I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

Taken from the NYT article re: today’s ACIP vote on the combo MMRV vaccine.
This would truly be comical if it weren’t real life.

Unconscionable to the core.
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

Some favorites from two 📍Catonsville No Kings events today.
People driving by were overwhelmingly supportive & many had their cars decorated in support. It is an ever-welcome reminder that most people stand against this administration & the atrocities they are committing.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push.
It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪

There was only ever one outcome to their relationship: this.
President Trump threatened to cut billions of dollars in federal contracts and tax subsidies for Elon Musk’s companies on Thursday, as the relationship between the two men very publicly dissolved.
Trump Threatens Musk Contracts as Feud Escalates
Last year alone, companies owned by Elon Musk were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different government contracts with 17 federal agencies.

It's been a terrible day. Science has been gutted by a horrific purge of the NIH, CDC, and FDA; a purge I'm not sure we recover from anytime soon. But Senator Booker is a bright light reminding us darkness isn't a force - silence and inaction of good people allows the evil. Get into good trouble!
