"I’d respect you more if you told me you actually believe in this crap and that’s why you were supporting the bill. But to tell me you don’t believe in this stuff, you think it’s going to hurt your own constituents, and vote for it anyway, that’s moral cowardice."
Wyden on RFK Jr: "This committee's unwillingness to swear in this witness is basically a message that it is acceptable to lie to the Senate Finance Committee about hugely important questions like vaccines."
i once again ask Republicans to consult with ChatGPT about who was president in 2020
The investigation into Ronny Jackson was initiated by the Dept of Defense in 2018, after asking White House Counsel if they wanted to invoke executive privilege. They found he had been (possibly quite regularly) intoxicated on the job to the point of incapacity, and bullied & abused his subordinates
Incredible
The Secretary of Energy is “working every day on using AI to figure out how to cure cancer”
Ok but seriously where do they find these people like a secretary of energy who doesn’t know what fusion or dark matter are
this fuckin guy doesn't even know what electricity is lol
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

Jeanine Pirro now makes 23 former Fox News employees hired for Trump’s second term!
This guy couldn’t cut it in emergency medicine so he sells gobbledygook ChatGPT outputs to people online
“the unexamined philosophical position that anatomy is only physical” lmao
How many times do you think he ran his original sentence through ChatGPT to come up with this word salad
pathology is literally what is wrong with people lol
Statement tonight from Alan Garber, 31st president of Harvard. Good for him. Good for Harvard. Good for standing up to defend "core values of American higher education." And (again) what about all those "Harvard about to cave" stories? Main point: Worth reading what Garber says.
Florida’s decision to end school vaccine mandates is devastating for children. They have no agency. They’re relying on adults to protect them. Many will end up disabled, chronically ill or dying from completely preventable diseases. It’s eugenics and it’s targeting the most vulnerable
"Among the most egregious cases are those of an 82-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s jailed for six weeks and of a single mother separated from her young children." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
9. The only way the covid vaccine can be seen as controversial is if one side speaks truthfully while the other speaks falsely, forcing “neutral observers” to look for some kind of middle ground out of some misbegotten sense of fairness, thus giving cover to lies while casting the truth in doubt.
4. That is not who Kennedy is hiring. He’s hiring scammers, liars and hacks, just like himself. They will believe anything if there’s money in it, and they are not skeptical of anything, except of people who actually know their stuff and, because of that, stand in the way of their grifting.
2. First, there’s no such thing as a “vaccine skeptic.” That is the preferred term of art being used by some political reporters to describe what Kennedy has done at the Centers for Disease Control. We’re told he pushed out scientists and hired “vaccine skeptics” to replace them.
Must-read article — and absolutely remarkable that 10 judges find the problem urgent enough to air their concerns (even if anonymously) to the press.
"I was told to preapprove the reccs of a vaccine advisory panel newly filled with people who have publicly expressed antivaccine rhetoric. That panel’s next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 18-19. It is imperative that the panel’s recommendations aren’t rubber-stamped." www.wsj.com/opinion/robe...

Do they think taking $20B/month instead of taxing corporations and the rich is going to fund the entire US government lol
Has Jay Bhattacharya ever received NIH funding himself
Recent efforts to undermine peer review and put decisions in the hands of political appointees rather than scientists have many of us concerned. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
Why won’t they release the Epstein files
I’ve written op-eds for the New York Times before and I can remember back when they had these things called “editors” who would challenge laughably false claims like this passage here.
“The Free Press”
This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary

Caroline Kennedy warned us about her cousin #RFKJr, "a predator" presiding over "perverse scenes" of "despair and violence." His youth was the origin story of a new American Psycho. Now he is the position to inflict pain and suffering on millions. He has to go now. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Still fuming about this: "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?" You are the Florida Surgeon General. It's your damn job as the executive in charge of the Florida Department of Health.
The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.
i've said it a hundred times for a dozen reasons but for once there's an expressly political one: the democratic party must push for the us to become a signatory to the rome statute. our justice system has failed, and it will take time to fix it that these people can't be given. give them to the icc
I've often warned the real risk of AI images is giving people the ability to deny the real images more than making them believe things that aren't true.
Global right wing power grab
The right-wing fascist ascendancy is a global phenomenon, and hopping across borders does not mean you can actually hide from it. You may find a slightly better local maximum for your particular needs, but this is a global problem and it requires a global, solidaric solution.
This is on you Republican senate. You knew he wasn’t fit for the job and you approved him anyway. Now people are going to die.

Can someone explain to me how the state of Texas has any legal basis for suing people practicing medicine outside of Texas? Can I sue Turkey every time I see hair plugs?
Texas knows its maternal mortality rate is sky high and it still wants to force pregnancy on its citizens by suing out of state doctors who provide mifepristone, a safe and effective drug. Despicable.

That looks expensive. I think he still owes those women in Georgia money.
Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Karen, you can’t just ask people why they’re white
And then leave them for someone to step on lol
Very smooth. Mostly plastic.
*did nothing to stop them though, right?
Congrats! Very much deserved

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."

A suspected Ebola outbreak is occurring in DRC. This is bad at any time! But it’s particularly worrisome now when US capacity to detect and respond to deadly biothreats has been purposefully dismantled. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
It's not just VFC. Private insurance takes their cues from the ACIP regarding which vaccines are reimbursed.
Daskalakis: There is a program called Vaccines for Children. It is the safety-net program that gets vaccines to kids. Over 50% of kids in the U.S. get their vaccines through this. If the ACIP says this vaccine should not be given to six-month-olds through 12-year-olds, the VFC won’t buy it
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️
This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.
You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
White House official says it considers any House Republicans supporting the Epstein discharge petition as committing “a very hostile act.” So far, the petition has four Rs: Massie, MTG, Boebert and Mace. time.com/7314260/epst...
Minutes ago, the Texas Senate passed HB7, which will incentivize people to bring $100,000 lawsuits against anyone who makes, sends, or transports abortion medication in Texas. In a guest essay, Kaitlyn Kash begs Gov. Greg Abbott not to sign it. #txlege thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/03/i...

Oooo. Alito and Thomas also vying for that spot.
Doesn’t really seem like it’s just an act :/
She just couldn’t tell anyone about them before they happened :/ canvasrebel.com/meet-brianna...
Brianna Ladapo, in addition to calling herself “doctor” based only on her informal self-study of naturopathy and claiming to receive messages from angels, claims during her first pregnancy she accurately predicted multiple “plane crashes, serial murders, & mass casualty events before they happened.”
What about a board that has stretching devices on either end and we call it something cool like “the rack”

From the district court ruling against the administration on Harvard grants (left): “This [what the district court is doing] is not Calvinball.” Justice Jackson’s dissent in the NIH case (right): “This [what SCOTUS is doing] is Calvinball … with a twist.”
No one could have predicted.
the two americas
why did the NYT print - repeatedly - that Harvard was about to settle for some gargantuan sum? Will they run a retraction on those stories? Discipline the reporters who reported inaccurate information to their readers? Out the sources who lied to them?
Scoop: A letter led by @replsimon.bsky.social demands answers from Trump’s labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer on investigations into the treatment of disabled federal contractors. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
strange. fabric doesn't normally fall like that across an arm.
I'm old enough to remember when VP called school closures the biggest structural racism of the year. The way people use Black folks (including our babies) to ramp up their profiles and careers is always a tell. (Also: Black people told y'all.)
