By revoking EMTALA guidance, Donald Trump thinks he knows how to treat patients better than doctors. He doesn’t. People will die, and it will all be for Republicans’ fight for a national abortion ban.

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.

Gift link to a must-read from my colleagues. "I think people should know that research that they probably would support is being canceled," said Eden Tanner, who lost a grant to work on a new glioblastoma treatment. "I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial."

Well done! The @anzuptrials.bsky.social #BCGMM trial has been presented at #ASCO25 showing BCG plus mitomycin a safe & effective alternative to BCG alone & the added benefit of requiring 40% fewer BCG doses. Congrats to Prof Dickon Hayne & team #NHMRCCTC @profiand.bsky.social #MSDAus #OmegaPharm

Congrats to our @anzuptrials.bsky.social #EVOLUTIONtrial for on their oral presentation by Prof Shahneen Sandhu at #ASCO25. This Phase 2 #ProstateCancer trial is supported by #PCFA and collaborators #NHMRCCTC #BMS @novartis.bsky.social‬. Thanks Study Co-Chair Prof Louise Emmett @profiand.bsky.social

HELL yEaH!! If you agree repost to @harvard.edu to take action!!

RFK Jr. mentioned in the CNN interview that they plan to “replicate” all of the vaccine studies by March 2026. This is impossible. And they’ve hired a fraud to do the analysis. There was also a vague statement that groups of scientists would to “bid” for the work. This is not how funding works.

🤦‍♀️

NYT: “.. The United States is the only country .. that is forecast to see an international visitor decline in 2025.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/t...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

This right here......

This is what happens when you gut public health infrastructure and flood the country with vaccine misinformation. Flu shot rates in kids have plummeted, and pediatric deaths are at a 15-year high. This administration’s reckless disregard for science and public health has deadly consequences.

Just passing along some friendly advice on how to approach potential changes to the Australian health care system @drruthmitchell.bsky.social

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Hey #Canada. Australia understood the assignment. #auspol Labor wins. Far right politics lost.

#Australia voted and came out with a clear message. Trumpian politics are not welcome in Australia. We still stand for a fair go for all.

The #ASCO25 titles have dropped—all 5,000! Get a sneak peek at the science that will be presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting and start planning out the sessions you’ll attend. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wSaKR

We've read your comments about the eugenics undertones in Trump and RFK Jr.’s rhetoric. As public health experts, we share your concerns. Let’s take a moment to break this down. 🧵

The NIH have gone full henchmen for the Trump regime. In a wildly illegal, un-American move, the NIH will disregard HIPAA, breach databases, and create an “autistic registry” for RFK Jr! They’re turning in autistic Americans! 😡 Wtf is NIH doing?? #DisabilitySky www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Climate and pollution action works… #cleanair #healthycities #climateaction #pollutionfreecities

Trump is demanding control of US universities. Fascists always want that. Harvard has said it will not comply. This is a fight over fascism that Harvard has to win. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Harvard sets an example for other US universities by standing up for intellectual freedom and the right to protest - both key to responsible science. One fuels innovation and critical thinking; the other ensures accountability and alignment with public values. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧪

EU officials visiting the States will be given burner phones to mitigate the risk of espionage, a strategy usually reserved for execs headed to China.

Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

Trump's Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is under fire after claiming he wants the deportations of humans to run like Amazon Prime and be treated more "like a business."

Why are humans so evil to other humans….

RFK Jr. stunned FDA staff Friday with a 40-minute tirade featuring a disability slur, the “deep state” conspiracy theory, and accusations that agency employees were becoming a “sock puppet” for the industries they regulate.

Remember, “respectable” doctors profit on their substacks from this propaganda. Never let them forget it.

Contractors always cost more… Firing employees to then take on #contractor at #FDA or anywhere is #inefficient and a #falseeconomy

This part

RFK Jr. just said that his response to the measles outbreak in Texas should be a “model for the world”. I agree. It’s a perfect model of what not to do in a measles outbreak, how not to behave as a human being, and as a cautionary tale of arrogance, ignorance and privilege.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.
