for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.
So should universities like Stanford, UCSF, Hopkins take back people who have presided over an unprecedented destruction of science & public health in the US, particularly Bhattacharya, Prasad & Makary? No. When this is over, there should be no going back to the places they once called home.
The leading cause of health disparities in this country, health inequity, is being struck from medical school curricula- this is a sad day for public health and medicine
So does this argument also apply to tax returns (OK so long as postmarked by April 15), court documents, etc.? Or do we have one standard for ballots, and another for all other government-recognized documents?
In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

Trump found a new way to raise prices.
For no apparently reason we're losing 200,000 commercial truck drivers in one fell swoop, thanks to rule barring immigrants who are asylum seekers, refugees or recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, from obtaining commercial licenses
When the Trump era is over, this will be the business school 101 lesson of what happened, who blew it, and who didn't:

just plainly evil.
The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals.
We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.
We need to call this what it is: a crime against humanity

Friday is measles outbreak update day; 1,362 confirmed cases reported in the United States, up from 1,281 a week ago.
National public health response remains muted while the most contagious infectious disease continues to spread 😳🤦🏻♂️
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

The Trump doctrine: bound by no rules, apply maximum cruelty with no grace, at home and abroad
"Kennedy has continued to spread misinformation and push politicised agendas at the expense of the country's most vulnerable...the destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair."
Bold,factual and somber editorial in @thelancet.com

The weaponization of government programs against the people they were intended to help in the serve in the first place is cruel, petty, inappropriate, and deeply damaging.
“When they saw the video of their son’s death, the Prettis said they saw their son’s character showing through.
“His last act on this earth, his last thought, was to help this woman,” his father said.
“It’s who he was, every day,” his mother said. “He’s the same Alex he always was.””
Florida is proposing the introduction of new eligibility rules for ADAP which subsidizes HIV treatment. Under the new rules up to 16000 people living with HIV in the state could lose access to life saving medication.
Without ADAP meds cost 3000$-6000$ US/month.

“By suggesting that physicians may be committing a federal crime under the FDCA when they prescribe or administer a drug for an unapproved use, the DOJ — in its effort to deter gender-affirming care — calls into question patients’ access to off-label uses of all drugs.”

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
“And so, in order to uphold our professional covenants, we call for an immediate end to the violence and trauma that is being inflicted on our patients and our communities by ICE. We implore all in our medical community to use the power of your voices as well, to protect our patients and your own.”
I wrote this back in July partly in response to process changes by FDA leaders. There has been enormous erosion and destruction of our federal public health institutions since then.
The damage being done is devastating and the preventable deaths that will follow are heartbreaking and unnecessary
Today’s announcement that HHS is drastically altering the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule without a transparent process or clear scientific justification represents the latest reckless step in Secretary Kennedy’s assault on the national vaccine infrastructure.
