Powerful testimony on #MECFS by Emma Shorter in the Scottish Parliament from 2018
“It turns fit and active people into ghosts… I know teachers who can’t teach, children who can’t play, and parents who can no longer hold their children.”
I'm watching the interesting headlines from #ESCMIDGlobal2026... đź‘€

But this is not just about bacteria, we should be worried, watching and working on #resistance in #viral #fungal & #parasitic infection too. 🧪🦠🧬🩺
It's Sunday, so let’s give a shout out to GOP who are doing the Lord's work by lying and covering up for a pedophile, taking food away from the hungry & Medicare and Medicaid away from the sick, so rich people don't have to pay taxes.

We are torturing over 60,000 people simply because they were not born here, and that seems like something more important to cover than Mrs Bezos" happiness.
When a USAID whistleblower told Trump people that it'd be hard to pull together accurate info on Malaria since DOGE had turned off access to the whole team who worked on that issue, one of the guys shouted “See, this is why, just because it might work at Twitter does not mean you can do it here!”
“Some of the studies are testing new treatment regimens for drug- resistant tuberculosis,” I explained, hoping I could convey the very real danger in terms that would register with this audience. “Thousands of enrolled patients are at risk now that their lifesaving treatment is stopped. But that’s not the only danger. We only have limited options to treat drug- resistant TB. We’re using our antibiotics of last resort in these trials. Interrupting treatment midstream risks the development of new, even more drug-resistant strains that could be untreatable. For an airborne infectious disease, that is a serious national security risk.” Adam thought for a moment and then responded, noting that the political appointees at USAID were “not health people.” It would be hard, he surmised, for nonexperts to understand this issue. And so he suggested that we draft a simple, “Barney-style” set of slides to help the political leadership grasp the dangers, referring to the purple dinosaur of children’s television. He recommended that we use the term “Super TB” instead of “drug- resistant TB” to describe the mutations that can develop when treatment is interrupted, because it might be more likely to “catch their attention.”
A Trump guy who was part of the team dismantling USAID didn't think political appointees could grasp the concept of drug-resistant tuberculosis so he asked workers to explain it as "Super TB" in "Barney-style" slides.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Lemme guess - republicans lining up outside to believe these women but can't be bothered to listen to the Trump accusers...........

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:
Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.

Another MAGA Republican Piece of đź’©
Yes, another one.
It’s disappointing that NYT has buried this article on the homepage, but it’s going on A1 tomorrow — with a better headline: “Trump’s Volatile Talk Revives Doubts on Stability”.
The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys.
Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.
Maddow is doing a horror story now about another secret concentration camp in Ariazona right now.

Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."
Maddow: All the people who came out to protest at Stonewall when the Trump administration pulled down the pride flag, "today you won."
Maddow on what keeps despots in power and why they fall apart: "Nobody actually likes a corrupt despot. They all just support him because they think he's going to be in power forever so you need to stay on his right side in order to get anything for yourself."
