Someone named their popular thriller book after a line in one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs and help I am very actively letting it bother me! Even though it’s fine to do that!

And before that, Biden and Harris lied about “the economy” as all jobs disappeared. You can’t even get a food delivery job now. I voted for them but know now their legacies will be trash as most Americans fall into poverty and suicides hit all-time highs etc. in great part because of their lies.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

We the people have an incredibly strong lever. We can boycott. But nobody in this country is willing to make even a small sacrifice anymore. And THAT is why we’re cooked.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Scheduled Covid vax, Flu (this one gives me fatigue for 2 weeks & I haven't had flu in 15 years but it's a bad year), and TDAP (overdue for a booster) all for this Friday. It's the best way I know other than calling my reps to prep for RFK Jr. trying to kill us all! This weekend is gonna suuuuckk.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

If you're a Dem elected official or a not-actively-anti-democracy journalist in DC today with an ounce of ambition, go down to Treasury (it's on Pennsylvania Ave, right next to a big white house) and make some noise. This is a moment when careers are made, if anyone has some courage.

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.
