Medicaid insures children and people with disabilities that can’t hold a job. This is just a way to cut care for regular people and give the 💰 to the wealthy. Call your reps now! (202) 224-3121

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

A creepy-or-cute-but-also-just-wow-creatures artist whose work I've flashed at my RPG players has a new nearly-funded Kickstarter. I backed her first sketchbook of creature drawings while in art school. I can't wait to see how far she's come! For those interested: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Time to deal with the taxes. Strangely, this annual boring bout of focus on the tedious is almost going to be almost a welcome week's break.

New EO (link below) orders HHS to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID (section 2iv). Share widely on all platforms. This is a perfect example of how this administration does not care about Americans. If this is efficiency, then what IS Trump's plan for people with Long COVID?

Fine, let's focus on chronic diseases in the context of CDC layoffs. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion has ~1000 staff. WHEN the next infectious epidemic hits (assuming it hasn't already), when overdoses go up, when a bioterrorism event happens (1/4)

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”

Dear activists and organizers, a few tips from the outside, from a new person trying to get in and involved: a disabled, chronically ill, or a neurodivergent person might contact you, asking for more information about the event to see if they can attend or asking for an accommodation. You're lucky.

I and others from universities in the area were out in the contaminated burn scar conducting heavy metals and organic testing. Academics are filling in for FEMA pro-bono. But we won't be able to for much longer given the impending cuts to science! 🧪

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

The 1st year class of Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) fellows is being terminated today. We don't know the fate of 2nd years nor the future of the EIS program. CDC’s 2-yr EIS fellowship recruits talent from across the world and trains MDs, PhDs, nurses, vets, and others in field epidemiology.

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”
