Our new tool, the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker, has already come under direct attack from Elon Musk. The attack itself is incoherent. He's upset we are exposing the truth about his efforts.

Massive tornado outbreak in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi.. People didn't get tornado alerts on their phones last, and tornado sirens didn't go off. Thirty-four folks are dead. Not drawing a direct line between gutting NOAA and these deaths, but it is hard not to.

Such staggering fatalism and lack of ambition. And to know it’s been bought and paid for, is the most revolting thing of all. JUST when we got to a place of consensus, these populists popped out to say “don’t worry about floods and fires, just carry on as you were”.

I think the takeaway is that a lot of Democrats are looking for a fighter, and others in the party should take note.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

“Groundbreaking Lyfgenia treatment used Beauzile's own bone marrow in IV transfusions to create normal red blood cells.” We may never know how many breakthroughs like this we’ve lost to trump/musk obliterating medical research in America.

New preprint! We worked with @msftresearch.bsky.social and @broadinstitute.org to see whether large language models (LLMs) can be useful to variant scientists in deciding whether genetic variants seen in a patient are responsible for their disease. tl;dr yes they can: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

more of this honesty. More of this truth. More of taking our blinders off and recognizing that our nation is very flawed. More understanding that the corrupt and the powerful will always use poor people as a scapegoat for all of our problems. More knowing the dangers of worship trust fund oligarchs.

More than 2 decades ago the PINK1 protein was found to be linked to Parkinson's disease, but its structure and how it was activated was not known. Until @science.org today. A triumph for cryo-EM and structural biology, introducing new targets for drug intervention. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
