“There’s no defined ‘high risk’,” Ault said. Because of the high hospitalization rate for babies with no preexisting conditions, simply being an infant should make them eligible for the shot, Rupp and Ault both said. Dr. Ault says all infants are high risk therefore all infants should get them.

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%. Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

Boar's Head, again. Listeria, again. Pecorino cheese

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

A Republican elected official proudly declaring he has no problem with agents of the state shooting unarmed citizens in the face if they annoy the regime. It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.

Three SpaceX rockets exploded unexpectedly last year – twice raining down debris over busy airspace. “It literally looked like the sun coming out,” one passenger said. Such midair scrambles could become more frequent as launches increase, experts say. www.propublica.org/article/spac...

BREAKING: CDC switches US public health to match Denmark! No, not Denmark's universal healthcare coverage, paid parental leave, paid childcare or paid sick leave. They instead just copied Denmark's recommended vaccine schedule to remove 6 vaccines. That should make us healthy again, right?

New at Can We Still Govern: @agpines.bsky.social & @lizananat.bsky.social explain how the work volatility of low income service employees will make it hard for them to satisfy new SNAP/Medicaid work requirements, even when they work lots of hours. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-volat...

This is the best explanation I've seen about the role of Guyana's oil in what just happened in Venezuela—something @fjquintana.com also alluded to on here yesterday. I still think that only gets you about 40-60% of the way to invasion without Rubio or Miller manipulating Trump for their own ends.

Quite simply, any mail-in voter must now place their ballot in the mail at least ONE WEEK sooner than they might have in previous years...or be encouraged to return them in person, if possible. We need to message around this consistently from this point forward. www.masslive.com/news/2026/01...

"Republicans are never going to fix that problem because they don’t want to. .. While that’s been a usual state of affairs for years, the Trump admin is turbo-charging it. Somehow, the alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota .. is now the basis for freezing all childcare funding." This is excellent:

LA Times has obtained more evidence of illegal toxic ash dumping in the rush to rebuild following the Eaton and Palisades fires: www.latimes.com/environment/...

I spoke with @carlzimmer.com about our terminated grant on wildfire smoke and homes:

What kind of education did Stephen Miller receive that he never heard of Albert Einstein

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

Texas hopes the Permian basin's oil and gas will make it the center of the US data center boom. But geological instability caused by the industry's wastewater complicates this economic development strategy - and threatens widespread environmental damage. [gift link] www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The FDA makes it nearly impossible to figure out where your prescription drugs were made and if there were any issues with the facilities. You can read our explainer about the problem here: www.propublica.org/article/fda-... Big things coming soon! www.youtube.com/shorts/68tWT...

The destruction of the enterprise of US academic science has been one of the most confounding aspects of a hugely confounding year. My @statnews.com colleagues are writing about the consequences for individuals & the country. You want to read this series. www.statnews.com/american-sci...

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking. Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

Floods and Storms Are Ravaging the Jersey Shore. Why Do We Keep Building It Back? The government has spent billions on beach replenishment over the last four decades. But with worsening climate change, experts say more dramatic change is in order. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

“This irresponsible and purposely misleading guidance will lead to more hepatitis B infections in infants and children.” Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

#ACIP voted to ignore decades of science, limiting the ability of families to protect their kids fr preventable diseases. Despite no evidence of vaccine harm, overwhelming evidence the birth dose of hep B strongly protects babies - @jillrose.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

As energy costs skyrocket, the Trump administration’s solution is apparently a useless advisory “National Coal Council” which, incidentally — 9 months later — still has no members! 🤦🏽‍♂️

The FDA has added 2 more cookware brands to the lead contamination list it started in August. The list of cookware that may leach lead now totals 21 kinds of pots and pans. Most are made of aluminum (17) and the rest (4) are brass. All come from India or Pakistan. Let's look a little further. 1/5

"The challenge for Canada is that the vast majority of its seismic monitoring instrumentation is heavily concentrated along the country’s southern border, where the bulk of the population lives." "'Science funding in Canada is pretty threadbare compared to America.'" *That's* saying something.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR $6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

“Thousands of very competitive projects in areas like cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorders and public health improvements most like went unfunded in 2025. Similarly, at the National Science Foundation, the roughly 3,000 fewer new grants encompassed reductions to every area of science”

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs

"Renewable energy is the cheapest form of new electricity" Doesn't seem like despots, dictators and crony capitalists really care www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When 1 of my Greek grandfathers immigrated to America as a kid with his mom, they ran a small lunch counter in Cambridge, Maryland in the 1920s. The KKK destroyed their restaurant & forced them to leave town. But later, they opened another restaurant & those racist losers had to hide in the shadows.

Realtors know that, in many parts of the country, if you educate people about climate risk, the housing market will collapse. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

The irony is, Stephen Miller is Jewish, and this same argument was used to exclude Jews-among others-from the United States And if previous administrations were as racist as Miller, his family would've been denied entry into America

Read that twice, maybe three times. 400 TONS of cocaine. Not a fishing boat but over 800,000 lbs of cocaine…. What are the odds Donny Jr suggested this one?

The DoD Law of War Manual states troops MUST disobey illegal orders Specifically it says “orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal. Similarly, orders to kill defenseless persons..would also be..illegal” If the reports are accurate, Hegseth gave our troops an illegal order

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

For more than half a century, fluoride’s benefits on community health have been documented, but now, following the rise of the Make American Healthy Again movement, conservative lawmakers are getting rid of it.

Mace lies again. She did NOT vote for Biden’s Infrastructure bill that SC sees making improvements across the state! #WeKnowThemByTheirVotes not their rhetoric.

Yum. Nothing beats a sweet crisp WA apple, unless it's a hot juicy apple pie. Let's give a shout out to "Casimiro" and his co-workers who are harvesting apples in Sunnyside WA. #WeFeedYou

One very weird thing about the Rocky Mountains is that since the 1950s or 1960s, we've known they had to have spent most of their geologic history buried under several kilometers worth of their own eroded material until <10 million years ago. Neat recent paper on this here: doi.org/10.1029/2023...

They are still essential heroes in my eyes. Thank you to our healthcare workers!
