So very sad. A great place for a healthy fresh salad. I will miss Salad and Go which was a healthy alternative to standard fast food.

Today Senator Rand Paul will cement his place in history as one of the most anti-science, anti-public health, disinformational physicians ever.

At a time when our nation and the world are facing growing infectious disease threats to our collective health, Sen. Paul’s persistence at conspiratorial muck raking is a disservice to us all. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Public health does not need Craig Spencer. Or MAHA. No one in public health needs anyone who thinks it's great to create massive measles outbreaks, nor does public health needs anyone who thinks those people creating outbreaks have anything to offer.

This just in: Craig Spencer has decided to be a fucking idiot and The Atlantic is choosing after over 150 years to be a misinformation rag.

For years the anti-vaccine organization Children's Health Defense has told parents not to vaccinate. Now parents of unvaccinated children want to know why their kids are so sick. So CHD is going to make up some more lies this morning on their show.

"There is no vaccine injury that improves and then kills a child overnight. And certainly not two children in the same night.” Excellent reporting on the Idaho twins case by Michelle Smith. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... @theguardian.com

Idaho mom charged with murder says vaccines killed her twins. Doctors say it’s not possible

Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine group once led by RFK Jr, still stands by Andrea Shaw after her indictment

He is literally giving infectious diseases a break. And Americans are paying a horrible price for his callous indifference.

The Arizona desert has all sorts of critters. I think it's so hot today (115) that this one wanted in. Last I checked he's hanging out by the door seals. Probably catching some cool air leaking through the seals. Can't say I blame this fella.

Anybody speak for 20 minutes with this guy today?

Talked with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today...

“America’s problems are solved problems. Universal healthcare is not some utopian fantasy. It is Tuesday in Toronto. Affordable higher education is not an impossible dream. It is Wednesday in Berlin. Sensible gun regulation is not a violation of natural law. It is Thursday in London.” 👏👏👏

Earlier this year, I made the grounded case for why we should still believe in the promise of America. Today’s America is something we inherited. But tomorrow’s is still for us to make. America’s problems are solved problems. The blueprints exist. Better days are ahead.

50 years ago today I turned 10. All I wanted to do was ride my bicycle and collect bicentennial coins. Still riding a bicycle. I'm still looking for those bicentennial quarters. While a lot has happened in the last 50 laps around the Sun, some things never change.

We all knew RFKjr went to Samoa to experiment on the children there. This article puts the final nail into his false claims that he wasn't in Samoa in 2019 for vaccines. And now his current experiment regarding fallen vaccine rates is upon the children of the US. We must remove RFKjr from HHS.

Michelle R. Smith@bymichellersmith.com · last mo.

New evidence casts doubt on what RFK Jr told the US Senate about his 2019 trip to Samoa ahead of a deadly measles outbreak. Kennedy said the trip had 'nothing to do with vaccines.' But an email his colleague sent just before the visit said they were on a vaccine-related 'mission' #FOIA

For years anti-vaxxers have falsely claimed there was no autism before vaccines. But I guess they are ok with that now since Andrew Wakefield has a book coming out about a child with autism in 1867 on the Oregon Trail. Too bad the book can't die from cholera. What a waste of energy, water, and AI.

Kennedy is hoppin' mad that one of the fraudulent anti-vax "papers" he relies on was not just retracted, but REMOVED. All he can do, however, is fume, stew and write angry letters to the editor, as reported by Michelle R. Smith in The Guardian.

Last week @bymichellersmith.com published a story about how journals were removing and investigating papers that had in some cases long been criticized for not being scientifically sound. RFK Jr does not seem happy about it www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Previously misguided parents had to travel to a country like Panama to have this dangerous snake oil "stem cell therapy" perpetrated upon their autistic child. Ed Pilkington in The Guardian reports this child abuse is now happening in the US, thanks to RFKjr. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I got the last word in this article on the retraction and removal of anti-vaccine papers! The papers featured should never have been published and have done untold harm BUT articles like this give me hope! Scientists! We can prevail! www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

It's about time. Low/no-quality studies by anti-vaxxers--starting with Wakefield's fraudulent 1998 MMR-autism paper in The Lancet--have falsely frightened parents out of vaccinating, and children have died. Three more such anti-vax papers finally seeing proper investigation and retraction.

Please read and share the latest by @bymichellersmith.com about the three scientific studies that helped justify controversial changes to US vaccine policy under the Trump administration and how the journals that published them are now scrutinizing them www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Oh, so now MIT cares when it hits them in the pocketbook. Forgive me for not sympathizing. MIT didn't care when faculty member Retsef Levi, on the ACIP CDC vaccination committee voted to take multiple vaccines off the schedule. No concern for life then from MIT. www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

ICYMI, hantavirus on this cruise ship is proving not only is no one in charge at the CDC, but that news outlets won't help us either in the even of another pandemic. It will be "May the odds ever be in your favor" for all of us.

Is this what HHS Secretary Kennedy means by "radical transparency"?
