Wake up Republicans Dementia Don has no idea what's going on. Trump said
Vance is landing in Pakistan
Nope he is in DC
(ty @drdind.bsky.social ) for your thread

Woooooooooboyyyyyy!

Democratic House Rep. Raul Ruiz absolutely fillets RFK Jr. in the hearing about the HHS budget:

"It has been reported by Bloomberg that the president and the White House have sidelined you, they've benched you, because you are making the president look bad...

🔥

RFK “they’re dying b/c they had to move to city nursing homes and family couldn’t visit”. Really? In his keen medical opinion, the cause of death was fewer family visits? This fuckin guy is nuts and he tells the laziest of lies

Sorry for the delay. Done. LMK if you need anything further.

Petunia: I got the toy...

Glory: Oh, yeah??

The seduction continues...

Glory says "Play with me!"

So this was apparently my 10,000th post here.

Thanks for following and for the engagement.

I just wish I hadn't had so much about which to post...

It wasn’t in an academic setting. Different rules.

My quote of the day

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Yep. He apparently wants to tell the story of divorcing his long-time wife to marry his research assistant more than 20 years younger.

I mean, you do you, but don’t hold yourself up as some paragon of insight and virtue.

That’s Eric Idle’s point.

Stay positive even when life’s a piece of shit (when you look at it).

Still the most popular song at British funerals.

Pointed essay about what Americans faced during wars, the great depression, and the civil rights movement.

Now what is needed is to stay engaged, pay attention, and help where you can.

America is worth it.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha

Panda cuddles…

Proud of you, PA

I often think about what it will look like to rebuild NIH. It's going to be hard, expensive work.

And that's if we stop the damage and start rebuilding soon.

It's only going to get harder the longer this lasts.

Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.

When Trump announced he was sending in ICE to—supposedly—help deal with the hours-long airport security lines caused by the partial government shutdown, journalist Amanda Moore set out to learn what the agents were really up to.

As it turns out, the answer was often: not much.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 This is what Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has been speaking out about.

Hey, UC Berkeley chemistry department: C&EN would like to hear from you. DM, or signal Laurel_Oldach.07

(amplification appreciated!)

In August, Jay Bhattacharya said “Training future biomedical scientists” was the 1st priority for his version of NIH.

But talk is cheap. Let’s see how JB’s doing. 🤔

NIH supports trainees mostly via fellowship (F), training (T), and career development (K) awards.

Here are funding curves for each.🧵

221. Chief Justice Roberts and the Clean Power Plan Remarkable reporting from the New York Times provides a peek behind the curtain of the February 2016 rulings that ushered in the modern emergency docket. And what it reveals is pretty discouraging.

"In the first major case in which the Court granted emergency relief as a means of shaping nationwide policy, it turns out that the justice who led the charge was the one who was doing quite a bit more than calling balls and strikes."
