NEW: The FDA may yank Pfizer's under-5 Covid vaccine this fall. Pfizer has the only pediatric vaccines for all kids over six months, not just those with health conditions. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA
Email obtained by Guardian says Pfizer was told approval may not be granted, meaning Moderna may have to fill gap

“I think we're beyond words… What the medical teams are now reporting is that especially... the wounded children are not healing after surgery, because their bodies are incapable of healing.” Conflict Surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah spoke with DAWN about what he’s heard from colleagues in Gaza.

To whom it may concern:
I write in my capacity as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime & Counterterrorism regarding your organization's alleged role in financing & materially supporting the coordinated protests & riots that have engulfed LA in recent weeks. While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions. They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:reatxkwxwfh2osvbkbxyjktg/bafkreifabeavnkp43xzkswvunhyfy6pzxq54abexxd54lgnyjicjvqbz3i@jpeg)

When I used to try and gently explain the world we were rapidly headed for, people thought I was being paranoid. Or worse, they would try and explain why I was wrong as if it was obvious and I was subtextually just having a hard day, and would feel better in the morning.

With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95.
They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more.
It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed
Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.
It appears there is little to no resistance from Senate Republicans to the nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary
