The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

Best piece I've read so far on Dem strategy for the shut down fight this month. The one thing I'd add is this: Dems need to state their demands ASAP. Last time they promised they had a plan...and then they surrendered at the last minute. Say what you're fighting for! bsky.app/profile/jenr...
Ds should insist on a floor vote in both houses with no D assistance, on Rs’ CR. When it fails, voter'll know who to blame if the govt shuts down. That should also help focus everyone: What do Ds want in exchange for bailing out Rs’ from their utter incompetence?

$9.7M in US-funded contraceptives slated for incineration this week
This U.S. bought millions of dollars of IUDs, birth control implants, and other contraceptive commodities. Now, they'll likely be torched.

A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
They walked away from the negotiating table and don't want to have to follow the law.
They packed their draft spending bills with hundreds of awful poison pills.
If there's a government shutdown in 10 days, it's their fault.
