Pleased with Senator @markwarner.bsky.social response to my letter expressing concern about DOGE access to federal systems. He gets it. Thank you Senator Warner. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Elon Musk has cut federal cancer research & food for starving children, but hasn’t touched his own $15 billion in federal contracts. He will get richer and Americans will pay for it. Follow the money:

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

US aid freeze claims first victims as oxygen supplies cut off Seventy-one-year-old woman dies after being sent home from USAID funded hospital. Others die after hospitals close in refugee camps www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

External studies have shown: -NIH funding directly or indirectly supported the development of ALL new treatments that were FDA approved between 2010-2020 -the return on NIH investment is estimated at 25-40% annually given the improvement in productivity from a healthier workforce Facts matter.

Marianne Marcus Nursing Award nominations are now open! Dr. Marcus was well known for advancing interprofessional collaboration in substance use-related education, practice and research. Consider nominating a nurse who demonstrates a similar commitment.

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hello DoD and CFPB? I'd like to report EM for fraud and abuse of my tax dollars 💵

Russell Vought wanted to traumatize our federal workforce. Elon Musk is doing just that. My message to the federal workforce: I see you and am doing everything I can to fight this brazen attack. I won’t quit. You shouldn’t either!

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

We don’t expect you to read our 66-page report, so here’s a op-ed in @westword.com www.westword.com/news/colorad...

“Sending anyone from the United States to Guantanamo raises a host of legal, moral, and policy questions,” write Jonathan Hafetz and @becingber.bsky.social. They analyze some of the most salient questions in light of news that 10 people were sent to Guantanamo. www.justsecurity.org/107405/what-...

Foreign aid is NOT charity. USAID works to counter terrorism, promote democracy, and prevent conflicts. Why? So we don’t have to send American troops to fight more wars overseas.

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

Wow!

NEW: A much-publicized immigration raid billed as a drug bust only turned up small quantities of drugs and hasn't resulted in any criminal charges. Kevin Vaughan reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_J3...

Here is Lindsey Graham making sense for once, but he'll likely go wobbly.

At the last minute, National Institute on Drug Abuse advisory council meeting open session cancelled today. Unclear if closed session for grant decisions will happen. The US gvmt, while waging a trade war over fentanyl, is making it hard for us researchers to actually address the fentanyl crisis.
