🚨The most detailed takedown of the new ACIP members and the most fact-based slap to those still minimizing their anti-vaxx, anti-science records. If you're still saying 'The new ACIP isn’t that bad' — you seriously need to read this.

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

It's way down on the list of horrors, but National Parks having to post signs asking visitors to report anything there that provides "information that [is] negative about either past or living Americans" is utterly pathetic. The past isn't all positive, kids. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

RFK Jr. removed all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. Some of their vaccine votes, like RSV and meningococcus, might now be up for a re-vote. There’s no CDC director, no public explanation, no clarity. 🧵

Everyone… It doesn’t just stop at ACIP. The strategy is not just approvals but will eventually filter down to how your provider will be able to operate Every single one of RFK and companies goals is to completely incapacitate the current medical institution and keep everyone in the dark

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've seen impeachment talk as pointless, but if Dems take the house back in 26, what's happened this week demands articles instantly be filed against Trump and almost everyone in his cabinet. Nobody will be removed, but that's not the point.

Honestly, folks. As a historian, every day I wonder what new assault on the democratic process awaits us from the executive branch. The revolutionary generation knew that they were living in world-changing times. So are we. We need to live up to this challenge.

Remember when you protest: you're not trying to persuade the Trump regime to stop their actions, they're not open to persuasion. You're trying to persuade the public that the Trump regime is acting unconstitutionally. The public isn't persuaded by violence. Peaceful, joyful protest tactics will win.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Today RFK Jr took the single biggest step towards destroying childhood vaccines When @nytimes asked me in December whether RFK could kill the vaccine program - I said he’d have to remove CDCs ACIP And… that’s exactly what he just did today Not good-just like that we cannot trust CDC on vaccines

I was just thinking about this! People have no idea how big LA is. It's similar to the wildfires. People thought that the entire area was on fire (it was a big fire, for sure, but most people in LA were just living their daily lives)

Much of my writing has been about pandemic revisionism. Unwanted facts are denied and erased from memory. Since Vinay Prasad is now “very reasonable” on RCTs, some folks want you to forget 4 years of this👇. Constantly. RCT or STFU.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
