Legitimate question

Cowards. Utter and complete cowards. There are people in this country who ACTUALLY have something to fear and act bravely anyway. They exist in the face of danger loudly. Proudly. And these cowards, WITH POWER I REMIND YOU, can't be bothered cus big scary Trump.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

“the University of Pittsburgh has put its Ph.D. admissions on ice. The school confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.” 🧪 www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Terrific example of how US health is intertwined w/ the rest of the globe. "Seasonal flu vaccines need to be updated each year bc the virus changes so frequently. But the US hasn't contributed its information on what's spreading there since Jan., a World Health Organization (WHO) official said."🛟🧪

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

It was a Nazi salute, @nytimes.com

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Regarding Acting DAG Bove's proposed dismissal of the Eric Adams prosecution, 3 former US Attorneys plead with Judge Ho to hear them out. They want to discuss "how best to develop the factual record" & whether he should "appoint counsel to investigate the events."

Honeymoon over?

I’m WELL aware this is a bad budget, but it’s a big FU to Trump and SOH Johnson. They wanted “one big beautiful bill”, and GOP senators said: no way. Musk/Trump - Johnson will try to save face and call this a “backup plan”. Make no mistake: it’s a loss for Trump. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I’m not sure a lot of folks know this. -Washington Post is privately owned by Jeff Bezos. -Amazon is a PUBLICLY owned company. Its CEO is Andy Jassy. Bezos owns about 10% of the stock. If you want to boycott Bezos, best bang for your buck is canceling your Washington Post subscription.

Wait! What? FREE TRADE? “Increased support for U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to monitor and prevent disease outbreak is advisable. Freer trade in agricultural products can also help mitigate any supply disruption”

“Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices advises the CDC director on how FDA-approved vaccines should be used; for example, recommending which groups of people should get shots and when. Its decisions are not binding, though agency directors almost always follow them” apnews.com/article/vacc...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

The study section that today was supposed to review a grant I submitted last fall did not meet.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will the feds finally put an end to congestion pricing in Manhattan?

Mapquest for the win.

American generals say that the Russia/Ukraine war began when Russia invaded Ukraine. But on this Mar-a-Lago toilet, they aren’t so sure.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Need to spice up your template? Dear [representative], I'm writing regarding DOGE, Patel for FBI, RFK, ICE, research funding, national security, etc. Please fight all of this. Please brawl. Please lay on the tracks. Please do the job we elected you to do. None of this is okay! Signed, Constituent
