Absolutely vile! The President, the Pope, and the entire Western world must condemn this disgraceful decision in the strongest possible terms. Hong Kong no longer exists after this. wapo.st/3L2e3pg
WTF are you doing about this insanity @NYCMayor? Nothing but solidifying your record as the worst NYC Mayor for public health in a generation, of course hellgatenyc.com/how-to-get-a-c…
A despicable post by the new CDC Director. Resign!
Is omicron the best vaccine? Remember, CDC can redefine the word vaccine at will.
I'm sorry but what? Our Health Secretary says that he sees kids at airports and can tell by their faces that they have mitochondrial challenges This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff people This is not normal
With malice toward all, the grossly incompetent, unlicensed, anti-vax conspiracy theorist in charge of public health stands on the side of the virus & against his agency’s own experts. By discharging CDC staff instead of his duties, he has violated his oath & should be impeached.
My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.…
Has anyone else noticed how much worse Google News seems to be lately, sometimes pushing alerts on news that happened days ago as if it's Threads and interspersing stories from 2 hours ago with those from 5 days ago in its app? Apple News has really taken over the category.
.@MartyMakary If kids are unable to get an updated Covid booster this year and get sick because of your reckless and senseless new vaccine policy, we will never, ever forget that the people charged with protecting their health deliberately decided to put them at risk. Shame!
This variant needs to be immediately treated as of concern. It’s apparently figured out how to spread inside its hosts as rate not seen since delta, but also with the immune evasiveness of a BA.2.86 variant. It was only a matter of time with the infectious pressure at play.
A reprehensible decision by RFK Jr & his FDA. This will sicken millions unnecessarily, lead to increased vax skepticism, & likely prevent updated boosters from being available for all this summer as the new XFG subvariant likely becomes dominant reuters.com/business/healt…
Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, top U.S. vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wants “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Here is a Florida legislator conceding that US law does not permit the kind of book banning he wants to do, so he’s trying to pass a new unconstitutional law to ban more books in Florida. Incredible. actionnewsjax.com/news/local/flo…
.@Uber Please add a feature that lets me cancel a ride without a fee whenever I’m paired with a driver in a Tesla.
I never publicly comment on political matters because they are usually irrelevant to my work of providing hurricane data and forecasts to people in my personal capacity. Today though, it is highly relevant, and as a member of the meteorological community, I am angry. Planned or…
Whoa.
Wow: The City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials -- without a hearing. Here's the TRO issuing the prior restraint:
I’ve been tracking and writing about political prediction markets since the Intrade days in the early 2000s. Incredible to see how they’ve taken off with @Kalshi in the last few months after a fed court allowed it to offer election contracts to US traders nytimes.com/2025/01/31/bus…

Kalshi, an Online Prediction Market, Will Open Its Bets to Brokerages
The platform, which recently hired Donald Trump Jr. as an adviser, is seeking to tap Wall Street to expand its potential customer base.
Political prediction market traders @Kalshi now think the race is dead even - only a few days after giving Trump a 64% chance.
Parade of horribles coming to MSG tomorrow. Vote!
🚨 BREAKING: The full list of speakers for Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden, New York rally has been announced. RFK Jr., @ElonMusk, Dana White, Tucker Carlson, @ByronDonalds, @EricTrump, @DonaldJTrumpJr and others.
Great job not endorsing here @washingtonpost I guess it’s now just: Democracy Dies -30-
Trump again threatens "long term prison sentences" for a whole range of people — lawyers, operatives, donors, voters & election officials — he thinks stole the 2020 election Of course, his claims were examined in recounts, audits, court cases + investigations that debunked them
For the first time, political prediction market traders @Kalshi now give Trump a greater than 60% chance of winning the election.
Right - but just to dispel the inevitable impending doom among Dems, Americans have only been able to invest in these election contracts on Kalshi for a little over a week now thanks to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
According to the political trading market @Kalshi, Donald Trump now leads Kamala Harris by 6 percentage points, marking the largest lead ever recorded on the platform kalshi.com/markets/pres/p…
