Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

The Trump CAPTCHA.

Sure, but this is Trump, it's not like he actually paid them

Whenever I see this $14m algae bloom I remember our school district had a $36m shortfall this year and had to cut 415 positions including special ed teachers and halve the tech modernization plan. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight. So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city. Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks. Let’s go Knicks.

I increasingly turn to non-US papers for honest reporting. Kudos to The Guardian for a headline that would send the NYTimes editors into a meltdown 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

This is the second time this has happened. CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywL...

This right here.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

While we seem stuck innovating better ways to burn through tokens, actually exciting shit is happening in China. insideevs.com/news/797182/...

Yesterday, I joined Respiratory Health Association in Chicago to discuss recent actions by FDA that will unleash a new wave of youth e-cigarette addiction. More than 90% of kids who vape are doing so because of the sweet flavors. Big Tobacco, with this Admin’s blessing, are poisoning our kids.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

The conclusions are much too strong - we see an order of magnitude less *binding* titers against BDBV vs EBOV. I get the need to act fast, and having biding titers is helpful, however without neutralizing titers (and, preferably, T-cell data), these concluding statements are virtually meaningless.

That *is* an answer.

It may not be the most damaging part of the new proposed rules, but the fact that if you want to attend a scientific conference using a grant, you have to get it pre-approved and written into the award is completely bonkers. When we write proposals, we often don't know what conferences will be held.

An FBI agent told me to my face once that there were so many moving pieces, that I would likely end up with more charges than my trafficker. Full disclosure, this is the america ive always known.

"If the United States believes transporting potentially exposed Americans back to U.S. soil is too risky, why is transporting them into Kenya considered acceptable?" Indeed.

For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone. My latest at @wired.com

I actually saw my Elders fired from jobs, humiliated, beaten, bombed, murdered, lynched and assassinated for the right to vote. I have a debt to pay. I repay that debt every Election Day when I vote for the candidate of my choice.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

Hell Yeah Science☄️💥⚡️💯

"An email from NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to research-center grantees, seen by Science, requires their institutions to promise that U.S. authors of papers NIH has flagged because of foreign co-authors will not collaborate with them in the future."

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

Of course they did. They kill the environment for money. NM Oil and Gas Association president tells conference crowd to oppose Deb Haaland’s bid for governor sourcenm.com/2026/05/21/n...

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

In response to the current Ebolavirus outbreak in the DRC, the Oxford Vaccine Group is working urgently w Oxford’s own Clinical BioManufacturing Facility and the Serum Institute of india, to rapidly produce and scale doses of ChAdOx1 BDBV. Impressive 🔥🔥 LFG! www.ovg.ox.ac.uk/news/stateme...

What a shock that the Prasad/Hoeg claim about child deaths from the COVID vaccine was a big fat lie.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

California is launching a $1 BILLION rebate program for electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Starting June 26, authorized retailers will have rebates of $7,500 to $120,000. While Trump forfeits American automotive leadership, we're continuing to dominate in the space.
