El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

This warrants reposting now that Quay is RFK Jr's pick to head the NIAID. "It should be obvious that Quay has no relevant expertise and is not reliable."

In a new blog post, I review the first chapter of a new book on #covidorigin, Steven Quay's "The Code as Witness". The book opens with an impossible anecdote, and I also show that its claim of an early cluster at an Army hospital in Wuhan is unsupported.

My quote of the day Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wall stood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over again and again, even as the sun rose to shine upon the heaped rubble and steam: Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is... Ray Bradbury

While this is a HUGE WIN, there's more work to do. It's time to DOUBLE DOWN in pressuring Congress. They need to revoke the OMB Proposal. Members of Congress who fail to stop the Proposal will be out of a job January 3rd, 2027, we will make sure of it. 🧵

The graphic displays a photo of Russell Vought and a news clipping from Politico reading: "Senate finalizes funding patch that would block Trump's grant overhaul. Language is included to delay the president's move to put political appointees in charge of grant approval." The graphic reads: "WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DELAYED VOUGHT'S OMB GRANT PROPOSAL"

SARS-CoV-2 did not come from a lab. There is no evidence pointing to laboratory origins. There’s been a massive disinformation campaign to convince the public otherwise. It’s scary how effective that campaign has been.

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

I'm An ICU Doctor. I’m Haunted By What I’ve Seen During The Recent COVID-19 Surge.

“I can’t stop thinking about the 40-something man who told me, ‘I can’t die like this. I just got engaged and have a 6-month-old baby.’ I encouraged him to be positive, but that didn’t stop him from d...

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue And I suppose the fact that you’re up for reelection had nothing to do with it.  Well, I’ve carefully reviewed your qualifications, and I hope that the people of Maine are not fooled by your attempt at being a chameleon.  x.com/senatorcolli...

I have carefully reviewed Todd Blanche’s qualifications to be Attorney General. This includes his record and responses to questions from Senators at the Department of Justice Appropriations hearing, his confirmation hearing, and in the weeks that followed. While I believe Mr.

Higher education has been hemming & hawing about how to earn the public's trust and I must say, capitulating to the Trump administration on behalf of all institutions without a broader discussion, facilitated by Koch-brothers-supported AEI, is a hell of a way to DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF BUILD TRUST.

My quote of the day ls se délectent d'agir de mauvaise foi, car ils ne cherchent pas à persuader par un argument solide, mais à intimider et à déconcerter. [They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.] Jean-Paul Sartre

I have one of my favorite jobs this week...trophy spouse. My wife is speaking at a meeting in Santa Fe and I am tagging alone for a bit of a break. It is particularly nice since the daughter of a long-time colleague of hers has a house at 8000 ft near Santa Fe...the view with my coffee this AM.

My quote of the day There is nothing is more musical than a sunset. He who feels what he sees will find no more beautiful example of development in all that book which, alas, musicians read but too little - the book of Nature. Claude Debussy

He is so effing irresponsible, casually making extreme claims that fuel conspiracies and worse. I am waiting for "What is wrong with yelling fire in a crowded theatre if the presence of a fire has not been confirmed by studies that he deems worthy. I mean, you never know..."

RFK told Dana Bash that Lyme disease “almost certainly” came from gain of function research. Which is utterly false. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...
