Bannon and Trump may have promoted the COVID lab leak but it was fueled by irresponsible journalism—folks looking for scandal and ignoring overwhelming evidence, probability, and expert consensus.
I’m still mad about it.
crates.io screenshot showin 6 crates, most of which *-rs, all created 2 days ago
Jeez... 6 in a day... this is gonna be so bad for the ecosystem long term.
Even if none of these gains any traction, the name squatting and confusion/bloat that others will have to deal with just to figure out which crates are/are not serious is a pain.
Screenshot of NBC News headline. White text on dark blue background. Headline reads: In group chats and meetings, Republicans are privately petrified the Iran war could cost them the midterms. Subhead: Many Republican lawmakers and strategists told NBC News they worry the party has little to run on. 'Right now, the voters don't see a message or a strategy,' a Trump pollster.
It’s sad that politics are part of the calculus for my Republican colleagues when we’re talking about an expensive, deadly war that is already spiraling out of control. BUT they still have time to do the right thing and join Democrats to pass our war powers resolution to end this war.
Didn't expect this bizarre outcome. In 2021 @pubs.acs.org published a paper by Ariel Fernández full of COVID lab leak conspiracy nonsense (Twitter thread x.com/PeterDaszak/...). They refused to retract but issued an Expression of Concern. Forward 5 yrs & @retractionwatch.com contacted me about it..
Holy crap 😬
I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.
BREAKING: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has sent criminal referrals to the DOJ involving the former inspector general and whistleblower tied to the first Trump impeachment.

BREAKING on MS NOW:
Tulsi Gabbard just referred the whistleblower whose complaint led to the first impeachment of Trump — and the Inspector General who deemed the complaint "credible" — for possible criminal prosecution by the Trump Justice Department.

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.
Dear Member of Congress: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) are deeply grateful for the longstanding bipartisan support from Congress for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We want to inform you of current and likely impacts of delays and changes in funding policies and procedures for NIH grants. Our concerns relate to the following areas within NIH: • Massive reduction in notice of funding opportunities • Delays in funding processes and inadequate capacity to administer grants • Increase in forward funding of multiyear awards in year one • Delays and potential lapses in funding for large clinical trial networks and clinical trial units Lack of transparency around permitted international collaborative partners for research projects • Disproportionate impact of grant terminations on vulnerable populations, especially women and people of color
U.S. infectious disease research is on the brink. Without immediate action from Congress, much of it will cease to exist within a year.
For example👇
1️⃣ No collaborative RFAs posted for >1 year (normal: many / year).
2️⃣ No foreign collaborators allowed on grants.
