I want to say a huge thank you to Dr Harris, who has been a true beacon of integrity during this incredibly depressing & damaging time of Stanford-MAHA-anti-vaxx-Great Barrington Declaration anti-science kookiness
I spoke to CNN about how demoralizing it was to watch Stanford leadership stay silent while contrarians on campus launched unscientific attacks to stifle Stanford researchers. Now, those attacks have gone nationwide and much of MAHA leadership have ties to Stanford.

Trump asks supreme court to throw out jury’s finding in E Jean Carroll lawsuit
Writer and author had testified, and won, at trial that the president had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s
Donald Trump asked the US supreme court on Monday to throw out a jury’s finding in a civil lawsuit that he sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll at a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s and later defamed her.
Trump’s lawyers argued in a lengthy filing with the high court that allegations leading to the $5m verdict were “propped up” by a “series of indefensible evidentiary rulings” that allowed Carroll’s lawyers to present “highly inflammatory propensity evidence” against him. Continue reading...

This seems important: federal prison contractors don’t get immunity like the president does. There could be consequences for private prison contractors who carry out unconstitutional orders. “Just following orders” is not a defense.
👀
Today the Supreme Court heard a very, very technical case about whether a government contractors (in this case, private prison company GEO Group) should get essentially qualified immunity for contractors (I'm oversimplifying). The answer, it seems, will be no.
