TW: Jon Stewart recently joked about hantavirus coverage and said: “this virus can cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, mostly amongst the experts who have to repeatedly answer the same questions.”

Congratulations to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social on her new role Minister for Public Health and Prevention. Sharon has been a strong supporter of people with ME/CFS and has spoken in a number of parliamentary debates. Here are some highlights from a debate in 2019.

6 years since the first UK lockdown. #LongCovid hasn’t gone away. ONS estimates from 2024 suggest ~2 million people in England & Scotland. Every infection carries a ~1 in 50 chance of developing long Covid that could last anything from four weeks to being effectively permanent.

Clip 3 BBC Politics North: Luke Akehurst MP says it’s “shocking” that #LongCovid services are being closed when ~2 million people live with the condition and about half consider themselves disabled. Covid is “not yesterday’s problem”, it is still causing events to be cancelled.

“Waking up, it’s like you’ve been hit by a truck. Everything’s shaking, vibrating internally. My brain feels inflamed, it’s like you’ve got a concussion.” Rhi has had #MEcfs for over 20 years.

“She actually asked me a couple of times, you know, am I going to die? She felt so unwell.” Isla is 10 and developed #MECFS after a COVID infection. She is 95% housebound and just wants to “have fun and do things with her friends”. From BBC Lifeline: Action for ME

Channel 4 coverage of the new £4.75M UK government funding for SequenceME. “For decades, many people with ME have been told it is in their heads… But now, a new project will look for the answer in our very DNA, with the world’s first genomic study into ME.” #MECFS

With Suzanne O’Sullivan claiming a ‘large proportion’ of #LongCOVID is psychosomatic on the Amol Rajan podcast, I’m resharing this clip from 2021 of Dr Xand van Tulleken on BBC Morning Live “You can always find some doctor, some professor to give a quote to a paper saying it’s all psychosomatic…”

BBC Morning Live covered the new £4.75m UK government funded #MEcfs genetics study yesterday, which will sequence 6,000 DNA samples as part of the wider DecodeME project. Unfortunately, Dr Oscar Duke said Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is “probably the best way to describe” the illness.

Clip from yesterday’s BBC South report about the #MECFS Alliance event on the future of #MECFS and #LongCOVID research. Sam, an ME patient, says the government failing to fund further research after the success of DecodeME is “absolutely disgraceful”.

According to a leaked memo, the DOJ is charging the IRS with going after the funders of nonprofit organizations. The news is no surprise, says @GRITLaura.bsky.social. Stay until the end of this week’s show for her commentary, and look out for the extended version on Substack: bit.ly/3MzgDDN

Spiritual spaces are having an important conversation right now. Some people focus only on inner work and vibration. Others focus entirely on engaging with the world. But these paths were never meant to be separate. Spiritual practice… #SpiritualAwakening #ConsciousHumanity #CollectiveConsciousness

A leaked video from 2001 shows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu talking about how Israel intentionally strikes Palestinians “painfully”, how he deceived the US to break the Oslo Accords, and how Americans will always support Israel if it faces backlash.

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

In a powerful address to President von der Leyen, Valérie Hayer, leader of the European Parliament party Renew Europe, urged decisive action: a more united, sovereign, federal Europe capable of protecting its citizens. She stressed that only an institutional “big bang” can meet today’s challenges.

Heat kills, and it’s time the Albanese government did something about it. After record heat scorched Vic today, I’m kicking off a campaign to name heatwaves & save lives. While we’re at it, perhaps we should name deadly heat after those making the biggest contribution. Heatwave Woodside, anyone?

We need term limits not just for the Supreme Court, but for Congress. No one should serve for a lifetime or even decades. If we actually want a government that represents the will of the people and responds to today’s challenges, we need new leadership, and that means term limits.
