After I got laid off before the holidays last year, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever work in journalism again. I was so shocked and thrilled when @ddayen.bsky.social called with an offer that I yelled REALLY?! into the phone and scared the cat. I was so psyched. I'm still psyched!

Cully Stimson is one of the few people who *didn’t* resign from the Heritage Foundation today. He now heads up their legal division.
In 2007, Stimson had to resign from the Pentagon after threatening law firms with retaliation for representing Gitmo prisoners pro bono.
How quaint!

The amazing part of this story is that Trump's aides can't get him to stop bragging that he passed a test for dementia. They obviously are scared of him, which is very scary. We also don't know Trump actually passed, since he lies about everything.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses
“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”
