People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

A 21-year-old Norwegian was stopped at Newark airport. ICE asked to see his phone and found a picture of JD Vance (a rare Vance). Then things got nasty. “I was pushed up against a wall and was strip-searched with a lot of force. They were incredibly harsh and used physical force the whole time"

Russ Vought keeps threatening "pocket rescissions” — an illegal scheme to withhold funds approved by Congress. Republicans in Congress might as well tear up Article 1 and go home if they don't fight back, but they can’t claim surprise. Here's Vought telling me he's willing to break the law:

They’re not even bothering with the fake ICE costumes anymore. This should feel unacceptable to every single person in America.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Last year, Ben Mazer wrote this piece about the revenge of the Covid contrarians all now ensconced as leaders of public health, science & healthcare. but they’re a whole lot of fellow travelers among the liberal establishment who should take some of the blame. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

I am concerned there will be an uptick in disinformation about #RSV prior to the ACIP meeting later this month. Apparently, there will be a 'Vaccines for Children' (aka VFC) vote at that meeting.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go, as they must, to ICE’s abuses. For too many, the system in place Under Trump is abuse and disgrace. Cutting rights to the quick, Knowing all of it’s sick, ICE is racism’s mask-covered face.

#episky The novel approach to estimating the impact of public health interventions described in my newly published study in the Journal of Public Health Policy, suggests that the deeply flawed laissez faire approach to COVID would have nearly doubled COVID deaths. 🧪 open.substack.com/pub/drbobmor...

My newest paper uses reductions in influenza mortality at the state level during the pandemic as an indicator of the effectiveness of NPI's. The resulting model predicts 66% of variability in COVID mortality and suggests that NPI's save 850,000 lives. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.
