If we don’t have data on vaccine coverage, we can’t identify communities most at risk of harm or death from outbreaks

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates.
Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

You're right. Seems like a flawlessly executed regime change. Popular in the US and the rest of the hemisphere. Sympathetic judge in NYC. Well-evidenced case against Maduro. Tremendous legal minds prosecuting.
Oh! And I saw Leticia James on tv today. Jim Comey, too! Bodes well.

A must-read thread by @jenmercieca.bsky.social about the decision by the White House to avoid grounding the coup in Venezuela as a chess move for democracy:
Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

A concept I've been meaning to float to make sense of what's happened to the US Constitution is an idea from the British constitutional tradition: "implied repeal."
It's useful because it helps us to understand that Article I, & much else of the US Constitution, has been implicitly repealed.

This needs to context that nearly half of children in the US are born to single mothers. The economic impacts of childcare not being affordable are absolutely devastating, as these same women are an enormous chunk of the labor force.

The sharp decline in federal employment
There are 271,000 fewer federal employees than there were at the start of 2025 — about a 9% drop, per the latest tally from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Back in the old days, we used to call this a purge. Firing all your senior leaders at NIH? It's a purge. Just call it what it is.
More news (not good) from NIH
The renewal request from National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke Director Walter Koroshetz has been denied.
I guess the NIH_leadership™ needed another position to fill with their time-tested recruitment process.

this seems like a very reasonable concern to have about using LLMs
If I use a tool and ask “tell me what happened on [easily researchable and verifiable event]” and it spits out nonsense, and then I do it again and it spits out different nonsense, then even if there is a sequence of magic steps I can take to get around it, I’ll never be able to trust it.
