Articles of Impeachment for RFK, Jr. introduced thehill.com/policy/healt...

Let's go!

one clear argument I'm NOT hearing from Dems in the face of a govt shutdown: 'but the trump 2.0 Republicans have already been shutting it down: breaking all our systems, ruining our data, firing workers, rescinding appropriations, breaking our agencies, etc etc... & we need to say NO & resist'

A new senate report is full of *shocking* details about DOGE activities inside the federal government. Including, unfortunately, the disturbing access that DOGE affiliates had to our SSNs: "One whistleblower noted the possibility that the agency may need to re-issue SSNs to all who possess one."

They will keep illegally purging our agencies and clawing back our funds if Congress doesn't stand up and fight back. This is why we are out here pushing Congress to get off the sidelines and stop enabling this shit. This is why they need to hold out for a fighting CR. do not take the fear bait

Chobani is facing a boycott after announcing a partnership with Planet Harvest, a company co-founded by Ivanka Trump. #BoycottChobani www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Folks in other countries keep asking why they don't see us in the streets. I'm here to gently inform you, that's a matter of what you're shown, not what's happening. The pro tests have never stopped. If you're not USian, you can still help spread the word: October 18th is the next big one. #NoKings

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

C. elegans is a real animal and we set out to understand how it comes to have its distinctive biogeography. Its ancestral center of diversity is in the higher elevation forests of Hawaii. Its closest relatives are spread across east Asia. Did they travel from Asia? [Preprint 🧵]

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

It's sad that we have to keep repeating this so frequently

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

“Her ability to identify talent, foster collaboration, & build lasting institutional frameworks has left an indelible mark on each organization she has led.” @leslievosshall.bsky.social on #LaskerAward winner Lucy Shapiro 🧪 #Lasker2025 @PNAS.org

NO. The default reaction to ANY medical advice from the WH should be to ignore it. Untreated fevers during pregnancy can come with risks. 🧪 www.statnews.com/2025/09/24/t...

It should be great!

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

Anyway, here is some actually incredible news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reducing car dependency is a key tool in defending democracy in a whole lotta ways.

I hear endlessly (including right now on the radio) that “the new consensus” is that Covid was “almost certainly” caused by a lab leak. This might be a political “consensus”, led by the same White House that says tylenol caused autism. But it’s not the scientific one.

ACOG reaffirms safety of acetaminophen. “Suggestions that acetaminophen use in pregnancy causes autism are not only highly concerning to clinicians but also irresponsible when considering the harmful and confusing message they send to pregnant patients…” 🧪 www.acog.org/news/news-re...

This is Rubicon crossed. Never has elected official or appointee interfered with drug oversight like this. It has implications for public health, national security, and economic implications. They’re not good. You can’t invest in something when you think FDA is drafting policy from tweets.

The BS asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Thank you to every science communicator who is doing the almost impossible work of countering misinformation every day. Every single one of you is saving lives!

Early Voting is underway in #VA. Virginians, we need you to turn out and vote early for gun violence prevention champions including @abigailspanberger.com @jonesjay.bsky.social @senatorhashmi.bsky.social and our House of Delegates candidates. Learn more at elections.bradyunited.org.

It's still crazy to me that I have to see Kristi Noem's face at the airport

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Kenvue (Tylenol maker) is the main competitor of Dr Oz company iHearb which makes the phony replacement medicine being promoted by crackhead RFK Jr... always follow the money!

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

This autism press conference is an insult to science and medicine. It is a bunch of shameless male quacks shoveling bullshit at pregnant women, families and people with autism. This is a historic embarrassment for America and it is wildly dangerous.

in retrospect, it was a mistake to teach algebra and geometry but not "statistics for everyone" in high school we are drowning in lies, partly because we never learned to swim

Goebbles or Miller?

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Get. Off. Twitter.

I finally watched The Mirror Crack'd, about an actress who murders a fan who reveals that years before they had met when the fan was infectious with rubella, and the actress was newly pregnant, leading to the developmental disability of her child.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing. Pregnant women - Tylenol is safe. sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

And for scientists— NIH and NSF support for good science has been ripped away with the active collaboration of the corrupt Court. Not just in the AFGE case but in the RIF case: NIH exceptional-scored applications couldn’t go out this year because Trump/SCOTUS performed mass firings.

(4) their funding and propaganda outlets are destroyed; (5) the entire fucking system of government is fully reformed and rebuilt from the ground up if you want to skip all those steps straight to forgiveness, you're not being serious about any of this. you're in denial

there may be a time for extending empathy and compassion to the marginal trump voter, but that should only occur after (1) trump is out of power; (2) the rest of the fascists that populate the entire federal government are out of power; (3) many if not most are in jail;

maybe people are ultimately responsible for their own choices, and that doesn't just mean how they vote, but what news sources they consume, how seriously they take elections, how much time and effort they put into making that choice.

My littlest turns 15 today!

Charlie Kirk was not a good man. He was a racist. A bigot across the spectrum of bigotry. A misogynist. Callous when he spoke about school shootings. He peddled hate. His version of Christianity is not the version any church I have known would recognise. No. #CharlieKirk was not a good man.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Pathetic

So many academics are on HB-1 visas. This is another attack by #RussellVought on universities and scientific research. Stop telling me anything this administration does is in good faith or with any sort of policy goal except destruction.

What the Ezra Klein brigade always misses is that if the only way “we can all live together” is to sacrifice the rights and dignity of huge swaths of Americans to appease far right reactionaries (who won’t be appeased anyway)… we actually can’t all live together!

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas. Link: www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

I condemn political violence, as everyone should. But condemning political violence and honoring a man who spoke hate are not the same.
