AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh's statement in response to reports that the White House is seeking to create an approval panel for NIH grants:
Trump continues to demand that his appointees indict his political opponents without evidence. And even some of his most loyal and ardent far-right MAGA supporters just can’t do it and end up resigning. But he still has Todd Blanche who will do his bidding.
my bet is that he'll flip if it's a 50-50 or 51-49 dem senate, so dems need to somehow get to 52 to be safe

Happy Birthday Leo Tolstoy 🎂 Born on this day in Russia in 1828.
The president’s brain is broken. The Republicans who control our government refuse to do anything about it because they care more about their money and power than the nation’s safety.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump posts AI slop with the caption, “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!”
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Just another fact as the White House spreads misinformation. Before Trump started a war with Iran, international shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz were: 1) Completely open to all vessels. 2) Completely within the territorial waters of Oman. 3) Completely free of charge. Iran had no role
am i to understand that while our men and women in uniform are throwing themselves overboard from their ships due to a lack of basic sustenance and amenities and the strait of hormuz remains closed and oil skyrockets, the secretary of war is doing campaign cameos and sucking down barbeque pork ribs?

During my time at ORR, I visited these kids' shelters and worked on projects to improve their care and speed their release. Work worthy of our government. What our tax dollars are doing here is an atrocity that should be shocking to all, even after everything this admin has done. (6/6)
GSK coming in with a statement basically saying "nah bro, we're good." "“There is no scientific evidence that separate measles, mumps, and rubella shots improve safety or efficacy compared to combined MMR,” a GSK spokesperson said."
What has been promoted in this administration as gold standard science is really a dose of fool's gold. What they stated had no factual basis whatsoever. It was ideology. That is very dangerous. Children will die because we will see fewer kids getting vaccinated.
Another dangerous move from Trump and RFK Jr. putting our kids at risk. Measles are already on the rise in our country, and they want to continue to spread dangerous misinformation instead. Illinoisans deserve trusted advice guided by real experts and established research.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."
In response to today’s White House Executive Order (EO) on vaccines, parents should continue to rely on evidence-based immunization recommendations developed by experts. Today's EO does not change the scientific evidence supporting childhood immunization. That data has been built over decades.
Unlike Trump and Burgum, Pirro was faced with the prospect of having to actually prove a crime in a court of law with actual evidence and someone there able to challenge it with a legal defense. All Trump and Burgum have to do is feed their cult more BS on social media.
This is about Hegseth’s testosterone program. Fox is a disgusting, toxic, revolving network that platforms the worst of humanity, peddles in lies, and pays people well to put it all on full display. But this seems to be what their viewers want, which says a lot about them as well.
this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3mo agoRFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."
This is a really cool piece on how Alan Alda has funded an initiative to help researchers better communicate their findings to the public through learning improv skills.

CIDRAP Op-Ed: Why the FDA tried to bury studies showing vaccines are safe? Because political leaders did not like the results of carefully controlled studies using large data sets and valid methods, explains @jakescottmd.bsky.social in @cidrap.bsky.social www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/cid...

Actor Mel Gibson appeared on Joe Rogan’s show on January 9, 2025, and made the evidence-free claim that ivermectin and fenbendazole would cure cancer. For the subsequent 6 months, prescriptions for the drugs doubled. Misinformation is powerful, and it is killing us from several different angles.
While BioNtech & Moderna become household names because of their Covid vaccines, those emerged from different projects: finding ways to treat the most challenging cancers. They hypothesized that we could vaccinate patients against their own tumors, & evidence is mounting that they were right! 1/n 🧪

There’s no real case here against James Comey and Trump knows it. This isn’t about winning. It’s about the spectacle, the cameras, the legal bills, and toll on Comey and his family. If this is the playbook, anyone can be targeted. This is retribution. Comey won’t be the last.
