Elon said Donald’s bill was bad and then Donald said he Elon knew what was in it and then Elon called him a liar and that he rigged the election for him and that Donald’s name is all over the Epstein list and that’s why it’s not been made public which means Elon has been covering up for a pedophile.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

“I don’t see this as speculative. It is a modeling exercise, but it’s based on good numbers,” says Jeffrey Griffiths, professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University… “The big point is that measles is very likely to become endemic quickly if we continue in this way.”
Scientists Find Measles Likely To Become Endemic in the US Over Next 20 Years
A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

Another huge loss at the NIH. I have always admired @kevinh-phd.bsky.social important work in nutrition and obesity research.
After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.
