Last year, there were 69% fewer jobs than originally estimated.

Yet another epic failed indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. You just can’t fool citizens on a grand jury with MAGA propaganda. Why doesn’t DOJ stop embarrassing itself with political vendettas and actually investigate the Epstein ring?
Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video
President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

An approved mRNA flu vaccine will undermine the $500M non-peer-reviewed research project that Bhattacharya gave to his buddies Memoli and Taubenberger to develop vaccines with an outdated, inactivated virus approach. Connect the dots.
It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

I was getting my MPH in environmental health when the endangerment finding first allowed EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. The harm of climate change to health is real and disproportionately born by marginalized communities.

When Letai was named NCI director, I didn't see any red flags in his background. I guess he was hiding them in his luggage before boarding the MAHA train.

Dr. David Satcher served as both CDC Director and U.S. Surgeon General, one of the few people to hold both roles.
He elevates mental health, racial health disparities, and prevention as national priorities, pushing public health beyond disease control to well-being and equity.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.
But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Science is not conservative. Science questions nature to find out why things are how they are and to help us solve problems both natural and artificial.
Conservatives do not want their view of nature questioned. Hence they oppose science and public, secular education and label those as "liberal."
