very interesting thing just happened: EWR had a complete ground stop due to “thunderstorms” despite no storms in a 200 mile radius. The only flight to leave from EWR in that window? Air Force One. sure looks like Donald Trump just shut down EWR for 4 hours so he could watch a soccer game!

RFK Jr. told me he would "address drivers of maternal mortality.” But he just fired the researchers that work to improve the health of mothers and babies.

Donald Trump: I'm going to impose massive tariffs! Kamala Harris: Don't vote for that guy, he's going to impose massive tariffs. They'll crash the markets and kill the economy. Trump: I think massive tariffs are great so I'm doing it. Bill Ackman: Nobody could foresee massive tariffs.

Vaccination eliminated polio from the United States 🧵

A line graph titled "Reported polio cases in the United States" displays the number of reported polio cases from 1910 to 2022. The vertical axis represents the number of cases, ranging from 0 to 60,000, while the horizontal axis indicates the years. The graph shows a dramatic peak in polio cases around 1952, with over 58,000 cases reported. Following this peak, there is a noticeable decline in cases, reaching nearly zero by the early 1960s, reflecting the impact of vaccination efforts. The graph includes a note stating it accounts for both wild and vaccine-derived poliovirus infections, whether indigenous or imported.

In the footer are the data sources: Public Health Reports (1942), United States Census Bureau (1945), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023). The graph is attributed to "Our World in Data" and is licensed under CC BY.

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.

The press won't treat Elon as the national security threat he is. Part of this is that they have trained themselves to believe he's a genius for a decade plus. Even more is their fear of his scarily effective tactics for marginalizing their opponents. thelastbillionaires.com/musk-got-to-...

A considerable part of why the press won’t scream about this yet is the “toxic normalization” of Elon Musk. He is so powerful that we cannot yet extricate him from our lives, even if we don’t buy his cars or use his website. He was lionized as our Edison da Vinci by the guy who wrote the most popular books on both. Our government has and will do tens of billions of business with him. His upper hand in those relationships and ties to our adversaries, including the president he single-handedly elected, have ensured that anyone who seeks to check him will face brutal consequences.

NEW: Trump says he's letting "lifesaving" foreign aid continue, but sources tell WIRED that DOGE is still blocking HIV/AIDS relief. Musk brags he's "feeding USAID into the wood chipper." A USAID worker tell us: “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV now do." By @knibbs.bsky.social

Elon Musk's DOGE Is Still Blocking HIV/AIDS Relief Exempted From Foreign Aid Cuts

The Trump Administration claims it is allowing "lifesaving" foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives.

Why are news agencies focusing on tariffs??? Surely the undermining of the CDC, USAID, all NSF funding, and the full commitment to Project 2025 is way more important?

This is insane. If your demographic table mentions "gender" instead of "sex", you have to retract the paper (even if already accepted but not yet posted), revise it, & wait for some political appointee to approve it. If your paper is about mpox, and you mention gay men, I guess it won't be approved.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
