Two terms: Kakistocracy and Lysenkoism.

Others blazed the trail, welcome to Vichy America.

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

Up to 56,000 people died from COVID-19 or RSV last year RSV was associated with 190,000 to 350,000 hospitalizations from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as well as 10,000 to 23,000 deaths, according to new CDC data.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.

Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.

COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

Senator Hawley wants HHS to study electromagnetic fields and the risk of cancer from exposure.

I don’t even know how to describe the state of science in the US anymore. We may as well be throwing money to find out which spell in the Necronomicon best lowers the risk of famine.

I have never seen someone in office lying so blatantly and incessantly, with such arrogance into cameras.

Montgomery County passes 'ICE Out' legislation to block immigration detention facilities Montgomery County Council unanimously passed it's "ICE Out" legislation barringprivately owned immigration detention centers from operating in the county.The m

Maryland's Montgomery County Council voted unanimously Tuesday to take a proactive anti-ICE stance, barring privately owned detention facilities. "We will not wait for an immigration detention facility to be proposed — we are ensuring it is never built in the first place," Councilmember Glass said.

My kid was bitten by a woodchuck years ago. The ER had to call the very CDC office Sen. Warnock was just talking about – my son had had a rabies vaccine years earlier & it was unclear how to exactly re-up it to protect him from a possible exposure. So no, it is NOT uncommon to call the CDC!

"I think you're dangerous to the American public and you oughta be fired," Rep. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) tells RFK, condemning his "draconian cuts" to the CDC.

"And if you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to resign. You're way in over your head."

I’m only about to finish a Bachelor thesis, so not comparable AT ALL, but I still feel you! ☺️ It’s amazing what you’re doing with Stand Up For Science on the side (!) – thank you so much for your leadership.

❤️❤️❤️

He just did it again – apparently US dollars in Europe are different than US dollars in the US.🤦🏼‍♀️ Senator Welch was stumped.

I'm trying to angrily repost preposterous quotes from this admin less than I used to, but this one is amazing.

The level of toady that it takes to say "he just does math differently ... and wrong, but we'll call it right" is wiiiiiiild.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has canceled the publication of a study that found the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

Every system that was regulated, either explicitly or implicitly, by the fact that they were effortful for humans (letters of recommendation, government filings, essays, or, as this paper finds, lawsuits) will break under a wave of AI.

The absurdity of RFK Jr talking about speeding up drug approval and at the same time, cutting medical research and NIH funding down to nothing.

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social.

70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge.

30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation.

7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported.

Priceless post from the official White House social media

RFK Jr is so full of shit.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is out with a new (very bad) decision, and it's a doozy.

The Fifth Circuit says that Texas can require the Ten Commandments in classrooms. But somehow it gets worse.

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

Same in Metro Detroit. Every fucking day.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Senator Johnson peddling in lies and misinformation during the RFK Jr hearing is infuriating! His comments on “vaccine related deaths” are NOT based in facts.

The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this

Two good pubs just lounging in the park on a sunny spring morning.

The pups are enjoying the park this morning – keeping an eye on the squirrels at all times, of course – and they hope you have a good day as well!

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

RFK Jr. blaming immigrants for infectious disease outbreaks is a belief shared by many whom he installed in leadership roles at HHS.
