“MAHA Santa” is a perfect allegory for the MAHA movement: fat-shaming a fictional character who is literally immortal for eating cookies one night a year, while our surgeon general nominee is advertising (for $) milkshakes as “healthy” if they’re made from raw milk…

This will be taken by somebody who thinks that vaccines cause autism and/or somebody who will push Neuralink. Evidence-based neurological care is no longer needed.

More on the continuing purges at #NIH. Now 13 out of 27 institute directors have been gotten rid of. This is not normal. @jonathanwosen.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/12/27/n...

Back in the old days, we used to call this a purge. Firing all your senior leaders at NIH? It's a purge. Just call it what it is.

It appears there is no holiday from the upheaval in the #HHS agencies. Yet another #NIH institute director appears to be on the verge of leaving, @jonathanwosen.bsky.social reports. www.statnews.com/2025/12/27/n...

Anti-vax "scientist" James Lyons-Weiler Phd shows how dangerous MAHA is to our health. Speaking at the Sept 2025 meeting of the anti-vax physician group AAPS, Lyons-Weiler noted he is "the strategic director of policy integration and research realigment at the MAHA Institute"

New: Long-time predator Mary Talley Bowden, MD is officially reprimanded for unprofessional conduct by the Texas Medical Board. The reprimand amounts to a sternly worded letter. There is no substantive punishment. No fine. No CME. No probation or license restrictions.

They won’t leave. But the fact they moan about shows the level of their greed. They couldn’t spend their money, minus the taxes, in multiple lifetimes.

Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.

Online harms impact everyone. In 2025, CCDH research shined the spotlight on the consequences of online misogyny & unregulated AI can have on kids, parents, and communities. Our work isn’t done yet. In 2026, we’ll continue to work to build safer digital spaces for all people. More ️️ ⤵️

Medicare is launching a new pilot program that will require prior approval for 17 health services using artificial intelligence tools. The pilot will last six years. It begins on January 1, 2026, for those on traditional Medicare in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington.

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

Jimmy Kimmel gave an 'Alternative Christmas Message' to the Brits, saying "tyranny is booming" in the U.S. He also addressed his suspension: "We won, the president lost, and now I'm back on the air every night, giving the most powerful politician on earth a right and richly deserved bollocking."

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Viewpoint: The myth of an over-vaccinated America: The US DOES follow global consensus; Denmark stands out, choosing to protect its children less - which may work in a small, homogenous country with universal healthcare, but not in others. www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte... @cidrap.bsky.social

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

ICE is obstructing criminal prosecution of sex crimes against children

"One longtime colleague and friend, [John Ioannidis] who has kept in touch with [Bhattacharya], pleads for scientists—and reporters—to give him a chance. " Ioannidis is part of the COVID contrarian crew. Of course he says that. It's like a Big Oil exec asking to give EPA head Lee Zeldin a chance.

My segment on CNBC today Gottlieb: ‘If We Go to the Danish Model and We Substantially Reduce Vaccination … We’re Going to Have to Build New Pediatric Hospitals’ grabien.com/story?id=562...

Except that we won’t. The social Darwinism and eugenics are a huge part of MAHA. After all, a key idea behind the antivax movement is that vaccine-preventable diseases can’t harm you if you’re healthy and that if you’re not healthy it’s your fault.

Not only are groceries more expensive, food is now less safe thanks to @fda.gov Director Makary, RFK Jr & Trump. #MAHA

Now that Homeland Security has access to healthcare data, many immigrants (those lawfully allowed to be present) are avoiding getting care out of fear. This is clearly impacting the health and vitality of our diverse communities. #theDiagnosis Full link to episode: youtu.be/-X1JKWfsuy8?...

Things will get significantly worse. There are a lot of obvious attacks on healthcare & there are a lot of subtle but impactful things that are happening and nobody even talk about them. Things will get worse. And as always - cruelty is the point!

This ProPublica story is about hospital monopoly power in small towns. When one hospital becomes the only system, it stops being just a place of care - it becomes the dominant employer, economic engine, and political actor.

I would rather have been wrong about this.

A stark look at the speech that blurred the line between leadership and losing control on the world stage… hartmannreport.com/p/was-that-a...

My latest: Last month, RFK Jr.'s dep. sec. staged something of a coup against FDA boss Marty Makary. The White House waved it off. But what a year: 4,000 staff out, a drop in foreign inspections and $$ restrictions that left lab staff sitting idle. GIFT: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

For example, there was this hydroxychloroquine study in Brazil done in part by Harvey Risch at Yale. He thinks ivermectin can cure cancer. At least he tells people that to sell them ivermectin.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Should the US adopt Denmark's vaccine schedule for children? @jakescottmd.bsky.social argues no in a piece that points out the risks such a move would pose for American kids. www.statnews.com/2025/12/19/d...

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate. RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.
