The preview image is RFK, but the person running the CDC right now is Jay Bhattachayra.
He's speaking on "research integrity" in two days at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics.
If he is not asked DIRECTLY about this during his "fireside chat," the workshop has failed.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information
This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.
DOGE turbocharged the deficit, achieving no savings. The IRS reductions from funding and layoffs have likely resulted in about $861 bn in decreased revenue. The layoffs from actions like DOGE alone have likely resulted in $597.8 bn in decreased revenue over the 2026-2035.

According to a new study, RSV is associated with high rates of complications and death among older adults hospitalized with the condition, and older RSV patients may have worse health outcomes than older adults hospitalized for influenza.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.
Please share this story far and wide, not just on this platform, especially if you live in an area with an outbreak right now (like ours in Southest Michigan where there is an official #publichealth department recommendation for early MMR vaccination for babies 6-11 months old right now)
Reminder
Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists.
excommunicate jd vance. place washington dc under interdict. the whole diocese of arlington, too, for good measure - that’s where half the supreme court goes to mass.
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America.
Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:
Trump lost this war. That needs to be the topline in all coverage.
SKY NEWS: “We know the 🇺🇸 President has seen this statement and is considering it”
Seems like we’re all just gonna pretend Pakistan’s PM didn’t already show us the White House wrote it for them then delete and re-post cool cool
*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬
Vice President J.D. Vance has a moral, ethical, and constitutional obligation to invoke Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment by securing the support from a majority of the cabinet to “immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”
Everyone in his orbit spent the whole day shorting crude for the plunge in the hour after the "deadline" passes in silence or with some phony "deal." They will all wake up tomorrow six or seven figures richer.
This is not a sustainable system of government but it is inarguably our present system.

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran.

this is a wild story. this level of detail cannot come without many of the principles talking to the reporters. this reads to me a whole lot like vance and rubio - especially - trying to cut their losses and throw the president under the bus. it's like something from W's second term circa 2007.
call for an investigation into the president's fitness. call for the house to impeach. say you will obstruct every last bit of senate business. call for soldiers to disregard illegal orders. say you will prosecute the people who do this. say you will take their military pensions and benefits.
