More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

This is so sick for so many reasons!

Science Notes highlights this week's science and science policy blogs. scienceaccountability.substack.com/p/trump-goes...

In the midst of the deadliest pandemic in a century, one that our team estimates caused >23 million deaths during the emergency phase, RFK Jr said that Covid vaccines were “the deadliest vaccines” in history—which was a horrific, dangerous lie I doubt he cares about science, data or evidence 😢

In the audio, the dispatcher says the call is for a “cardiac arrest” and a paramedic is heard saying, “CPR in progress.” 👀👀👀

Today we beat Stephen Miller’s lawsuit mill in court! For 3 years I’ve been a defendant in a case filed by America First Legal on behalf of Gateway Pundit & a random antivaxxer we’d never heard of until she sued us. The plaintiffs claimed we “censored” them. It was a lie. They just lost.

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. PERIOD.

BREAKING: Trump’s rule change for the Office of Management and Budget will not only require agencies to ensure grants advance the president’s priorities, it will also kill up to 5,000 clinical trials — including 1,000 cancer treatment studies fight2win.standupforscience.net @standupforscience.net

#Ebola update: DRC confirmed 47 new cases on 6/27; 12 of them are already dead. That brings the outbreak total in DRC so far to 1274 cases and 239 deaths. 87% of known contacts of cases were being followed as of yesterday. insp.cd/sitrep-n044-...

Lara Trump sounds like a goat trapped in a tanning bed.

This is so upsetting

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Cancer grifter and anti-vaccine activist William Makis request to appeal the order finding him in contempt of court (for practicing medicine without a license) rejected, judge found the order reasonable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Original case analysis: www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

Yes: pro-natalism, RFK Jr’s obsession with talking about the sperm of teenage boys (Google it 🤯), white nationalism, eugenics, extreme anti-immigrant fervor, the granting of refugee status almost entirely to white Afrikaners, & the kidnapping of minorities & their torture in concentration camps 😢

It’s lovely seeing fans around the world enjoying US culture. But they haven’t been lied to. Like all countries, fun things exist alongside horrible things. The true lesson is that the US is a far better place when it is engaged with the world, not when it shuts itself away.

3 years ago, Musk tweeted that it was time to "move on" from the Fauci Files a full week before his hand-picked journalist released a story he flew internationally twice to write, revealing...Fauci had comms staffers tweeting on his behalf. But conspiracy theories can keep running on fumes forever

‼️ Experts Warn Booming Ivermectin Industry Is 'About Money' as 'Quack Science' Spreads people.com/experts-warn... Me: "This is about political identity. This is about creating distrust in the existing biomedical community. This is about money."

‼️With flu season in full swing, & less than 24h after becoming HHS Sec, RFK Jr ordered CDC to stop promoting flu vaccine How grotesque That day, CDC reported flu had killed 68 kids—11 that week alone—& 16,000 people overall There had been 29 million reported cases & 370,000 hospitalizations

Live rent free in the heads of your (incredibly stupid) enemies Thacker snitch-tagged Mike Benz, too 😂 Senpai, notice me!

France confirms an Ebola case. We're going to see this as long as we let the DRC outbreak spiral out of control. Luckily, France should be able to treat and isolate the patient easily.

Shouldn’t be lost on anyone that the world’s richest man is stoking public health conspiracies after getting called out for gutting USAID—a move that killed hundreds of thousands of people.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Yeah! Those kids better EARN their food just like Elon Musk did

A public health leader’s first duty is to prevent suffering. Vaccines have done that extraordinarily well for generations. Dismantling proven protections is easy. Living with the consequences is much harder.

Republican backers of Trump’s signature domestic policy bill repeatedly claimed that revisions to the food benefits program wouldn’t affect the most vulnerable. But reports from a dozen states show children are losing access.

Ezra Klein addresses his Dialog attendance, saying he went twice and didn't return after 2022, when he found the vibe "curdled and resentful." He writes: "That did prove a pretty good signal of where tech’s politics were going though, maybe I should’ve paid more attention." Amen to that.

A truly vile person. Let’s hope we never have to listen to her again.

I had to delete my prior post because it seemed it wasn't true. It's really getting harder and harder to fact check especially when there are online articles that report things as facts.

This is important. People think it is harmless, take it while do important jobs, mix it with other meds, end up unresponsive in ICU. Something needs to get done.

"Declassified Intelligence," Tulsi Gabbard, Oil on Canvas, 2026

Finally the TRUTH on COVID origins from the ever-vigilant outgoing ODNI lead (& former Democrat) Tulsi Gabbard. The answer, my friends, is in her long-awaited pile of heavily-redacted emails, lists of meeting room numbers (I kid you not), already-public reports etc. etc. www.odni.gov/index.php/ne...

"I am deeply concerned about why such a large team is now necessary. The White House has so far refused to say who all those doctors were" Top Democrat on House Judiciary Cmte is probing Trump health. New inquiry to White House doctor about reports Trump saw 22 specialists

Obama: A declaration that we are all created equal, endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, and that in the newly independent United States there will be no kings or lords, no serfs or subjects, but only citizens,

Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

Obama: "As algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage, as only the loudest most extreme voices get attention, fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest most tribal instincts, it's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying."

Obama: Shared values that make democracy possible. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections.

For years anti-vaxxers have falsely claimed there was no autism before vaccines. But I guess they are ok with that now since Andrew Wakefield has a book coming out about a child with autism in 1867 on the Oregon Trail. Too bad the book can't die from cholera. What a waste of energy, water, and AI.

NEW from Important Context: All eyes have been on the Trump slush fund settlement, but a week earlier, the DOJ settled a Biden-era censorship lawsuit brought by anti-vax writer Alex Berenson, which was on appeal from a federal court dismissal. According to Berenson, it included a 6-figure payout.

Inside the push to keep RFK Jr.’s vaccine agenda alive: Kennedy and a small group of advisors are trying to reshape our vaccine infrastructure behind the scenes, to support Kennedy's anti-vaccine biases. wapo.st/3SNfafW via @rachelroubein.bsky.social @lenasun.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com

Let's just outlaw humans, make it easier for the data centers

The absurdity 👇🏻 RFK Jr. orders passenger from hantavirus-stricken cruise to remain in quarantine in Nebraska, despite CDC recommendation

Fortunately the FDA leaders who wanted to make this vaccine unavailable to you are gone.
