- Insurance companies would do well to read the room. Vaccines in many ways *are* insurance.
- RFK Jr. brought a disgraced anti-vaxxer, William Archer, to help lead HHS. Now Archer is reportedly preparing to roll back recommendations for several vaccines, a move that could limit insurance coverage and access to the shots. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

- Reposted by epbwrisciLet’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
- This is a disturbing post, but the math is bound to add up. I dare say it will also add up if you take the assessment global and include civilian casualties from American wars that followed 9/11. The inane perspectives and policies are that dangerous.

- Biden queued up and initiated investments to the tune of $5B to fix this. Guess who derailed them.
- Reposted by epbwrisciAll I’m saying is if I worked for a letter agency and was told a foreign company just wanted to give us a free air force one I would demand that plane be stripped down to bare aluminum before taking delivery

- Reposted by epbwrisciThe cost of the 4 F-18 planes lost in the Red Sea ($240 million) is now greater than the 2025 NEH Budget ($200 million)
- I think it fair to say that Paul Dana’s editorial (“By Invitation”) in The Economist is a steaming pile of horseshit. This bastard clearly despises the core function of government of, by, and for the people as a shield against the hellscape capitalism has repeatedly attempted. Total horseshit.

- Reposted by epbwrisciExcellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...
- Reposted by epbwrisci🧵Ok, I rag on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, for his impeachable conduct on deportations and abandonment of all his prior views. But today he's the one "constantly on the phone" and paying attention to the India-Pakistan crisis. Should we be reassured? Absolutely not. 1/

- Reposted by epbwrisciNSF-supported Unidata announced that almost their entire staff will be furloughed as of today. This is a huge threat to weather education and research at universities--Unidata provides crucial realtime data feeds of weather data, including satellite, radar, and observations.
- This is a seismic gut punch to the weather enterprise. It is impossible to overstate how important @unidata.bsky.social is in implementing many datasets/libraries (LDM, netCDF, THREDDS, metPy) we currently use in meteorological research & operations. www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/e...

- Reposted by epbwrisciWhen Pope John Paul II was elevated in 1978, he came from behind the Iron Curtain and worked to undercut the Soviet Union. He was the first Polish pope. Hard not to see the possible parallels (although Leo has only been Pope for a couple of hours yet!) in the elevation of an American today.
- Spot on, and too kind by a long way, I'd say.
