They have something to hide. We need to find out what it is.

🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.

He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”

Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.

Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.

That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.

So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…

It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.

@DanielleFong It could even happen back in the Obama administration.

Oh wait, it DID!

[Britni Danielle @BritniDWrites]

So Virginia can't use their new map, which was approved by voters. But Alabama can?

But sure, SCOTUS isn't "political"

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@michael_hoerger @CovidCaution Yes. At best, it can help compensate for specific damage, but the deficit will still be there.

But when the damage is generalized, it'd be like borrowing broken parts to replace broken parts.

🚨 THE LIE IS EXPOSED. Republicans are pushing laws across the country to require proof of citizenship to vote, claiming it's to stop "massive noncitizen voting." But US District Judge Samantha Elliott just looked at 26 years of actual data and slaughtered that narrative in a major 98-page ruling.

The actual facts? Noncitizen voting is "essentially nonexistent." Out of 8.3 million ballots, they found exactly eight cases by noncitizens in 26 years. The law wasn't about integrity; it was a voter suppression scheme designed to purge legitimate voters right before the midterms. This ruling changes everything.

It's a five alarm fire! This is exactly what I've been warning people about. Trump is trying to use the postal system to massively disrupt and manipulate voting in the November election.

We have to do everything we can to stop him and I will be fully in the fight.

@DanielleFong With a pro-disease HHS, it tracks.

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

It kind of proves his point!

RETWEET if you support Scott Pelley after CBS News has just fired him.

@1goodtern (And I worked professionally in the brain retraining space for a while, so I'm extra annoyed. Neuroplasticity is a thing, but putting brain training for various stroke-induced deficits in the same bucket as exposure therapy for food aversion is purely nuts.)

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@1goodtern Yeah, all doubt removed. I was genuinely trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, since I can't read the article and don't trust headlines to properly represent articles.

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@DanielleFong If they take care of their Thiel problem, I might consider it. They need to vaccinate their rats, though. OK, I guess that's a bit redundant.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@DanielleFong Kinda the whole point of insurance. And yes, Oz is both an idiot and a grifter.

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@MackayIM That leaves collection and transportation, which I hope aren't bottlenecks. Harder to track…

“Our conclusion: the Iran War is worse than a failure. It's a strategic calamity with no notable achievements and potentially trillions in direct and indirect costs to the US and global economy.”

Every day we’re exposed to an endless stream of podcasts, YouTube videos, interviews, Substacks, and social media claims.

Some are accurate.
Some are misleading.
Many are a mixture of both.

Over the past year I’ve developed a structured approach for converting long-form content into evidence-based educational threads and visual learning tools. The process begins with transcription, progresses through claim extraction and evidence review, and ends with science communication designed to inform rather than persuade.

This 5-card series outlines a framework that researchers, clinicians, educators, and science communicators can adapt for their own work.

The goal isn’t to defend narratives.

The goal is to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

@RageSheen Yup. I’ve been arguing for years that the economic trade offs would drive it with the politics at most having a marginal impact on timing.

Never could figure how the EIA could be so confidently and consistently wrong over decades, but yeah, that was probably status, too.

[Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns @BobKerns]

@LazarusLong13 It is a standard playbook, and not just among politicians. Seems like about 10% of the total discourse these days if we include “BIG PHARMA DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!”
