Weaponizing the FDA Against Vaccines: "Weaponizing the FDA to make arbitrary, unsupportable decisions will only discourage companies from pursuing newer, better vaccines. Which, sadly, appears to be the goal." via @pauloffit.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

UPDATE: Congressman @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social has confirmed that Juan Nicolás and his mother were deported despite the 2-month-old’s recent hospitalization for bronchitis. “They were abandoned across the border in Mexico.” thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/17/2...

Jeffrey Epstein was investigated for being a Russian spy Polish PM says photographs suggest financier was recruited to supply Moscow with kompromat — as Christopher Steele notes Robert Maxwell connection www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

📢 European Commission @ec.europa.eu @euclimateaction.bsky.social: " #Paris, #Vienna, #Zagreb and other European cities will be at more risk of #dengue, #Zika and #chikungunya #outbreaks as #ClimateChange expands #mosquito range 🦟" environment.ec.europa.eu/news/paris-v...

Oh my God, this is simply not possible. It cannot be possible. The NIH director, the DIRECTOR, does not know what actually happens at the NIH. Like, what?! [My best friend spent two decades at NIH as an intramural researcher; the NIH has an intramural research program, irp.nih.gov/].

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

As an ID physician who was on the frontlines of #COVID from the beginning and saw countless people die of this disease I find this take from Bhattacharya to be insulting. It disrespects every healthworker who risked their life and the patients who died.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

Children are dying in the US concentration camps www.cbsnews.com/news/anadith...

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

If you can’t see the links between the people in this photo and ICE kidnapping, torturing, & murdering people, then you really are not paying attention at all. At all. See, for example, this astounding piece by @sarahdigregorio.bsky.social www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

This bullshit always makes my blood boil. It’s actually not illegal to organize a protest! Protests are rarely spontaneous! Someone has to make them happen. Sometimes those people also provide messaging, and did you know printing is really easily accessible now??

The people who yell about 2nd amendments rights will be the same people who will say that a man shot by ICE shouldn’t have had a gun.

Please keep in mind this number does not include people who died in ICE detention. Last year 32 died in custody, the most in decades. This year there have already been 5 deaths-- including one ruled a homicide abcnews.go.com/US/cuban-imm...

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

I can’t believe I have to post this. But the polio vaccine is absolutely necessary. 🤦‍♀️

ICE is immoral.

Your written protocols and lab notebooks are a love letter to your future self (whether it’s you or a future lab member). Please be kind. Here are some critical things I have frequently noticed missing: (feel free to add yours in thread 🧵)

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Now this hits

"We are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place.” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson speaks after U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents shot and injured two people. www.ms.now/news/shootin...

When things are unambiguous, it is on journalists - and, in fact, all of us - to describe things exactly as they are. There are no “alternative facts” or “alternative realities,” no matter how hard some would like to convince you otherwise.

Emmanuel Macron’s comments come as Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, warns against turning world into ‘robber’s den’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Way to geaux, @sjryan3.bsky.social !

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

I’m so angry! The woman was not angling for the ICE agent. Don’t let the Trump propaganda machine lie to you. Notice how not a single ICE raid was held during Venezuelan demonstrations in support of Trumps illegal operation. Curious.

Bill Cassidy spent 2025 criticizing RFK Jr’s radical moves, but failing to actually do anything meaningful, despite his powerful committee chairmanship. In 2026, the senator is offering more of the same, indifferent to the consequences of his passivity. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi... RFK Jr. is about to launch a dangerously unethical experiment in West Africa.

Ok. *Now*

It’s nearly 10 am on the east coast of the US. Do you know where your elected head of state is?

Mike Johnson needs to be held accountable for dereliction of duty. Where the hell is congress????

Happy New Year from South Louisiana. If you look closely, you’ll see that it takes exactly 1.5 beers to get me to play drums.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Gee. I wonder why. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
