Reporting this story in Cameroon, I met people who were blind because larval worms died in their eyeballs: NTDs cause immense suffering and disability.
But they're preventable! And treatable! And eliminatable!
U.S. tax dollars backed the effort to wipe out neglected tropical diseases for 20 yrs. Many countries eliminated 1 disease, and were tantalizingly close on others. Then the U.S. walked away – jeopardizing all that investment, with diseases poised to come roaring back www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/h...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

That rage you feel is sacred. Honor it.

We’re in the fight of our lives and honestly we have been for some time now.

Don’t allow yourself to go numb. Don’t look away. None of this shit is normal.

But the biggest indication is the way the ICE thugs react after the shots. They don't try to arrest him or secure the gun, they either back away or run away. They immediately knew it was a crime and tried to distance themselves.

They are NOT complying. They are legally required to release all of the documents.
The DOJ plans to release a trove of documents Friday connected to Jeffrey Epstein, complying with federal legislation that ordered officials to make public a collection of records long sought by his victims.
Justice Department plans release of huge trove of Epstein files today
The documents’ release would mark the culmination of a bipartisan push to force Trump and his administration to disclose more materials related to Epstein.

Agree and will add that today’s “fighting didn’t work and I hope the GOP will negotiate with us on healthcare” press junket is messaging malpractice. All they had to say today was “we had to stop fighting BECAUSE they wouldn’t negotiate on healthcare and people were suffering real concrete harm”
There was always going to be an agreement & we were unlikely to get a lot. I think though it should have gone in to Dec if necessary, when most people would be making their decisions on open enrollment. Repubs still may have said no, but I think it would have made it clearer Repubs were to blame.

KFF finds partisan split on Tylenol

Most Republicans (56%) say they think it’s definitely or probably true that taking Tylenol during pregnancy increases the risk of kids with autism.

Most Dems (86%) say it’s definitely or probably false.

Multiple medical associations have said there’s no link.

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s
