THIS!!! "NIH is flouting its statutory responsibilities by terminating so many grants with a dwindling opportunity to reallocate them which will result in a substantial portion of Congress’s appropriation going unspent" on pg 71- i encourage all with stake in matter to read the entire lawsuit.

What happened at HHS today was an act of terrorism that, if allowed to stand, will kill far more Americans than died on 9/11 and in the wars that followed.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

These are the divisions eliminated in CDC. Apparently the man who claims he’s going to address chronic conditions does not want smoking or miner’s health addressed, or lead poisoning, to name just a few. Because he’s not really trying to address chronic illness. He just wants to remove vaccines.

So. Occam's razor is a valid principle. But it's very often misused, and this is a classic example. The common statement of Occam's razor is that the simplest explanation is usually the right one. In actuality, it's that the explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is the right one.

It's been a terrible day. Science has been gutted by a horrific purge of the NIH, CDC, and FDA; a purge I'm not sure we recover from anytime soon. But Senator Booker is a bright light reminding us darkness isn't a force - silence and inaction of good people allows the evil. Get into good trouble!

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Today is chaos. So many agencies are breaking down across the board from FDA to CDC to VA. Swaths of SSA are down. The American government is being hacked by the American government. Medical research, medicines, & social security accessibility are all questionable. It's only Tuesday.

A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was <50. Today, it is ~80. What made the difference? Public Health. Public health, however, is not some magic entity happening in a vacuum - it requires people. Without those people, there can be no Public Health. That serves no one. Wake up.

This last line sickens me more than anyting. "The case is due to be heard by a judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Friday." They are going to leave him in El Salvador until at least Friday. This seems like a case that should be in front of a judge in ten minutes.

It's been a tossup on whether delay to the Reduction in Force, which was planned to begin on Friday, was intentional torment or incompetence. This article points to the latter, suggesting infighting might be the cause. #RIF www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

When people ask those yelling at Democrats to “do something” what they expect them to do, a pretty simple answer is have the courage to apply the laws that already exists. There is no excuse to let Musk do this and not arrest him. None. You’re just proving the laws don’t apply to people like him.

I am going through the Rogan episode with Suzanne Humphries to enumerate the comments made which are either erroneous or misleading and it is genuinely appalling that people will say things like this and others will believe them. Why do we have to live in an era where this is mainstream?

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

China, Russia, Singapore, India and Malaysia are rushing teams and aid to Burma. This is soft power. It’s not just help for the sake of helping. This is the kind of power that sticks. This is the shit USAID did. Hard power builds defiance…soft power builds relationships. We are the bad guys

The reason Elon keeps doing these blatantly corrupt money giveaways to incentivize voting is because, again, no one is stopping him or holding him accountable. A democracy that refuses to do anything but assume everyone acts in good faith isn’t a democracy at all

The NIH grant that has supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The PSDP has supported the careers of many NIH-funded pediatrician-scientists and thought leaders

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
