The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

@schumer.senate.gov's DC office number is: (202) 224-6542. His chief of staff is Mike Lynch: [email protected]. His NY state office number is (212) 486-4430. His state director is Martin Brennan: [email protected]. Do not stop. Call. Email. Do it again. Shut. It. Down.

Again let's repeat: "it would take only 4 GOP Senators, or 6 to 7 Representatives, to save the country" Fine, with filibuster/impeachment hurdles, say 30 Why is everyone in the media laser-focused on What Democrats Must Do? Stop giving those 10-30 Republicans free passes: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

#RFKJr has now lost the @nypost.com. His days as HHS Secretary are numbered. Keep up the pressure—let’s get him out the door. nypost.com/2025/09/04/o...

The Guardian is covering the rise of @defendpublichealth.bsky.social. #IHAT is evidence-based policy making and grassroots people powered movement building for justice and rights. MAHA is policy-based evidence making rooted in fascist politics and capital-serving eugenic ideas. #IHATnotMAHA

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

also, this is very Soviet, except that Stalin then arrested and executed the statisticians

Have you benefited from a medical treatment or know someone who has? This one man wants to shut it all down. It sounds nonsensical and mad. And it is. But Russell Vought is head of the OMB, wants to and can do it. Call your members of Congress. Get rid of Vought, not medical research.

How much expertise did a key vaccine panel lose this week when RFK Jr. fired its 17 members and appointed 8 new ones? @meredithwadman.bsky.social and I looked at their publication records to find out. www.science.org/content/arti...

Currently, private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid require no-cost coverage of vaccines, which is connected to recommendations made by ACIP and CDC. If these recommendations are removed, people could face out-of-pocket costs. We explain:

Health care providers in rural communities often rely heavily on funding from Medicaid and other government health programs. About half (52%) of rural residents are worried that Medicaid funding reductions would impact their or their family’s ability to get or pay for care.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This is so interesting! @aliciay.bsky.social's summary of the current situation of #globalhealth is highly useful. She calls for using #SpecialDrawingRights and #debt #jubilees in response to the US's sudden withdrawal from multilateralism.
