Diary of a Wobbly Balancer, February 27 This is not a feel-good post, it's not even a feel-bad post, it's a post from the slipstream, feeling the undertow, but training my eyes elsewhere. I did make a bunch of calls this week, and, yes,

I don't know anyone personally at NIH. But I think the grant management officers have to start signing orders and risking their jobs.

People still: Look, we can't read history through a contemporary lens. There wasn't a consensus that slavery was wrong. Every 18th c. pamphlet: How can they do this? Are we SLAVES? In SLAVERY? The worst things you can be? Are they gonna put us IN CHAINS? Like in SLAVERY? Which is EVIL? Like SLAV-

#BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts issues temporary, "administrative" stay of the government's midnight deadline to turn spending taps back on in foreign aid funding case. This is not a sign that the Court is going to rule for Trump on the merits; it's buying a short amount of time to sort it out.

I have wept many times over the past few weeks. For my career, for loved ones, for the program that paid for my childhood vaccines, for illegally fired friends and colleagues. But... /1

The "WHY ISN'T AMERICA PROTESTING RIGHT NOW" takes - even from Americans! - really show how many people are programmed to believe the only "real" action is mass protests.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Currently, I understand that the ADL is supporting the anti-mask legislation (call it what it is) in Maryland, positioning itself as an arbiter and opponent of antisemitism. Pardon me if I don't give a Sieg Heil to their efforts.

Does Andy Harris have a likely challenger in Maryland 1? Asking for the state's Medicaid beneficiaries. Is the Maryland Dem infrastructure putting that person out front now and talking about what Harris wants to do to the Eastern Shore w/re/to farming, healthcare, education?

I agree with Talking Points Memo. While I hold no faith in the Democrats as saviors, nor have I counted myself a Democrat ideologically for some time, this is what we got and the levers need pulling. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/red-a...
