#CDC learned of 2 more pediatric #flu deaths in the 2025-26 season last week, bringing the season-to-date total to 174 peds deaths. This number will continue to rise; reports are often delayed; eg. these kids died in late Jan & late Feb. CDC estimates 85% of these kids weren't fully vaxed for flu.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Hard day today Here's what we think about trusting CDC
Today we woke up to our public health allies telling the public that they can't trust CDC anymore
More than a little demoralizing
Because it's complicated
The actual scientists at CDC - the ones you should trust - are not in control of public-facing webpages
The conspiracy theorists are running the messaging
And yet, most of us scientists... are still doing good science
It's just not making it out

We're still supporting local health departments 
We're still running our disease surveillance systems
We're still on call for emergencies 24/7
Despite intense staffing shortages from multiple waves of RIFs
And chronically being under-resourced
Those of us left are still working hard to keep everything going
We are proud of our mission
And we persist, goddammit

Yet
We can also say... read the CDC webpages with skepticism
Don't treat them as the gold standard. Corroborate the information with other trusted, independent sources.
Many are still fine, but even we don't know when the political appointees are going to change their content
And this is a painful thing for us to say
So we just ask that, if you read or say "Don't trust the CDC!"
You remember that we're here still trying to serve the nation, throw sand in the gears, and weather the storm

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.
MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Whether this girl was a citizen, a legal resident, or undocumented is irrelevant. 

Whether she was perfectly law abiding or accused of a crime is irrelevant. 

A grown man kneeling on the neck of a 15 year old girl (one who also wasn’t resisting) is beyond the pale-an act indefensible under any circumstance.
