Without them, premiums will increase for more than 20 million people next year, and an estimated two million people are expected to lose coverage. The magnitude of the change depends on where people live, how old they are, and what they earn. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What do new vaccine recommendations mean for older adults? My colleague @jburns18.bsky.social and I took a look healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/09...

Preach

He’s sincerely the dumbest man to ever occupy the office.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

We told @time.com that journalists shouldn’t trade their independence for access to Pentagon spin. “Agreeing not to look where the government doesn’t want you to look and, by extension, not to print what it doesn’t want you to print, is propaganda, not journalism.”

Join @healthjournalism.org and the Expert Vaccine Analysis Team THURS, SEPT 11 at 11am ET for a webinar on research re #vaccines & #autism. It's highly likely any HHS report on autism will try to implicate vaccines, so know the real science in advance. Register: healthjournalism.org/event/prepar...

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

As flagged by Democracy Docket, Mitchell recently appeared on a podcast where she highlighted a president’s ability to intervene in voting by citing a “threat to the national sovereignty of the United States.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

RFKJr's cousin Joe Kennedy III

I hope so. I don’t trust anything coming out of the DOJ.

"Be loud for America" is a great line, tbh. I can picture it on t-shirts and bumper stickers, etc.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

It's increasingly clear that Trump plans to ride the crime issue into a third term. That he's telegraphing so clearly how he intends to manipulate and lie to voters ought to be seen as an existential challenge to Washington journalists. presswatchers.org/2025/08/jour...

Listening to RFKjr one thing is evident: the worm is winning.

@maddow.msnbc.com is on 🔥tonight taking media to task for chasing shiny objects instead of what’s actually happening. “watch what they do, not what they say”. Clear and present dangers

I swear they’re taking bets on how many people they can kill. Hope Senator Cassidy feels safe 😡 Covid Vaccine Opponent Tapped to Lead Federal Review Team www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/h...

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

AHRQ, the federal agency once prized by health care researchers, has been "decimated" @chelseacirruzzo.bsky.social reports. With ~ 90% of its workers gone following Trump admin cuts and early retirements, AHRQ can't distribute grants or perform other key functions www.statnews.com/2025/08/13/f...

@maddow.msnbc.com is on a roll right now in A block. Pam Bondi rightfully on the receiving end of a well deserved takedown.

As a journalist this makes my stomach churn

though I am a congenital optimist, for the first time I believe that if the behavior that this administration has exhibited in just its first six months continues and is amplified for its full four years, the America you know will be gone. And I don’t know how we will get it back.”

Wait he's talking about the same guy who wears pancake stage makeup, dyes his hair gold, and wears a girdle? That guy?

Liar

Part 2 of my story for #aginginAmericaNews on tech and caregiving is live: aginginamerica.news/2025/08/05/t...

HUGE move in the journalism world.

As everyone … scrambles for further evidence of Trump’s connection to the prolific pedophile and sex-trafficker, what’s been—once again—lost in this discourse is the hundreds of women who survived the horrors Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their moneyed friends inflicted upon them.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is trying out AI-led prior authorization for some traditional Medicare services. My latest for @healthjournalism.org healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/07...

Does Maxwell get a deal from DOJ if she implicates Trump? Not a chance in hell. Does Maxwell get a deal from DOJ if she exonerates Trump? Probably. She knows both things very well. She’s a criminal & a liar given incentive by DOJ to lie to benefit herself. Release the files.

Let that sink in for a sec.

He's such a petty child. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Dear @nytimes.com we don’t want to read about the tragic screwed up life of the terrorist who killed the Hortmans. I don’t care. I want to read about Melissa and Mark and Gilbert the dog. All the good they did and stood for. Stop glorifying and elevating horrible people #melissahortman

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Now seems the time to repost this big story we did a few years ago... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's not the crime, it's the coverup. (although in this case it may actually be both). #Epsteinfiles

Shout out to the @wsj.com for publishing the Epstein story, even after being threatened with legal action by Trump. Thank you for showing other outlets what it means to stand up to those in power.

When you're SO on the Epstein list that you're forced to share an honest medical report for the first time ever because maybe it will distract, but nah.

I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately. He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.

Deadline extended to July 28! There's still time to apply!

Now might be a really good time for someone in the DOJ to leak the #Epstein files to an enterprising journalist. Just sayin. (my signal:LLS.01)
