Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."
A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

Having Samuel L Jackson narrate as Uncle Sam was pure genius. I just absolutely love intelligent storytellers and that is exactly what Kendrick is.

As a writer, I find Ayn Rand's career fascinating because that woman is literally the human version of the law of diminishing returns, every single thing she wrote was worse than the previous thing she wrote, it's extraordinary

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base.

Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters.

“I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said.
