Stephen Miller is of Jewish descent, yet he pushes the same “they won't assimilate” argument used by antisemites for millennia. Stephen Miller is a racist monster, and so is his boss.

Medical scientists need to get in the political arena and fight against Trump and RFK jr. Otherwise, they get what they deserve, and ALL OF US pay the price.
Scientists must learn to join larger pro-democracy and people's movements, coalitions. Our science training may not have prepared us for such work, but we can no longer sit in the safety of our labs and expect the world to get better

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

#OnThisDay in 1883, abolitionist and women’s rights advocate Sojourner Truth died in Battle Creek MI. Freed from slavery, she wandered the country, calling for an end to the institution. A statue of her can be found in Battle Creek.

When Trump insults women’s looks, don't buy into it by assessing the women's looks. After Trump called a reporter “Piggy,” some folks posted her photo. DON’T! Who cares what she looks like? Today, Trump called another reporter “ugly.” The issue isn't her. It's the ugliness in Trump's broken brain.

How long will it take to fix the hallmarks of American democracy that Trump has broken?
I thought there was an Emoluments Clause? I thought the person in the WH wasn't supposed to make money on the position. WTF. We are lawless.

Bill Cassidy has zero control over RFK Jr., and even if he did, he lacks the will to use it.

Cassidy is not going to do a damned thing to address the catastrophe he caused.

He’s up for reelection, after all, so he has to toe the line.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Congratulations, Department of Education. You’ve officially outdone yourself. In a move so absurd it almost feels like satire, the DOE has decided that nursing is no longer a “professional degree.”
Department of Education says nursing is no longer a professional degree
The education department no longer considers nursing as a professional degree program, which can weaken funding for students wanting to enter the health care field.

Bill Cassidy, a physician and chair of the Senate HHS oversight Committee, has
let this happen. Shame on him! He absolutely knows better but cares more about getting reelected than about his actual responsibilities and the public’s health.
A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.

Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.

This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.
