It was incredible to be there, meet the team, see and sit in this beautifully built vehicle. Chris Anthony was very generous with his time and candor in a hours long Q&A. Every bit of the experience was confidence inspiring and exciting. This @aptera.us team is second to none!

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Excellent discussion….take a listen!

How race science shows up at the doctor's office

“Pregnant women who have #COVID-19 & show symptoms are more likely than nonpregnant women with COVID-19 & symptoms to need care in an ICU, to need a ventilator…, or to die from the illness…. more likely to have a cesarean birth, preeclampsia or eclampsia, & blood clots.”

ACOG is an association of 60,000 OB-GYN physicians in the United States. Please see their statement regarding COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy.

Why is the Colorado River running dry? It's not just drought. It's putting sacred cows above farmers, cities, and a secure future.

So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-­challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Trump promised scientific breakthroughs. Researchers say he’s breaking science. NIH funding for biomedical research has abruptly fallen by billions of dollars, with many grant decisions on hold. Trump officials say they’re reviewing the agency.

Powerful new Washington Post story up...

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

As we get ready in #Arizona for upcoming #heatseason this articles looks as some solutions cities are employing to help adapt to #climatechange
#Extremeheat leads to increased heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, & more health harms

I’m curious if there are any scientific journals that are running special issues or pieces from scientists who are losing their funding or being fired. It needs to go down on the permanent record for the people who come after us.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Measles is preventable.
Misinformation kills.

Again: It was never about efficiency or savings. It’s about letting rich people get away with tax evasion, corruption, and keeping as much of their money as possible — At regular folks’ expense.

We drafted this new essay out today––coinciding with Jay Bhattacharya's congressional hearings to become next Director of NIH––after I saw this post by Dr. Topol and was struck by Collins' parting words that speak silent volumes about how we got here.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Violence Against Healthcare Workers is Out of Control

This week alone:
🔴 ER doc stabbed in the chest.
🔴 ICU shooter killed multiple staff.
🔴 Nurse beaten, now on ventilator.

Hospitals shouldn’t be war zones. It’s STILL a crime to attack healthcare workers.

Be safe out there.

CDC report adds to evidence that HPV vaccine is preventing cervical cancer in U.S. women A new CDC report adds to evidence that the HPV vaccine, once called dangerous by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is preventing cervical cancer in young women.

Kennedy once called the HPV vaccine “the most dangerous vaccine ever invented.”

A new CDC report adds to evidence that the HPV vaccine is preventing cervical cancer. Rates for precancerous lesions decreased ~80% among young women screened over a 14-yr period. #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky #PedsSky

This is the way!

Trump Is Really Screwing Over Some of His Core Supporters Farming-dependent counties supported Trump at astonishing levels in November’s election. But funding freezes and Department of Agriculture firings could hit them hard.

“I gave blood, sweat, and tears to this country for 20 years to continue service to the federal government. I kind of feel like I was just thrown out like a piece of trash.”

HPV vaccine has been shown to reduce cervical cancer incidence by at least 90%. A new report (below) shows that the incidence of precancerous lesions has dropped by about 80% since 2008 as well. The Secretary of HHS, Mr. Kennedy, claims that HPV vaccines *cause* cancer.
