Lots of attention being payed by CNN to two elections in the U.S. The Republicans (you might as well call the party MAGA) won a congressional seat in Florida. CNN is projecting a win for the seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
It is a position that is ideally though to be non-partisan, but the contenders in this race are being identified as conservative and the other, liberal, such is the hardened ideological line in politics today.
It is no less so in the current Canadian election. Poilievre is in free fall trying to distance himself from the most unpopular man looming in the Canadian consciousness.

@SecKennedy tweeted: "The revolution begins today!"

x.com/SecKennedy/staโ€ฆ A screenshot of a Twitter post that reads: "Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy Welcome @US_FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary and @NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. Letโ€™s restore @HHSgov health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science to tackle the chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again. The revolution begins today! 0:35 / 1:21 10:40 AM ยท Apr 1, 2025 ยท 900K Views"
In his first email to staff, @DrJBhattacharya acknowledged "time of tremendous change"

"I will do my best to lead @NIH through these reforms, implement new policies humanely, and endeavor to earn your trust."

tinalexander.github.io/notes/2025/03#โ€ฆA screenshot of text that reads in part: "I recognize that I am joining NIH at a time of tremendous change. Every inch of the federal government is under scrutinyโ€”and NIH is not exempt. As a result of the Department of Health and Human Servicesโ€™ streamlining effort and upcoming reorganization, NIH experienced a significant reduction in its workforce. Many of our valued colleagues are losing their jobs, which is in no way a reflection of the quality of their work. I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who will be affected for all you have contributed to the mission of NIH. The...

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Measles isn't just back. It's moving. FAST.
A confirmed case in a fully vaccinated Texas school staffer.
470+ cases in TX & NM.
Hereโ€™s how itโ€™s spreadingโ€”and when it could reach YOUR district. โฌ‡๏ธ
1๏ธโƒฃ This isnโ€™t an outbreak anymore. Itโ€™s a regional surge.
470+ confirmed cases.
At least one pediatric death.
School infections, ER strain, vitamin A overdoses.
No emergency declaration.
The system is downplaying it.
2๏ธโƒฃ March was Texas & New Mexico. April is the Midwest.
Hereโ€™s the likely path measles takes via schools, Amtrak, and highways:
โžก๏ธ TX/NM โ†’ OK/KS/CO (early April)
โžก๏ธ IA/NE/MO โ†’ IL/WI (mid-April)
โžก๏ธ MN by late April/early May

3๏ธโƒฃ Why itโ€™s moving so fast:
Measles spreads before symptoms show
Airborne. Lingers 2+ hrs after someone leaves a room

1 infected = 12โ€“18 new infections

Some vaccinated adults can get it with enough exposure

This is anti-science and harmful. Here's why:

1. N95s fail in clinical trials to meaningfully reduce respiratory viral infections.
2. N95's seal is easily broken. They are not effective over long periods.
3. According to CDC, N95s are harmful if worn over long periods.

๐Ÿงต1/5
From Cochrane Collaboration, the world's most respected authority on systematic reviews and meta-analyses:

No benefit of surgical masks vs no masks, and no benefit of N95s vs surgical masks in any population studied in clinical trials

Ref

2025 study

"Following 2 h of use, approximately 30% of participants failed repeat fit testing, suggesting incomplete respiratory protection."

After using the N95s for a while, they start leaking.

That's why there is no benefit to N95s over long periods of time.

1/5 - Here is the location of the killings on top of the "evacuation" order Israel issued the morning they were killed.

The "evacuation" order was posted ~2 hours after the murders.

Geolocation by the talented @AbuLocation (not affiliated), map from our own @gazamaps. Image
2/5 - This leaflet (human translated by ) was dropped in the middle of the night, and is -- to our knowledge -- the only "evacuation" order issued before the killings, which began at dawn.

It is spectacularly unlikely any of the rescue workers saw it. IDFLeaflets.comUrgent warning! To all of those who are in the Tal Sultan area, the Israeli Defense Forces started an attack to destroy terrorist organizations, you are in a dangerous combat zone. Gush Katif street is considered a humanitarian corridor available for you to move to the Al Mawasi zone. We warn you that moving in cars is prohibited. You remaining in undesignated shelters, tents and houses or moving through other undesignated streets will endanger your familiesโ€™ lives and yours. Vacate the premises now The Israeli Defense Forces

๐ŸšจBREAKING: District court granted State of Maryland (and others) preliminary injunction ordering reinstatement of fired probationary employees. Trump Administration had sought stay of TRO but 4th Cir. denied given ruling on PI was imminent. 1/
3/3 Watch for Trump to appeal to 4th and seek immediate stay and also alert SCOTUS to holding (this was a LIMITED injunction, not nationwide), to decision & possibly seek to consolidate with application filed in case out of 9th Cir.
