Doug Ford has failed miserably to protect Ontario from a surge of #measles. The premier campaigned on a promise to “Protect Ontario,” but his government has not kept that pledge on a pressing matter of public health, by @reggcohn.bsky.social www.thestar.com/politics/pol... via @thestar.com

I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state? The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

To everyone (justifiably) applauding @harvard.edu 's response to the fed. administration's demands: that letter is only part of the story. Harvard's new website went public in coordination with Harvard Pres. #AlanGarber 's letter. It's completely revamped--and it's brilliant. www.harvard.edu. (1/8)

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

More Americans have died from measles in the last 6 weeks than in the last 30 years combined, and multiple children near the Texas outbreak have been hospitalized for liver failure after taking the baseless supplements that RFK pushed.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Scott Armstrong, NS’s Minister of Social Development says he went to Trump’s Inauguration (but he didn’t attend) and says he held meetings in Washington (but the embassy has no record of them) but still expects us to pay his $700/night hotel bills. No wonder Houston wants less transparency.

Good morning. Here’s a hot take, world footy teams decline to play US venues for the 2026 World Cup. Start making noise right now. Demand the WC be played only in Canada and Mexico. It’s only about money for them, so let’s make it about money.
