Probably one of my favorite stories from the Bible is when Jesus told his disciples they were all going to die because he was giving tax cuts to the rich instead of caring for the sick & the poor and when they got upset, he went to a graveyard and filmed a weirdly condescending video mocking them.

The private sector will not fill the gaps. The size of the cuts is too big, and the incentives does not align to do basic research or train the next generation of PhD students. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

Labeling research activities and findings ā€œscientific misconductā€ if the outcomes (or even research objectives) don’t align with this scientifically-illiterate administration poses a serious threat to the free exchange of evidence which has been the hallmark of scientific advances for centuries.

Genuinely glad Russell Vought’s daughter got the NIH-backed medicine she needed. ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ Now he’s trying to defund the very programs that made it possible—for everyone else. šŸ™ƒšŸ’‰ Life-saving science for me, austerity for thee. Cool plan, Volde-Vought.

If we’re going to teach *hate-filled Jesus* in public schools, then we should demand these lessons from the pulpit, along with some basic evolutionary biology and genetics. Maybe then they’ll stop holding signs reading ā€œmy body is mRNA free.ā€

This is yet another example of how this admin. is eroding legitimacy of public health agencies & endangering public health worldwide. Discredited & unverifiable reports are posted prominently on CDC, FDA, NIH sites to *legitimize* conspiracies. NIH features a discredited report on roundly fluoride.

Mr. Trump, in a matter of minutes, either: 1. Claim credit for kicking ā€œillegal aliensā€ off *welfare*, 2. Call the report *fake news*, 3. Once again, claim the CBO is a *radical leftwing socialist* org, 4. All of the above

NEW: someone got a photo of the list of lies republicans plan to tell about the billionaire bailout bill.

This should be bigger news, no? www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called ā€œWhite Castleā€, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

This is fraction of the studies & epi analyses published in peer-reviewed journals showing no evidence of a link between vaccines & autism, and that vaccines are both safe & effective. But, hey, a stupid meme bleated out like a fart is more credible than well-designed scientific research.

ā€œTelling inconvenient truths to presidents is what intelligence analysts are supposed to do. CIA analysts have done this for decadesā€¦ā€ www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
