I’m sorry but aren’t simulated phishing emails the opposite of wellness? They still cause a nanosecond of anxiety.

The CDC released a new study on a continued apparent increase in autism prevalence. RFK Jr's press release says the rise isn't "solely attributed to the expansion of diagnoses," seemingly contradicting the conclusion of the study's authors that it's better detection.

Every moderate who told me to calm down in 2016 owes me a thousand dollars.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

I really liked the Pitt until they refused to honor a patient’s know. advance directive because of legal pressure from family after doc pretended it was DPOA’s choice. Don’t do that in real life. #ethics

Just in case you were wondering, fish sauce is a secret weapon on hamburgers. Smash burger with pimento cheese and avocado here.

There is literally no upside to this administration. None whatsoever.

So my workplace just deleted 20 years of my saved emails accidentally. How’s your day going?

Let me know when the civil war starts

Olaf Scholz rebuked U.S. Vice President JD Vance for suggesting that far-right parties should not be shut out of government. Germany's other political parties have refused to work with the far-right AfD.

Seven former top Manhattan federal prosecutors, including several who served under Republican presidents, issued a statement Friday praising Danielle Sassoon’s decision to resign rather than obey an order to seek dismissal of corruption charges against New York City’s mayor.

GOOD MORNING! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! 💖

Between the Bove/Sassoon/Adams contretemps and Attorney General Bondi’s preposterous letters to Apple and Google, Thursday was about as bad a day for the Department of Justice’s credibility as we’ve seen in generations. Me, via “One First”: www.stevevladeck.com/p/124-the-th...

RFK Jr is HHS Secretary. People who are supposed to represent US decided our lives are expendable. Read my promise to stand up for science & facts—and what YOU can do to fight against disinformation ⬇️ Science isn’t going anywhere. Neither am I. news.immunologic.org/p/rfk-jr-is-...

When this little girl’s brother died, she decided bunnies were his spirit animal. Our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social sent her family this—it has the song she & her parents wrote for him, with his heart rhythm as the drums in the background. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

If you voted for Trump and now you’re disappointed based on his very predictable actions, I want to tell you that I have NO sympathy for you.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

He couldn't even get Paoletta's e-mail address correct.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

Dark Age 2.0. RFK Jr.’s nomination clears a major hurdle as key GOP senator assents www.statnews.com/2025/02/04/r... via @statnews

Senator Bill Cassidy for all his bluster about being a physician & the importance of vaccines just voted in favor of #RFKJr as HHS Secretary. I am appalled that he claims to be in this profession after voting to put the American public, our patients, in harm's way. So much for #DoNoHarm? #BlockRFKJr

In 1900, 30.4% of all deaths in the US occurred among children under 5. Today, 0.75% of deaths in the US are among kids under 5. That’s because of science: vaccines, combating acute illnesses, & preventive health interventions. But RFK Jr & MAHA oppose things that improve health. 1/

I see STI guidelines have been removed by the CDC - here are the Canadian guidelines. Our resistance patterns are often similar but we do get resistant organisms later than the US: www.canada.ca/en/public-he... #Medsky
