Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

“You blame chronic disease, and yet you are not putting solutions on the table to expand coverage to all Americans.” Cantwell asking about the ACA, too. Tells RFK that the Northwest will continue leading where the US is failing.

Cantwell to RFK, Jr.: you are a charlatan.

Cassidy is playing an interesting game in his questioning of RFK Jr. He asked RFk if Trump deserves a Nobel prize for operation warp speed. And then asked RFK why he also thinks Covid vaccines kill people.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

I have been so fortunate to have a fellowship from the Library of Congress and I continue to use their collections. I am devastated by the catastrophic cuts to the institution that is home to so much of our history and memory.

I could not have written my most recent book without the resources made possible by the National Digital Newspaper Program. More information and ideas for action in the thread.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Benjamin Franklin produced the very first chart of the Gulf Stream and then two more charts of it—here’s the final one, of 1786, showing Dr. Franklin in the lower right-hand corner, lecturing poor old Neptune, behind whom is the source of the Gulf Stream: the Gulf of Mexico

The last report for the state university system in Missouri showed $6.5 billion in economic impacts and 69,000 jobs. Trump and Musk are threatening that success. That is the message that needs to be shared in every state.

If they succeed in this, a lot of Americans are about to realize how much these Lutheran programs do.
