Really? Wtf?
Explain this to me. @CNN (which I watch+love) & @MSNBC (which I watch+ love, except Chuck Todd) regularly aired Trump/Task Force press conferences KNOWING they perpetuated lies & misinformation. But they are not airing Jen Psaki's which are filled with FACTS and CRITICAL INFO.
This is the best quick summary I’ve seen. Nicely done.
Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.
Good dog!

Marsha Blackburn sent two armed US Marshals to my home in Nashville to subpoena me to Congress for the fetal tissue research that Trump ended up using to save himself from the coronavirus while nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court so that she can ban it permanently.

Consider what it means that the White House actively blocked mask distribution in our country. Our worst-in-the-world death toll is a consequence of active interference, not just plain incompetence. This president will not keep us safe.

It's hard to get a sense of scale in the Mars images from NASA's Curiosity rover, so @_TheSeaning added an astronaut into the scenes.

How New Mexico got #COVID19 under control. Testing, protection strategies, acting quickly, clear public health instructions. @cragcrest explains how this led to lower infection rates and deaths than other states in @sciam today.
New Mexico went after COVID-19 with widespread testing and science-based targets. Now it is in better shape than its neighbors bit.ly/3moJEAs

Pres. Trump says COVID-19 will go away even without a vaccine in part because of ... “herd mentality.”

Gilbert Levin has been making the case for 44 years that living organisms exist on Mars today, and the evidence only continues to get stronger. A nice summary here by Leonard David. leonarddavid.com/the-case-fo…
Last night was the fourth time I’ve managed to see comet NEOWISE, but the first time I managed to get a decent shot of it. It’s faint, but lovely, and should stay visible for a few more days at least.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest means today is a very bad day for Trump. Retweet to make it worse. #HoldTrumpAccountable.

This Russian-bounty story is as huge a presidential scandal as there can be. It’s an order of magnitude more outrageous than what he got impeached for, even though the Ukraine scandal was plainly criminal from the beginning. And it’s clearly not going away.

A 10,000-year old archeological site in Massachusetts, only partially excavated, is about to be bulldozed to create an unneeded traffic rotary. Details, and a petition to stop it, are here: skibiski.com/
This is what racism looks like in 2020. John Roberts built this; w/Alito, Kennedy & Thomas. This is not the system failing. This is the system working as it's intended to. #JUNETEENTH2020 #BlackLivesMatter
