nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

In this case-control study, expansion of Medicaid eligibility was associated with significantly higher prevalence of colorectal cancer screening rates among Spanish-preferring Latina women and English-preferring Latino and Latina patients. ja.ma/4clVUhp

(1/2) A new study in @jama.com from @gaildonofrio.bsky.social et al found that 7-day injectable buprenorphine and daily tablet buprenorphine are equally safe and effective in engaging patients with opioid use disorder in treatment after an emergency department visit. news.yale.edu/2026/02/11/s...

The home healthcare workforce is disproportionately comprised of immigrants, and it's certainly not because they take jobs US-born folks want. As a result, "a 25% increase in the steady state flow of immigrants to the US would result in 5,000 fewer deaths nationwide."

This is politics not science.

Case study in why humanities education is important! Any slight scratch below the surface would see all the historical & political questions raised by Bad Bunny's halftime performance.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Episcopalians for the win? Seems like the US church (post-schism in early 00s due to ordaining openly gay bishops) is stronger and more well positioned for this moment of moral clarity than others might be - see bishop of national cathedral & this

Wow, what an afternoon. I knew we'd be firm, but I didn't expect things to get that heated. I like Rosa, but she has been coming up short right when we need her most. Not every faith leader at today's meeting wanted to abolish ICE, but I think all seemed to want more than what she is proposing.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Do all political careers end in ignominy? Esp when people hang around to long? We have a deep bench of strong D potential successors - DeLauro would have done well to raise one up years ago. www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/02/06/d...

She’s my rep in a SAFE D district where, I suspect, Abolish ICE is supported by north of 75% of her district. What is she doing? This isn’t leadership & speaks to some “creature of Washington” & consultant speak vibe. Do better DeLauro!

The number of Missourians waiting in jail for services from the state’s mental health department continues to rise, with a backlog of more than 500 people with stalled cases. via @missouriindependent.com

Via Ralph Chapoco: An Alabama legislative committee Thursday approved contracts worth $800,000 with four law firms to defend Alabama Department of Corrections staff and corrections officers in civil lawsuits brought by people who have been incarcerated and their families.

The Washington Post gutted the health team which I helped to lead despite our stories being among the most widely read, impactful and adept at reaching new audiences.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

State snow removal from city sidewalks is gonna be my villain origin story.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

In Connecticut, median travel time to #Methadone treatment was 11 minutes by car and 42 minutes by public transit, with over half of census block groups lacking adequate transit access. ja.ma/4abewxR

Apparently we can't always offer life-saving care to undocumented patients, but we can always ask the family to consent to organ donation when they die. My heart hurts so much, I think I'm going to throw up.

Veterans with homeless experience enrolled in tailored #HPACT primary care clinics had significantly higher continuity with their usual clinician and more primary care visits. ja.ma/4tdaxJZ

Mandatory Medicaid work requirements brought to you by HR 1 will take away coverage from people who desperately need it and shift taxpayer $ to for-profit vendors like Equifax.

I'm on Capitol Hill watching NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya testify to the Senate HELP committee. Thankfully I haven't been escorted out of this event (yet). Here's what I'm following. You can also watch live here: www.help.senate.gov/hearings/mod...

📣New publication in JAMA Network Open!📣 We assessed travel time to clinics providing methadone (OTPs) in CT via mass transit compared to personal vehicle. Prior work showed long drive times; we show that methadone is inaccessible for people who use buses & trains. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

As an Eagle Scout I've supported the changes in the organization and it's expanded values. What Hegseth is doing is shameful and Scouting America should not capitulate.

This is crazy. Univ of New Haven has seen a loss of 1/3 of their enrollment *poof* gone.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs “This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

The further dismantling of our infrastructure for the federal funding of science (NIH & NSF) makes the likelihood of academics debasing themselves to rich people of questionable ethics & morals like Epstein so much higher.

“I will tell you a story while we are waiting,” said Frog. “Oh good,” said Toad.

Executive branch candidates have no pathway to winning without the cities. I don’t particularly care how the bus stops and shelters get cleared as long as they’re clear. Get the candidates out there with shovels and cameras, baby. @ctdems.bsky.social

Honored to collaborate with @reginalabelle.bsky.social on a look at the state of policy-relevant substance use data in the nation for @brookings.edu: www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power. a 🧵 www.amazon.com/Asymptomatic...

"I think it's completely inappropriate to have someone from the Trump administration speaking directly to our children." Fairfield Public Schools announces, then abruptly cancels, school visit by Linda McMahon

“If you’re struggling to buy a home it’s because you didn’t work very hard” is an insane thing to say
