Grant cancellations of any kind are terrible and disruptive, but I've been thinking a lot about the compounding effects that cancelling trainee grants will have - so many promising young people left discouraged and (rightfully) contemplating careers outside of science.

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.

I lived in France when my daughter was born and received funding from the government related to her birth. Funds were not for birt, they were for each prenatal doctor visit and for each postnatal doctor visit and for her vaccinations. The goal was not more children, it was more healthy children.

Happy 97th birthday to one of America's greatest living satirists, Tom Lehrer! Here's a musical selection that seems particularly appropriate for the start of @aseh.bsky.social's annual meeting... #TomLehrer #Comedy #envhist #ASEH25 🗃️📜

The IRS giving ICE access to migrant workers’ tax data isn’t 'efficiency.' It’s state-sanctioned violence against people who keep the economy running. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

When Corey Booker was Mayor of Newark he joined us at NBC for a Hurricane Sandy Benefit. His security guy was a friend of mine and told me they had been up for almost 48 hours delivering supplies to constituents.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Wait! Why does Elon Musk have any tight to, or need, access to details of our military secrets. What's next, the nuclear codes? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

@maragay.bsky.social thank you for your remarks on Deadline : White House. This administration is not erasing DEI, they are erasing Equal Employment Opportunity and that's how it should be discussed. What we had prior to EEO was preferential hiring for white men.

Elon Musk is a conman and a criminal. Of course he wants to destroy Social Security, because he can’t get his tiny greedy fingers on it any other way.

Fired for making the right decision. Of course she was in this Through the Looking Glass world we're living in. The queen of hearts in the White House loves to have everything topsy-turvy. And loves to say "off with their heads." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...

💉🧵The trend to ban mRNA vaccines is extremely concerning. Montana recently voted down a ban and Idaho is introducing a bill to criminalize their use. mRNA vaccines have been studied since 1990 and are a critical scientific advancement. An mRNA vaccine against pancreatic cancer is in clinical trials

When Trump declared that the "age of rule by unelected bureaucrats is over!" Democrats audibly laughed and many pointed in Elon Musk's direction.

I cannot tell you how many things Trump is saying that were long ago debunked in every single major-media publication but that he is saying tonight because he thinks they sound good and he knows that the people he is actually trying to speak to literally never watch the news, only his speeches

Trump again lying and implying that dead old people are claiming Social Security. He's been factchecked on this but of course he doesn't care. Many of them are being paid, he says. Liar.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

Prisons may be an essential part of keeping a society safe but they should never, never be used for personal profit. Shame on anyone who owns them to run as a business

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

The behaviors of Trump & Vance against President Zelenskyy were embarrassing, playing up to the dictator of Russia against a European ally. This on the ground documentary shows what Ukraine has been up against since day one 3 years ago. I challenge you to watch it. ❤️🇺🇦
