He will never be able to erase history. We will never be able to erase him either. He will be dead and gone soon. We will put everything that he did back to where it was. And we will write about him as being a deranged man who made the presidency twice. They will study why Americans believed in him.

Truth by @justinglawe.bsky.social in PN:

"Trump and Republicans are lying. Lie after desperate, confusing, and impossible lie, all aimed at an impossible goal: erasing history and the many deep and troubling ties between Epstein and Trump."

An excellent article that has no paywall. Really explains how much Trump has screwed himself over Epstein.

Telling people “prices are going down” while they’re in the checkout line is like telling someone on a treadmill they’re sitting on a couch. Their legs know you’re lying.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

The public does not know this. They don't realize how the budget at their beloved 🏈/🏀 State U works, or that their kids won't be able to take courses/labs they need there anymore, bc they won't exist without federal $ & foreign graduate students.

Maybe someone should speak up about this stuff? 🤷‍♂️🧐

No one wants to hear this message. Not our university leaders. Not the media (I & colleagues have tried & failed repeatedly). Everyone just wants to pretend doing the definition of insanity is going to work this time. Sleepwalking into epic disaster.

There. Is. No. Plan.

But the only way to communicate to voters, parents, students, etc. that there is no plan for cutting 20-25% of every R1 university's budget is for our university leaders to be out, loudly & collectively talking about this. The silence is maddening.

Just pointing out how grim the funding situation is. If an institution fights you have no idea where future grants are coming from. Harvard won in court and is still telling researchers to cut everything 20% because they don’t know what happens next. Somehow everybody has to make it to Jan 2029
Yes I agree with this. The problem for grant-dependent researchers is that even if they win in court to get their illegally withheld funds, they’re sure to be denied any new grants by these corrupted agencies. 2026-2028 will be a killing field as institutions hemorrhage their research apparatus

I mean really. Each and everyone of the Trump appointees is a joke. No reputable scientist or clinician would spread such drivel.
While Makary spreads bullshit about the origin of HIV.

(To be clear, this has been thoroughly investigated and fits neither the timing nor the molecular epidemiology of HIV).

Let me be clear about something. When career CDC scientists are presenting at ACIP, their data are solid.

When guest presenters or members of ACIP in its current form are speaking, you should view it with extreme skepticism.

Although he has no knowledge, training or experience in public health, he also alleged that people should listen to him because he's a father of six.

This is who is in charge of “vaccine safety”.

Paraphrasing a bit, Levi said at the last ACIP meeting that “people can go to see a doctor at urgent care when they are sick if they don’t have a doctor. So they can just go there to get a prescription”.

Sure sure sure. I wonder what the repercussions of that would be?

ACIP member Retsef Levi has already made a number of egregiously incorrect statements that suggest a lack of foundational public health knowledge.

He couldn’t understand why it would be a problem to get prescriptions for COVID19 vaccines.

My guess is he will lead the anti-vax propaganda at ACIP.

This is one advantage of having the historical memory of authoritarianism, as I have from Brazil: you know that, when the regime is gone, the people who collaborated and acquiesced look terrible in retrospect. It may look reasonable and justifiable now, but believe me, it will age like milk.
