ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

My optimistic take: Trump Regime is a house of cards. It demands the collaboration (and cowardness) of so many to keep this unpopular & dangerous regime in power without accountability. Once our pathetic Business & Media & Political Elite start to break against the regime, they will all break.

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In any functioning democracy people like this—pushing a lethal agenda based on private grievance against the will of the vast majority of public and against the judgment of virtually all experts—would be immediately pushed aside by legislative oversight.

It's a remarkable glitch in US politics.

A horse in the honor guard dumps a pile at Trump’s feet… even the animals are speaking out now.

NEWS: The Trump administration tells Fox they are considering raising the retirement age for Social Security

Babies whose mothers did not have RSV vaccine during pregnancy are recommended for immunization if they are:

✅< 8 months

✅8-19 months and at risk for severe RSV: have severe lung disease from prematurity or cystic fibrosis, are immunocompromised, or are American Indian or Alaska Native

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

The wild plum bushes where I live are loaded this year! I'm pitting and freezing them as fast as I can for winter smoothies.

I went out foraging for medicinal tea. Basswood/Linden flowers and leaves make a light, floral tea that's great for colds, fevers, and just feeling run-down. I collect it every June and dry it to use in the winter.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Meanwhile...

We have heard that the entire flu resources section of website is going down tonight.

You can check your local health dept for information about flu.

We will update as we learn more.

If you need to rewire a lamp or other household item, extension cords are readily available in all sorts of stores. Just cut off the plug end, strip the wire ends, and you're set. Doesn't fix the larger problem of local stores, but gets the job done. Match the gauge of the wire to the project.

This is more efficient than waiting for mass shooters to show up at every school /s

This is important because every story you are seeing is paired with dozens — hundreds, likely — that you are not.

There will surely be follow-up litigation, but this is not something that is being stopped in advance. It's happening, and people are going to die because of it.

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

The Vaccine Education Center has complete, trustworthy, and up-to-date information about vaccines for parents, doctors, and everyone else. They are a member of the WHO Vaccine Safety Net and a safe and credible source for information about vaccines.

Great story:

Kind of off-topic, but I read yesterday that Tesla is not allowing owners of the regular cybertrucks to trade them in. Anyone who bought one those dumpsters on wheels is stuck with it

He doesn't give a shit if "something terrible" happens, because his money insulates him from any consequences, and always has. He is a spoiled toddler and sociopath who ENJOYS breaking things and making other people angry and upset. He loves the power he feels when others suffer.

Get any other shots you, or your kids, are due for. My family just all got our tetanus shots because we were due for them and are betting Brainworm Dude makes them illegal or unobtainable.

"Read-only." If someone could "read only" my credit card, social security number and tax return, gee I guess that would be fine...🙄

Gov. Hochul shutters NYC, downstate live-bird markets due to avian flu State officials said there was no immediate threat to human health and the temporary restrictions were meant to be proactive.

Ad page for "Faxo, the Everything App, which to me looks like bullshit meant to scrap every bit of data from your phone.

This app just followed me and tbh it looks shady. "Stop Elon and Trump before it's too late!" they posted to me. Looks like data scraping bullshit trying to get into your phone by appealing to an urgent cause. No thanks, blocked.

So far the only number I've heard is 50%, but I could be wrong. It may have been updated.

Not trustworthy. Blocked.

Last weekend, Elon Musk and his goons went apeshit in the US Treasury while Congress enjoyed a long weekend.

Now you're heading off on another long weekend...

DO YOUR JOB. You swore an Oath to protect the US from enemies "foreign and domestic," and going home to watch the Superbowl ain't it.
