I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

This will directly affect the future, & the present, of Pennsylvania & the country. Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine at Pitt. Pitt helped unlock DNA & pioneered organ transplants. Musk is offering a future where Americans are poorer, sicker, & less free. One word: NO www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

So the media could do a better job, but also the people we're talking about are not reading news stories, watching the news, or even documentaries. They get their "news" from Facebook posts or message boards. They believe every urban legend because they don't trust anything that challenges them

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

If you need help coming up with a 'hypotheses' you shouldn't be a scientist. Every scientist I know has 100 project ideas and lack time to get to them. No on is sitting around twiddling thumbs without an interesting question to ask. We are in the dumbest timeline.

It can be frustrating to hear “I don’t know” or “we don’t have a good treatment for that.” I’ve been there myself as a patient and it really sucks. It’s human nature to not accept that and want someone to give you answers and cures. That’s how medical grifts are such a massively profitable industry.

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising. It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

I agree. Unfortunately, measles is one of the most transmissible viruses and the vaccination rate in this area of Texas is estimated at ~82%, well below the ~95% needed to prevent community transmission. I'm worry that the horse has left the barn here and this is just the beginning.

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.
