What’s happening in #Wisconsin is nothing more than an obscene and unconstitutional power grab from a party that doesn’t know how to lose. It cannot stand. https://t.co/GHFycE9Uec

Interested in learning more about the context of our mycobacteriophage study and how the paper came together? Read my "Behind the Paper" blog post! #phage #phagetherapy #mycobacteria #NTM

[Katie Wetzel @kswetzel1]

Excited to share the study I carried out with @IllouzMorgane ! We identified cell surface molecules called TPPs as required for infection by two therapeutically useful phages that infect and kill mycobacteria. #phage #mycobacteria #NTM #phagetherapy

@CarlosdelRio7 @EmoryMedicine Always make eye contact and listen as well as you hear…

I’ve been seeing some posts suggesting doctors and scientists shouldn’t say vaccines don’t cause autism, because, “hey, you could be wrong, and it’s arrogant, and even unscientific to suggest otherwise.” Here’s why this reflects a misunderstanding of the scientific process… 🧵

Olympian sprinter Tori Bowie was in labor when she died. Her death is another example of America’s maternal death crisis. https://t.co/CUUekNki68

As I said last year…
If you’re starting with the premise that Donald Trump is a completely innocent, billionaire, ex-President then you have to ask yourself, where are all the lawyers?

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

@LindseyGrahamSC They believe that without evidence because people like you have lied shamelessly to gain power.

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ This is correct: he cannot. The Department of Justice is independent of the president, but to make absolutely clear the investigation of Trump would operate without interference, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel from outside. That’s Jack Smith.

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

As the right wing floods the media with wild allegations, remember that there is a world of difference between words spoken for an audience and words spoken under oath. The two cannot be compared, although right wingers are desperately trying to blur the distinction.

@AshleyGWinter Can’t tell you how often I recommend vaginal estrogen to women thanks to you! They are relaying this info to their PCPs and finally getting the treatment needed!

This. Spread this far and wide.

Wow.

THIS JUST IN from the Veterans Administration: Analysis of what the Republicans' proposed 22% cut would mean for US Veterans.

Please read & share. McCarthy budget ramifications:

▪️ 30 million fewer Veteran outpatient visits

▪️ 81,000 jobs lost across the Veterans Health Administration

▪️ Massive cuts to telehealth services, which are crucial for vets living in rural areas

▪️ Increase the disability claims backlog by an estimated 134,000 claims, forcing Veterans and their surviving loved ones to wait longer for the benefits they have earned

▪️ Cut up to $565 million for critical clinical upgrades to hospitals and clinics

▪️ Eliminate funding for Housing Choice Vouchers for as many as 50,000 Veterans, putting them at greater risk of homelessness

This is actually the GOP platform:
"Thanks for your service, now f*ck off."

I’d like to see Dominion’s lawyer give his opening statement in a recorded video and post it online, so the American people are able to see what the evidence against Fox would have been.

.@benwikler on Wisconsin Supreme Court race: "This is going to really define the future of democracy, and abortion access, and politics in Wisconsin, which, as you know, is the tipping point state for the entire country. This could not be a more significant fight."

@WNYT Well done Jonathan and @Radar_Reid !

[Carlos del Rio @CarlosdelRio7]

I am quite surprised that this ruling affecting coverage for USPSTF recommendations on preventative care is not front page news. This is huge and the implications can be horrible for health. ⁦@SherylNYT⁩ ⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/DBjEo8yYaq
