The Trump administration's decision to pull the #flu vaccine campaign comes in the midst of a brutal flu season that's still raging. More than 50,000 patients were admitted to hospitals for influenza during the week ending Feb. 8, the highest level in 15 years. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Every expert in vaccines gets their children vaccinated. Every one. That tells you something very important.

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Those 400 fired FAA employees might have been newly promoted—Best of the Best; they may have been seasoned professionals that were vitally important New-Hires, the FAA had courted away from private business! Probationary doesn’t mean a no-experience new-hire!

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

‼️Important Point‼️ Newly promoted federal employees also have a probationary period—these aren’t just young new-hires!

THIS IS NOT OKAY! THIS NEEDS TO STOP! ⚠️🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑⚠️

Denise Cheung, a 24-year DOJ veteran, resigned Tuesday, saying Trump officials pushed her to open a criminal probe into Biden-era grants without clear evidence. This follows other DOJ resignations over alleged political interference, including the dropped case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. (NBC)

Hey @petebuttigieg.bsky.social can this please please please be made true? Who do we need to talk to?

New guidance has been shared with coalition members. If you’re outside the coalition, please download anything you might need. Terminations will escalate this coming week.

In 2011 researchers In England did something that had never been done before. They compared rates of autism in children to adults. They concluded that the rates were similar. If the reported rise in autism was actually real this would not be possible.

Too bad a bunch of our national (CDC) epidemiology intelligence service officers were let go yesterday … they could have helped 🤷‍♀️

Donald Trump's soft spot for Vladimir Putin isn't just autocratic bromance. It is having devastating implications for the people of Ukraine. Publicly giving up on repelling Russia from Ukraine's borders is a devastating capitulation and a betrayal of America's commitment to freedom.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Happy Valentines Day to all who celebrate. Please remember the greatest love of all is yourself, and this is a good day to let that love radiate out to all our planet and all other beings on it.

The Trump admin and Treasury employees have struck a deal to preenet immediate dismantling of CFPB. CFPB won't destroy data, terminate employees or return funds to the Fed until further proceedings play out.

Some researchers at NASA and outside it feel betrayed by the changes at the agency, which was known for promoting inclusion in science. https://go.nature.com/4ihq4Cv
