Lab leakers & anti-vaxxers alike (RFK Jr is both) often weaponize routine disclosures of conflict of interest. It usually ends with a claim that expertise is itself a disqualifying COI. It's a useful tactic for purging experts (like those on ACIP) & replacing them with loyalists. It's a lie.

In case you missed it, the day before Mahmoud Khalil’s detention by Ice none other than Shai Davidai tweeted at Rubio demanding his deportation. And once he was apprehended, he felt these were legit “consequences” for him protesting. A faculty member @columbiauniversity.bsky.social the shameful.

This is actually depressingly common. A lot of people arrested in the NY metro area get sent to Louisiana or other parts of the Deep South where there are many big detention centers.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Saw this letter on the face site. I really like this as a message that doesn't pull punches about Tesla the company but offers sympathy and practical suggestions for people who own Teslas now. Tempted to print out a few of my own and start carrying them around.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

18f were a bunch of badasses who actually did make government more efficient in a way that actually worked. And they did it while also being good people who cared deeply for the work, for each other, and for the people that used it.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

Yup, this would have brought together experts to share the latest findings on respiratory virus transmission. The meeting is canceled, but the continuing spread and evolution of H5N1 and other respiratory pathogens is not. In the middle of the game, the defense is walking off the field.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

1/ Being an infectious disease expert in the U.S. today feels like standing in the eye of a storm. Science should be our shield, but instead, we’re under attack, our expertise disregarded, our funding slashed, and public health increasingly politicized. 🧵
