I posted this a while ago. It is a very effective video!

The EPA is forcing 124 of its scientists and researchers to accept reassignments and 35 of them are being told to pack up and move to a new city if they want to keep their jobs.

Today was a major win for accountability. We just got word that in the court case between the American Academy of Pediatrics and RFK Jr., a judge ruled that the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, ACIP, cannot move forward under his changes and reversed many of the actions taken so far.

Analysis: Why the research money isn’t flowing from NSF and NIH White House review of agency spending plans for this year is causing delays

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

N.I.H. Worker Who Criticized Trump Seeks Whistle-Blower Protection

We stand with Dr. @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social! She’s a champion for health equity and scientific integrity.

No one should face retaliation for speaking up for public health and science. We must protect whistleblowers and defend equitable health research for all. 💪

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Exclusive: key NIH review panels due to lose all members by the end of 2026 Thirteen of the agency’s advisory councils, which must review grant applications before funding is awarded, are on track to have no voting members.

🚨 New from me: Grant review at more than half of NIH's institutes could be frozen by the end of the year.

That's because crucial NIH grant-review panels are slated to be empty at those institutes by Jan 2027.

A wonky bureaucratic problem with big implications.

A short 🧵

Limit on multiyear funding of NIH grants is a sticking point in Senate budget talks A clause limiting the use of multiyear NIH grant funding has become a sticking point as the Senate appropriations panel finalizes the HHS spending bill.

The multi-year NIH funding of grants tagged to 2025 allows Russell Vought to reduce the number of grants funded this year because he insists that a 5 years of $$$ has to be committed. This is bad. We could see a cut in actual grants by 1/3 or more. Spread the word. www.statnews.com/2026/01/16/n...

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left “We can no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity,” write four scientists and administrators who recently resigned from the NIH.

Here's what I saw. 🧵 🧪

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them.

Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics.

This hurts federal workers and puts us all at risk in a public health emergency.

1. do not send read receipt
2. forward to personal email
3. wait for union language before responding
4. download docs (eOPF etc) quickly; expect to lose network access
5. ensure a non-gov email way to access mypay and other benefits
6. book Dr appointments and Rx filled

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

It’s not a surprise that Trump lied. But this may be his biggest lie yet — and we must not let him forget it.
