An #NIH-funded research team has developed an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer. Results from the clinical trial were published this week in Nature. #pancreas #cancer #mRNA #vaccine #medsky #science #medicine #bluesky

This is not democracy. We're down a chilling path, folks. And if this isn't law enforcement I hope she sues.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Unacceptable.

COLLINS: “In 2023 you wrote in Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11 - Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment that Ukraine is to blame?” WALTZ: “That was back when I was in Congress.”🤷🏻

This is remarkable. The last of 8 patients who tested positive for Ebola Sudan has been discharged. Now the 42 day count down to this outbreak being officially declared over is on. Only 1 fatality is a remarkable feat.🤞 Kudos to front line responders in #Uganda www.independent.co.uk/news/ebola-u...

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

👇🏻

As usual a total bs move to suppress voters. Elon and crew already have all of our info. www.wsoctv.com/news/local/n...

Free elections are the baseline for representative democracy. If Jefferson Griffin and NCGOP are successful in overturning the NC Supreme Court race next month, authoritarianism will be the rule in NC going forward.

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

Asked about the head of Social Security resigning over Elon’s DOGE squad trying to get access to sensitive data — Trump immediately spins it into a lie that she was fired over unsubstantiated claims of massive amounts of fraud that have been resoundingly debunked.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Senator Mark Warner spills the beans about "the real story" of how the TikTok ban went down. Turns out, its passage had more to do with the Gaza war than China. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

... “total shutdown” is planned for March 15... Website for the General Strike: generalstrikeus.com OPPOSE! PLEASE REPOST!

For years it was considered gauche to call Trump’s guys Nazis and now his government is led by literal Nazis.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Why are democrats not absolutely hammering on this?!

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Here we go www.nola.com/news/healthc...

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
