Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

🚨NEVER FORGET: RFK Jr. was NOT sworn in when he was "grilled" by GOP Senators. Senator Ron Wyden made a point and asked him to be SWORN in, but was IGNORED by the GOP, especially Senate Finance Committee Chairman, Senator Mike Crapo. Any "grilling" by the GOP was political theater. NO CONSEQUENCES!🚨

Good substack post here.

The first comment below it gets the conclusion badly wrong.
"since the labs that got a multi-year grant the previous year presumably won't be applying, it should be easier for labs that didn't get funding..."

Scientists, comment?

Judge Boasberg expressed concerns about Trump violating court orders.

MAGA world explodes.

Justice Alito flies an insurrectionist flag and Justice Thomas accepts gifts from billionaires that have had interests before SCOTUS.

Not a peep from MAGA.

Lee Zeldin, Trump’s EPA chief, plans to revoke the 2009 “endangerment finding”, the EPA’s legal basis for regulating climate pollution. This isn’t rollback. It’s sabotage. Without it, the EPA can’t limit emissions from cars, power plants, or industry. Decades of progress gone.

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

Maria Farmer is a strong inspiring survivor of Maxwell and Epstein’s abuses. She’s right when she says pedophilia is not a partisan issue but rather a societal problem. We need to give a voice to the victims who want to testify and trust them. We should not rely on an abuser to know what happened.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

The U.S. has collected over $80 billion in tariff revenue since Trump unilaterally slapped them on our biggest trading partners. That's an increase of 65% from the previous year. In other words, Americans paid $80 billion more for goods than they should have paid.
