This is horrifying Tuskegee-level shit.
Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · 3h agoThe CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
This is bureaucratic violence. ICE quietly stopped taking fingerprints from people in detention, so USCIS denied their applications by default. Nobody weighed the merits of a single case. People's applications were thrown out because the agency holding them would not take their fingerprints.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 19h agoThis was one of the more diabolical Trump admin moves on immigration; ordering ICE to stop taking biometrics for detained immigrants seeking immigration benefits from USCIS, which meant that the agency would deny their applications by default.
The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

A Mysterious Nonprofit Run by SpaceXAI’s Top Lawyer Is Paying the Salaries of Government Workers
The National Design Studio has been something of a successor agency to DOGE. A WIRED investigation finds some of its members are on loan from a nonprofit run by SpaceXAI’s general counsel.

Measles cases are over 1,000 in Pennsylvania. US hospitals and health systems that haven't seen this disease in decades now have to consider what happens when a suspected measles patient walks through the door. www.wired.com/story/measle...

Like so much else, this should result in the prosecution of everyone involved.
Michael Froomkin@mfroomkin.bsky.social · 3d agoRelative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
![Dear [name],
For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!
With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.
Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.
I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.
May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!
Sincerely,
[signed]
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nnffk6m46cmabw3e6cxo2fhj/bafkreidnkmkq4exjng37i7mvp4oqyjftbfleykhwke4k22lsnpntgmxpla)
It’s not just one billionaire. It’s a full-blown cult of billionaires who believe dictatorship should replace democracy—and that technology (crypto and AI) will make this inevitable. They say it loud. Some guy just wrote a book about it (That guy is me!) www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Unprecedented corruption, happening every day, right in front of us. A constitutional order that cannot end & severely punish this is not really worth saving. We need massive institutional reform.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 4d agoA 10K contribution and a $900 million return. The scale of the graft in Homeland Security is a) off the charts and b) possible because no-one believes they will face any accountability
