MAHA my ass.
A tweet from Frank Luntz reporting that a baby in Kentucky died of whooping cough, the third such death from pertussis in a year. He says the Kentucky Department of Public Health confirmed none of the infants or their mothers were vaccinated. Below is a photo of an empty medical exam room with a paper-covered exam table and medical instruments on the wall.

The end is near. Only the Discussion and Conclusions. It was, as a scientist, terrible to read. As a lay person, you may be taking in by it, but it is all BS what the WHN claim. None, really none of their claims are substantiated by scientific valid data

I wrote about how Trump is destroying American democracy, along with eight crucial lessons about how to counteract it, drawing on my 14 years of studying brave pro-democracy opposition movements in authoritarian regimes across the globe. We’re in serious trouble, but there’s still hope.

The DOGE Purge Isn’t About Efficiency—It’s an authoritarian tactic. I wrote a more in depth piece on the empirical evidence showing how liberal-leaning agencies are being disproportionately targeted and how this mirrors authoritarian strategies seen in Hungary and Turkey.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

If you missed it, here’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s, quite sincerely, historic speech. It’s for, and is galvanizing, Canadians but he also speaks very directly to our allies in the US. Please hear us out. I do find myself thinking how much I’d give up, and do, for this imperfect country.

Ukrainas informationsbembargo om offensiven i ryska Kursk Oblast består, men Ryssland tog kraftigt ökade förluster av pansar och materiel igår när Ukraina sökte upp ryssarna istället för bara ta emot köttvågor.
