Ukraine has added a new way to conduct war. Save the troops and blow up everything that isn’t Ukraine with drones and rocket’s. World War 3 could be done without guns & bullet’s, just fly a drone up your enemy’s nose and save life and money in the process. Bravo Ukraine !!!!!!!!!!

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

"But because its work has been obscured by crude accounting and White House maneuvers, it’s impossible to know how much DOGE and its allies actually did cut from the budget — or even what happened to that money."

Seems like we can have a democracy or we can have DOGE, but not both.

Not Even Congress Knows How Much Money DOGE Cut

The sickness of this regime accusing anyone of antisemitism while shoveling billions to ELON MUSK, the greatest popularizer of Nazism since Hitler, is a failure of sense, dignity and everything that should make us human.

X is doing nothing about antisemitic abuse & hatred in the last week. (It is a breach of its legal duties to fail to offer an equal service to those with a protected characteristic, if the regulators want to do their job of keeping it within the law)

Remember when Trump's solution to the Covid pandemic was to suggest we stop testing? Same thing here. No news is good news. We won't even know about the next pandemic, until some other nation tells us.

My spouse pulled data from the CDC’s MMWR team on a weekly basis for her company to include with public health reports. That entire team has just been RIFed by Trump.

No more public health reports.

astounding and shameful

the thing about science and medicine is that there aren’t “Democratic” and “Republican” alternatives to choose from

there’s what we know, what we don’t, and how best to discover unknown truths and use them to improve human health

it’s very hard but also very simple

Jeremy Faust, MD @jeremyfaust.bsky.social · 14h

The usual justification—that cuts were a “course correction”—wasn’t even attempted this time.

“This is clearly a political move to pressure Democrats,” one current CDC official told Inside Medicine. “Many who were RIF’d were working on emergencies.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
