The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.
You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Yeah, I am thinking we needed that aviation safety committee...heartbreaking.
With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

Great analysis from @bellingcat.com on the crater we've seen appearing in UGC following the blast at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza.
There's still more we don't know about what happened but a clearer picture is starting to form that doesn't seem to involve larger ordinance used in airstrikes.

As speculation continues around the attack on Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza, Bellingcat researchers have been analysing footage from the explosion. We’ve identified a possible impact site, a crater visible from several angles. www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10...

My 12-year-old read my book. Asked if we've made any good progress on drug-resistant TB since I wrote it. Pointed out my antibacterial resistance prediction was too grim. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

Since reading about Prigozhin's death, I can't stop thinking about this: a mortar shell and plastic explosives, attached to a teddy bear. Left under a table in a family home in Libya, by Wagner mercenaries. Who likely hoped a child would find it.
So if Prigozhin is really dead, I hope he suffered.
