Planned fight near North Carolina middle school erupts into shooting, killing 2 teens and wounding 5, police say | CNN Two teenagers were killed and five others were shot after a planned fight erupted into gunfire at a public park that borders a middle school, Winston-Salem police announced Monday.

Gun violence is a public health problem.
There are things we could be doing to prevent this violence. Will we ever actually talk about and implement solutions?
This is not ok. We are not ok.

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

It’s actually crazy how different it feels compared to previous years. It’s a yikes.

This is what dreams are made of.

CDC is lacking leadership. ~80% of top roles are vacated (resigned or forced out). Staff say work is at a “standstill” as key public health decisions stall.

I didn’t see that coming.

Oba rules.

Honestly in my reporting of this all I could think was: I really think I need people to be a little more afraid of needles.

Not afraid of needles, but more cautious of INJECTING RANDOM UNTESTED SHIT INTO YOURSELF.

Stuff that isn't just unapproved, but actually banned!

8 children killed in Louisiana mass shooting The alleged gunman was killed after a police chase, according to police.

BREAKING: Eight children were killed in an "extensive" mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, police say. The suspected shooter is also dead.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I will say most university admins didn’t talk about it because they want people to forget they did it, which isn’t the best play.

A Nursing Home Owner Got a Trump Pardon. The Families of His Patients Got Nothing. At least three families won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against former Skyline Healthcare owner Joseph Schwartz. They haven’t collected a cent.

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump.

The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.

FL universities were directed to comply by the governor due to the president’s EO. Many did, though it’s been a major drama with faculty, staff, and students due to lack of clarity and transparency.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

They got to get everyone on something to help them cope with all this insanity.

Time for more "Joe Rogan is abandoning Trump" takes.

An SSRI literally saved my life when I suffered from severe anxiety-related insomnia. (Shout out to my Jags Twitter third shift friends from that time).
