This is such painfully stupid bullshit. You just want to scream about the pointless, totally avoidable consequences.
🚨 BBC has examined trade volume data on several financial markets & matched them to some of Trump’s most significant market-moving statements.
It found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a SM post or media interview was made public.

The Save Act died in the Senate, again yesterday, but with tRump’s Epstein war, most people didn’t notice.
In some South states, less than 30% of citizens have a passport, and most married women nationwide don’t have a birth certificate matching their current legal name.

Trump pardons those who can pay him which leaves those who hurt them with literally nothing. I can’t believe MAGA thought a billionaire would be on their side. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.propublica.org/article/trum...

We had an excellent hike at a new place: Robbins Branch Trail in the Birkhead "Wilderness" in the Uwharries. We saw two cool new plants, one I'd never seen (Salvia urticifolia Nettleleaf Sage) and one I'd only seen 34 years ago, Senega officinalis (Seneca Snakeroot). Still new places to explore! 1/n
Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
We filed suit against the Trump administration (again) today to block the implementation of an unlawful executive order that seeks to undermine inclusion & equal opportunity, threatens government contractors w/ criminal prosecution, & chills protected speech.
These are not normal times.
Today, I had the honor of being sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives — a moment I don’t take lightly.
To the people of NJ-11, thank you.
WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
important work from my @gladstoneinst.bsky.social and @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social colleagues (also @harmitmalik.bsky.social!) on pro- and anti-HIV host factors. Just when you thought we couldn't do more! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
A herculean effort by many, but esp. the first three authors: Ujjwal Rathore, Eli Dugan, and Hunter Thornton working in the Krogan and Marson labs, with a veritable army of collaborators from HARC (harc.ucsf.edu) and beyond.

Might have a "slight effect" on foreign tourism since most come from socialist countries 😆
The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements.
The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.
This is a war based on lies

Like most drug discovery researchers, I’ve been watching the “peptides for everything” craze with a mixture of amusement and alarm:
Top notch and terrifying piece about this in the @newyorker.com Unbelievable what was allowed BEFORE MAHA

Extremely proud of my student Will Hamilton and the work we've done to characterize Wolbachia ankyrin repeat proteins. TLDR: they do interact with specific Drosophila proteins! journals.asm.org/eprint/KXVNI...
I am giving a "Crash Course in Embryo Development" for the general public (no science background needed! pitched around GCSE-level) in London on 21st May www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cri... We'll dip into development, with a splash of embryo models, and a pinch of ethics. And it's free! Book online 👍
