
This isnโt about health care for undocumented immigrants โ thatโs already against the law.
Itโs about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.

Florida docs can turn away unvaccinated patients. DeSantis wants to change that
Doctors in South Florida who deny unvaccinated patients point to vaccines as a life-saving measure they intend to stick to.
Florida now wants to force doctors to see unvaccinated patients, even when they pose a risk to everyone else.
Dr. Rana Alissa nails it: โIf youโre going to take the public health safety from our community and our state and our neighborhood, at least let me maintain it in my own clinicโ.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.
When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

โWhat was even more striking was that the room erupted into laughter at Trumpโs comments, a moment that speaks to just how normalized such behavior has become from the highest office in the land.โ

โPresident Trump used his Oval Office session with reporters to amplify his attacks on two Black women โ Representatives Jasmine Crockett and Ilhan Omar-both of whom have been the subject of posts on his social media account and racist and xenophobic attacks from his hard-right conservative allies.โ

As the psychiatric units of nonprofit hospitals close (likely increasingly given hospitalsโ worsened financial strains under OBBBA), weโll see the growing dominance of these deeply problematic for-profit behavioral health centers. (See, e.g., Universal Health Services, rife with DOJ investigations)

Opinion | Trumpโs reckless announcement linking Tylenol and autism is already doing major damage
Touting a possible cure with little evidence only gives loved ones of autistic people false hope.
Wondering why this statement hasn't gotten more attention.
โIf youโve seen a kid with autism, with severe autism, itโs hard to watch,โ said Dr. Marty Makary, FDA commissioner.
