OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Yes, it’s another wanton act of vandalism.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

What a tragedy.

The Trump admin is raising a flock of black swan catastrophes: - Financial deregulation: economic breakdown - Betrayal of allies: foreign relations catastrophe - Destruction of public health/biomedical research: pandemic - Willfully antagonizing half of the USA: risk of civil conflict

Today in National Parks News The pushback from the idiotic firing of thousands of National Parks employees is having an effect. Keep calling Keep the pressure on 202 224 3121 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

A Big Lie is a lie so big people figure it must be true-- because who would possibly tell such an outlandish lie. Today we have its mirror image, a Big Truth. Because what Trump and MAGA are doing to the USA and the world is so dreadful and implausible that one can't quite believe it's real.

Brian is a talented scientist and thought leader at the University of Kentucky whose research explores the mechanisms underlying Lyme disease, for which new treatments and prevention strategies are badly needed

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The press has a big role to play in shining light of what is going on...

If the admin wanted more US-born scientists, telling them at the last minute that they can't come to graduate school is probably not the best way to do it. www.statnews.com/2025/02/19/t...

The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side and is more than willing to see this war end on Russian terms. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

America’s (predictable) turn against Ukraine is morally repellent and strategically destructive.

Elon Musk is trying to access your personal bank and tax data. The world’s richest man should not and cannot be able to snoop around your personal finances. Period. End of story.

This is absolutely insane. They want to be able to see our tax records. Why? What purpose does this serve? Search our history so Elon can post about it? Attack their enemies? This is a five alarm fire! 🔥 wapo.st/3QizwcN

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

This is fascism.

Opinion | With Democrats expelled from power, we are finally liberated from the language police. Here's why the AP must be punished for not saying "Gulf of America."

All these brutal and destructive dismissals of federal employees… for what? The Washington Post says “Cutting government personnel by one-fourth would reduce federal spending by about 1 percent.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Being fired, demoted, sidelined by this administration is a straight up badge of honor.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

This is false. The power of the purse is meaningless if the executive can simply disregard the appropriation of dollars is the law. There are numerous specific textual bases for this claim. But the mere logic of the document and the structure it creates makes this emphatically clear.

Man...he literally nuked them from orbit. Thank God some people still remember their duty.

What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

I had no idea the Archivist had such central roles in the orderly operation of our laws and transfers of power. This article is eye-opening and very worrisome. www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-sho...

They are angry that a judge restored a public website providing life-saving resources from the CDC, FDA, and HHS.

Very good source to understand indirect costs by Sally Rockey, former Deputy Director for Extramural Activities at NIH. Very thorough and clear. If you want to understand indirect costs or have family or friends who are pestering you to explain IDC, send them this... www.aau.edu/key-issues/i...
