We have network biocontainment units in the US that were built and refined with dedicated expertise since 2014 yet somehow we think it’s a good idea to build a facility in 7 days in Kenya with minimally trained staff as an alternative to this

This is a disaster in the making and waste of resources which could have been used to help contain the response.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix.

Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection.

They knew how to treat her. There was one issue…🧵

What's going on with measles?

There were more measles cases in a single week in January 2026 than all but 5 yearly totals over the past two decades.

“You look at your son, the glasses you picked out with him, the haircut he chose from the wall at the barber shop, the beating heart you gave him. And you know that you, too, will never recover.” Elizabeth Bruenig maps how a child dies of measles: https://t.co/TJKM5yBIdU

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

You thought your unvaccinated daughter had a cold. It could be a week before she's diagnosed with measles. By then, the virus “has multiplied and descended upon her lungs, kidneys, tonsils, and spleen, down to the marrow of her bones.” Elizabeth Bruenig writes about how a child dies of measles: https://t.co/J9Rhml93As

Our Constitution places the gravest decisions about the use of military force in the hands of Congress for a reason. Using military force to enact regime change demands the closest scrutiny, precisely because the consequences do not end with the initial strike. (1/5)

@MichaelGIsonMD You are missed!

Trump and JD have cut OVER $1 TRILLION in mental health funding including:
- $1 trillion in Medicaid, the nation’s primary funder of mental health services
- $1 billion from school mental health programs
- $1.1 billion from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
- $1.81 billion in National Institutes of Health mental health-related grants

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade.

We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump administration.

History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans. https://t.co/FZEBm4nOQz

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Americans need to understand what’s happening tonight at the CDC.

This was an agency held together over the last 7 months by scientists with decades of experience in public health, who hung on despite a relentless assault on science-based policy by RFK and Trump.

There is a purge underway tonight because those professionals have refused to roll over as RFK ramps up his war on the covid vaccine.

We are entering uncharted territory. The foundations of public health in the country are cracking.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official.

It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
