Pulling NIH funding from medical research, as Musk and his cronies are credibly threatening, is a not-so-sneaky return to eugenics-based health policy, writes Yale public health researcher @gregggonsalves.bsky.social.
Trump’s Plan to Defund the NIH Will Ruin a National Treasure
Trump, Musk, and Vought are purging institutions and cutting off access to educational and research opportunities for anyone who isn’t straight and white.

Under Democratic leadership, the CFPB capped the overdraft fees banks can charge you and removed medical debt from your credit report. Trump, Musk and Vought are gonna let big banks charge whatever fees they want and make sure you're grist in "health" industry's profit mill.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

The whole administration is such a blatant fucking grift😡
The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.

Instead, all notifications will be made on X.

We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

When measles vaccine rates plummeted in Samoa, health experts saw a looming crisis.

But RFK Jr. saw an opportunity to study the health of unvaccinated children.

“I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel,” one expert said.

More from @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social:
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

He can do it if the Court upholds it. He's testing the loyalty of his justices. We'll see what happens with the ensuing litigation.

Please learn now that "but that's not how the constitution works" really doesn't matter anymore.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.

"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"
Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

You have the right to remain silent. Staying silent does not mean you are guilty of anything. DO NOT SPEAK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT IF DETAINED. Talk only to a lawyer. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING WITHOUT A LAWYER. #acab #fucktrump

Private equity acquisitions of US hospitals have increased over the past decade, and such acquisitions were associated with a worsening of patient care experience compared to non-acquired hospitals.

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone
