Yup—it’s good that the folks who praised Bhattacharya’s appointment now realize he’s an anti-vaxx MAGA/MAHA activist who embraces censorship (firing people whose views he doesn’t like; banning words; ending research he considers “woke”; censoring papers) But the writing was ALWAYS on the wall 🤦‍♂️

How it started / how it's going, Lena Wen edition. I appreciate the change of heart but I'd be substantially more sympathetic if it hadn't been breathtakingly in March of 2025 that Bhattacharya is utterly unsuited for the job.

Texas AG and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton couldn’t be bothered to spend America’s 250th birthday in America. But that’s not even the most scandalous thing he got caught doing recently.

The Trump administration last year cut the CDC’s program that monitors food-borne illness outbreaks so they can intervene. In case you’re wondering why an outbreak of explosive diarrhea has sickened 2000 people but the CDC is only reporting 145 cases. www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-di...

Your regular reminder... #RejoinEU #Euro

Mike Galsworthy@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social · last mo.

The UK can’t be forced to join the Euro on joining the EU - no other country has and there’s no clock, penalty, or lever. It’s not a thing. Don’t confuse a pure political ritual with an enforceable contract. Joining the Euro is entirely voluntary… *IF* you even qualify.

But power and durability aren't the same thing, as Le Guin reminded us with her oft-quoted maxim that "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings": www.ursulakleguin.com/nbf-medal 3/

For generations, the American empire was the most powerful force on earth, and so we tended to assume that it was the most *durable* force on earth - surely anything so powerful *must* also be *eternal*? 1/

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

At @defendpublichealth.bsky.social, we’ve been fighting attacks on public health by The Regime. We’ve filed amicus briefs in the successful lawsuit against RFK Jr. and we’ve led a campaign to block Casey Means as Surgeon General. But that’s not enough. Public Health Week starts Monday. Stay tuned.

This is incredibly important. The Trump Administration's pullback from treating and preventing HIV at home and abroad is a travesty. So much needless suffering and death will result.

RFK Jr wants to “Make America Healthy Again” by ending vaccination—to drive up sickness, suffering & death from infection—& by pushing tanning beds (which can cause deadly melanoma), beef tallow (this raises LDL cholesterol) & raw camel’s milk to “cure” autism (this can spread food-borne illnesses)

Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com · 4mo ago

Tanning beds are “dreadful, and young people typically do not weigh the risks properly....That is why we don’t let them smoke, we don’t let them drink alcohol. We shouldn’t let them use tanning beds. It’s just as toxic, with no upside benefits.” www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-cre...
