Y'all: This is devastating for universities. Imagine you have a colony of research animals and can't re-order the food. Or you are a grad student on grant funding who lives paycheck-to-paycheck (also know as a student on grant funding). wapo.st/4gfgcHQ

In addition to the WHO, CDC has halted communication with USAID. This is not just a humanitarian disaster, but drastically limits our visibility of health events that could impact us.

Grrrr - this is sure to lower grocery prices right??? Right???? youtu.be/sL4XbvF_aKs?...

So, Trump is going to drain the country dry buying Trumpcoin. And SCOTUS made this legal. Got it.
