Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. chose everyone in the group. Their votes could affect vaccine access for certain childhood vaccines and and the COVID shots. Here's what's at stake.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

Congratulations to my friend Randi Weingarten on the launch of Why Fascists Fear Teachers. From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it's a cornerstone of democracy. Randi's book is a critical read for this moment. sites.prh.com/whyfascistsf...

We all said it when he was looking to be confirmed. I did not need more proof but hopefully this gives those hold outs some. Now please tell your representatives that it is time for Congress to finally impeach RFK! #impeachrfk #impeach #savescience

You need to know what might be coming. Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

Trying to come up with a way to help explain immunology to a general audience on social media, any critiques are welcome. Here is a few images I have made for how i am thinking of approaching it. 🧪

T cells are the best. 💯

I can't science today. My dog ate my research. 🤣🧪

“This president believes he’s above the law. He doesn’t believe the law applies to him. He doesn’t believe the Constitution applies to him, and if we act like that’s normal, we just encourage the continued illegal constitutional behavior," said Murphy.

The shooter at Annunciation Catholic School used an assault weapon to fire dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows of the school’s church—killing two children and wounding 17 others, including 14 children.

We don’t need to accept this life for our kids. It’s our choice to subject children to this horror. Talking with @chrislhayes on @MSNBC and then with @andersoncooper on @CNN later on the path forward.

When the CDC is in turmoil, we all lose. 🧪 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

So you plan to take some cool family pictures from your vacation and these folks just come out and absolutely rock the family photo. #vacation #family #familyphoto

We suck at doinging it. And even on this trip I brought work. But I am going to try and take a break and enjoy my vacation. #lifeofascientist.

Lithium has an essential role in the brain and is deficient early in Alzheimer’s disease, which can be recapitulated in mice and treated with a novel lithium salt that restores the physiological level, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/47mxemu #medsky 🧪

The more we learn about the U.S.-Japan "trade deal", the more we learn there is no deal. Trump rushed out an "announcement" after a 70 minute conversation with Japan's trade negotiator and the press dutifully reported a deal. 1/ No text and widening disagreement on terms.

We all must keep fighting for science! 🧪

More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.

We all know this but how do we take them all down?

The NIH to replace qualified grant reviewers with the bad tans fanclub. Removing people with expertise and years of experience in reviewing grants, so they can be replaced by political lap dogs. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.

Doing scientific research is more than just a passion for me. It is what drives me. Exploring and understanding the unknown is why I keep going through all the failures and setbacks. #science #scientist #research www.instagram.com/reel/DL-X0u1...

Here we go again 🙄 🧪

I will belive it when I see it, but this could be good news. 🧪

Pete 2028!

Disgusting

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Welp, they passed the we hate people bill. I am honestly not shocked. We all knew they would do this since day one. These people do not care about us. Now it is time to start organizing to make sure they don't get to keep their positions. 1 of 2

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

We will keep fighting, and we will keep WINNING! 🧪

This woman has been an absolute MVP for vaccinations at the ACIP meeting today in the face of all these anti-vaxers. Just dropping facts on top of all their speculation and misinformation. 🧪

Call your representative! Keep the pressure on them!

“You don’t have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” he added. Lander is then led into an elevator with his hands behind his back as an aide can be heard asking, “Where are you taking the Comptroller of the city of New York?” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

NEWS IN PHOTO: Trump leaves G7 due to nobody wishing him a happy belated birthday

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

We keep fighting and we keep winning! 🧪

Not only does the new VA policy allow doctors to refuse to treat patients. It allows the VA to fire doctors who they dont agree with. 🧪

NIAID 2026 budget proposal has a 40% reduction in funding and a expected 51% reduction in funded grants. 🧪

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Remember, not to take your eye off the ball. This bill needs to fail.

Trump's 2026 budget proposes to collapse NIH's 27 institutes into 8. NIH just released the budgets for these 8 institutes. One striking difference: NIAID's budget makes ZERO mention of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2. By comparison, mentions of COVID in past NIAID budgets: 2025: 27 2024: 50 2023: 66
