The NIH funding cap on indirect costs will eviscerate scientific research from the inside. Universities won’t be able to support researchers, biomedical progress will slow, & YOUR health will be harmed. Plus, widespread economic collapse. Read more ⬇️ news.immunologic.org/p/the-nih-in...

BREAKING: NIH admits funding freeze is illegal, will resume issuing grants open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia. Immunotherapies? Gene therapy for rare diseases? Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines? Vaccines? Novel cancer treatments? Psychiatric medicines? You betcha. 1/

Listen to Sen. Warren, she speaks the truth.

Staffers at the nation’s cybersecurity agency whose job is to ensure the security of U.S. elections have been placed on administrative leave, jeopardizing critical support provided to state and local election offices across the country.

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

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

I promise you. PROMISE YOU, that in four years nobody among us will ever admit to supporting Trump in mixed company. “Big Balls” good Lord America

Would really love if Green Day would just re-release American Idiot like it's a new album. So many people have memory holed it or didn't pay attention and we really need that energy right now.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

QUOTE OF THE DAY…

So to my friends who are HHMI-funded, are you going to speak out about this? HHMI is a private funder and does not have to follow the executive orders, and yet.... www.science.org/content/arti...

Serious question, because this is where we’re headed… Who’s going to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable if he defies court rulings? Who’s going to stop him?

If you have heard about the new strain of #H5N1 #Birdflu spilling into cattle and do not understand what it means, I suggest reading this excellent report from the US department of agriculture. I have summarized key point below TLDR: "Houston we have a problem" www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Yes he is.

calling it: this nike spot is the best one of the day

I'm laughing right now not because I condone vandalism, but because of something completely unrelated to the image I am currently looking at while I laugh.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Fire whoever decided two Trump supporting has-beens should be in a "no place for hate" ad

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

The NIH has announced an immediate lowering of university indirect cost rates to 15% effective today. Research costs universities- most charge 55%-70% overhead to cover the real administrative, lights on, heat the labs costs. This is effectively a massive budget cut with no serious rationale.

Good morning!

😭😭😭

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

It's a coup.

Sigh… I live in Southern California and what Trump did with the water was never going to reach us. He created a new problem! Donald Trump thinks north means up, so the water would flow down to Los Angeles. “California farmers still love Trump, even after he dumped their water.”

Selective outrage of the right.
