The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

If the lack
of good information
has left you unsure
of what you should do
about avian influenza,
start: by wearing a mask,
and if it turns out
you don’t need it
to protect you
from avian influenza,
it will still work
against the other viruses
you should be doing something about.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act.
But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.
