That was before the president believed in impoundment. No need for congress this time

This storm is not calming down, it’s becoming stronger. It’s going to be a tough and long fight. Good luck to the biotech community out there!

I love the Easter Egg of Richard Enright not talking like a nutter in this article. It adds to the apocalyptic vibe
