Hospitalizations due to COVID have decreased from 38 to 21 in the last update. Influenza hospitalizations decreased from 51 to 44 and RSV decreased from 20 to 18 so moving in the right direction but still not finished for the season yet. 1/
Looking at age groups, those age 75+ had the highest rates of hospitalization due to COVID but decreased since last update. Tied for second place are the 0-4 and 65-74 age groups. 2/
COVID case rates decreased across most age groups this past update except for age <1 which had a significant increase and almost matching the same levels as age 80+. The 1-4 and 60-79 age groups currently have the same rates. 3/

How I was duped into destroying my own X account.
This is embarrassing, but I’m sharing it as a warning. I had a fast-growing 5.5k follower account (many mutuals with 20k–1M followers). Tens of new followers daily as unverified. Then it was completely wiped in a second.
2/6 DM from a mutual: “Crow” (bio mentioned bipolar). He claimed he accidentally reported me and that I needed to contact last name “Diaz” (a woman, don’t remember first name) for a quick “investigation” to save it. We moved to Zoom chat. They told me to change my account email.
3/6 I did it instantly — and realized 5 seconds later I’d been scammed. Changing the email hands them full control (forgot password = they own it). Then “she” demanded screen share + bank balance proof. I refused. She said “I’m closing your account”… and it vanished.
Reminder: the SPLC raises money by claiming it exists to "dismantle white supremacy," but DOJ says the SPLC was actually propping up the hate it told donors it aimed to destroy. SPLC paid "field sources," whom SPLC says were merely informants.
🧵2/20
Yet the field sources used the SPLC's $ to:
1⃣Attend extremist rallies
2⃣Host rallies
3⃣Grow existing chapters
4⃣Create new chapters
5⃣Recruit individuals
6⃣Donate to extremist leaders
7⃣Purchase cross-burning material
8⃣Create racist paraphernalia
9⃣Pay living expenses
1/ The whistleblower sends you the documents at 2 AM.
Government contracts. Kickbacks. Fraud. Proof of corruption that could bring down officials in three states.
You are an investigative journalist. This is the story you have been chasing for eight months. You finally have the evidence.
But the whistleblower will not go on the record. They will lose their job. Their pension. Possibly face retaliation. They will only provide the documents if you protect their identity.
You promise anonymity. You always have. That is how journalism works. That is how truth gets exposed.
But the Online Child Safety Act just passed. And everything just changed...
2/ The law requires age verification for all social media platforms.
It's sold to us for the purpose of "Protecting children from online predators."
Every account now requires government-issued ID verification. Full legal name. Date of birth. Biometric scan.
No more anonymous accounts. No more pseudonyms. Every post. Every message. Every interaction tied to your legal identity.
The politicians said this was about protecting kids. But journalism does not happen without the ability to communicate anonymously.
3/ Your whistleblower tries to send a follow-up message. Every platform asks for ID verification. They stop.
You reach out to other officials for a second source. Standard journalism practice. Nobody responds. Nobody will talk. Because every communication platform now logs their legal identity.
Talking to a journalist is now a permanent record tied to their government ID. Their employer can see it. Investigators can access it.
There is no off-the-record anymore. Your source goes silent. The story dies.
We've all seen how 60 Minutes interviews Trump. They go to war with him on every statement.
Scott Pelley has interviewed Biden numerous times. They are always softball interviews but his 2022 interview with Biden was particularly pathetic. Inflation was just off of a 40 year high. Pelley did ask him one question it about inflation in the beginning and then moved on to the fun stuff.
No questions about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan the year before. No questions about the fact that the border was wide open and had been for two years.
Here's some clips from that pathetic interview.
1/7: Biden claims to have reduced the debt. No correction or follow-up from Pelley.
2/7: Biden declares that even though Covid is still a problem, the pandemic is over. No follow-up questions from Pelley about it. Think they would ask Trump for the science to back up his claim?
3/7: Listen to how Pelley words the question about the high price of gas.
📊PESQUISA ATLAS - FACÇÕES CLASSIFICADAS COMO TERRORISTAS
1⃣ Uma maioria de 53% dos brasileiros aprova a decisão dos EUA de classificar facções como PCC e CV como organizações terroristas. Por outro lado, quase 45% desaprovam a decisão americana.
2⃣Risco à soberania ou combate efetivo
48% veem a decisão dos EUA como um risco à soberania nacional, enquanto 45% veem a medida como necessária para um combate ao crime mais efetivo. Já 7% acreditam que a medida é simbólica e não terá impacto na segurança pública no Brasil.
3⃣ Agressão à soberania
Quando perguntados sobre se a medida representa uma agressão à soberania brasileira, os brasileiros estão igualmente divididos: metade não considera uma agressão à soberania, enquanto outra metade sim.
🧵 THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa?
He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media.
The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations:
"They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law."
That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" — while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department.
And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath.
I have the receipts.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Shashank Joshi has been in DC for two months, and is already lecturing our military officials on what their oaths mean… even though his entire record is criticizing the US military.
He's an Indian national. Cambridge. Enrolled in a Harvard PhD program... but his public profiles list no doctorate, suggesting he dropped out. Senior Research Fellow at RUSI, the world's oldest defence think tank. Then a stint at the Tony Blair Institute. The Economist hired him as Defence Editor in 2018. Promoted to Washington Bureau Chief, April 2026.

1/ My father had stage 4 esophagus cancer in late 2025.
At our first hospital visit, doctors mainly discussed surgery.
He became so disturbed that he walked out midway. Mentally he simply could not accept major surgery.
We thought there were no other options.
2/ While desperately searching online — including using AI tools and reading patient experiences — we discovered something we had never heard about before:
Advanced proton-based radiation and non-surgical chemo-radiation approaches.
That discovery changed everything for us.
3/ We later visited a proton treatment hospital and learned that some esophagus cancer patients may still have non-surgical treatment options using advanced radiation + chemotherapy + immunotherapy.
For the first time after diagnosis… we felt hope again.
@ColdblodedChrit Yet, We All know, for certain, that “it” means EVERYTHING that GOD has already appointed, particularly the well DEFINED Genesis 10:1-3 set who “Say (( (they) )) are Jews and Are Not”.

@hannahspierMD @dysclinic 1/Ok, perhaps your comment wasn’t as deliberately offensive as it appeared.
I think what you need to understand is that patients with ME/CFS, Long Covid & other PAIS are severely organically and physically unwell. This has been proven in science irrevocably. In the same way we
