Judge Halts ICE Warehouse Conversion in Maryland, Requires New Environmental Review The order halts work at the Williamsport warehouse and forces a new federal environmental review, raising new questions about when — or even if — the facility can open.

Extra-good news for Maryland!!

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...

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”

This is why we should fund science. 🧪

Nixon is clueless. The "single average number," voted on by the reviewers, is a better representation of scientific merit than anything else. Fewer grant applications are being discussed and scored in FY26 and program officials have less information to decide which are high risk/high reward.

One of the shelters had a mural on the history of the SG station. Will that be relocated or reproduced on the premises?

For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Bhattacharya, Letai & other politicals at NIH keep trying to to say all at NIH is fine, because they spent the full budget last year. This well researched article from @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social explains exactly why many scientists are still struggling. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

The judge stated what we knew, that this administration is illegally destroying healthcare. Their actions go beyond callousness, they are malevolent.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Correct. The most promising compounds lowered viral loads and prevented severe illness and death in the animals models. I didn't see anything on long-term health outcomes (e.g. long COVID), if that's what you're asking.

If you live in these states, you have Senators or Representatives on the appropriations subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies which covers the Forest Service. Hearings and budget decisions are happening over the next 1-2 months so it's critical to contact them now.

FDA Vaccine Chief Front-Runner Called mRNA Vaccines “Experimental Genetic Technology,” Compared Pandemic Response to Iranian Rule Dr. Houman David Hemmati is closely aligned with the MAHA movement.

NEW: The front-runner to become the nation’s next vaccine chief has called the mRNA COVID shots “experimental genetic technology,” compared the pandemic response to Iranian rule, and branded pandemic awareness a “COVIDian religion.”

An Eponym for Scientific Censorship in America: Bhattacharyaism It turns out Jay Bhattacharya's talk, "The End of Free Speech is the End of Science" was really a preview of coming attractions, a mission statement for his leadership.

Prior to obtaining power, Jay Bhattacharya faked a concern about free speech, at least when it came to his social media content.

Now that he is the medical establishment, his name should be forever linked with scientific censorship and a rejection of civil debate.

My latest.

Cover of report "Mission Aborted: how NASA illegally implemented the president's budget request without congressional approval. Minority staff report, prepared by members of the committee on science, space, and technology, us house of representatives, April 2026

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...
