RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote

Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning.

I will *not* be watching the State of the Union tomorrow evening. Nothing enrages Trump more than us tuning him out. Instead, I will be viewing and contributing to the State of the People, a 24-hour livestream of counter-programming beginning this evening. Register at stateofthepeople.media.

About 70% of adults who receive Medicaid benefits are working
They simply don't earn enough money to afford other healthcare
And-of course-Republicans don't want to increase the minimum wage
So maybe it's the 3 million military children on Medicaid that Rep Fallon is calling fat and lazy instead

My student literally can’t do his AP Environmental sciences homework because it involves a tool from the EPA that has been taken offline.
Because fuck the environment and fuck justice even more, right?

Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec
These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

I'm doing research on the Palisades Fire into the safety of returning to partially damaged homes that are surrounded by wreckage. The world of public health research is full of "smoke == bad" papers but I'm looking for something with more nuance regarding returning to live in a burnt area.

“Gaetz is gone, but the next nominee will be bad too,” probably, but you still need to build on and rally people around wins, too. Treating every development like a prelude to another loss is how you fall into the pattern of being a loser.
