1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

CDC Vaccine Panel Workgroups Question Their Fate: The administration is not communicating, acting with no transparency, and not doing the work needed to keep vaccine decisions evidence-based. The new (inexpert) ACIP will not have a basis to decide on. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

More are united around a simple message: RFK Jr should not be HHS Sec. His decisions undermine our public health capacity and put lives and health at risk.

As 6 former Surgeon Generals argue:

"He has rejected science, misled the public and compromised the health of Americans."

Dropping hepatitis B shots for newborns would ignore history and endanger children, scientists warn: the new, biased ACIP could put babies at risk because of lack of expertise and misinformation. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/n... via @statnews.com @ericboodman.bsky.social
Dropping hepatitis B shots for newborns would ignore history and endanger children, scientists warn
People who study, treat, or have hepatitis B say ending routine vaccination at birth - as some vaccine critics want - could lead to a resurgence of the virus.

Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June.

Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

Buried deep in a new bill is a major change that would cut off a popular federal student loan forgiveness program for medical and dental residents.

This is a travesty.

This is a five alarm fire.
It will take decades to recover the scientific community. Not to mention the cessation of funding for critical scientific discovery.
The proposal by Bhattacharya to use data from Indian Health Services to study autism is outrageous and should be fought tooth and nail.

I have had the honor of working with Tribes on research projects. The steps for approval are many and lengthy, as they should be for this vulnerable population.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

Boycotting anything connected to Jeff Bezos.
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.

Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.
