Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Just brutal and cruel. My son has an undiagnosed illness (possibly FND) and we were hoping for help from the NIH UDP. He is running out of hope.

This is who the administration considers a threat? “Her collaborative spirit, intellectual curiosity, positive attitude, and remarkable ability to foster a genuine passion for learning have left an indelible mark on all of our lives.” as.tufts.edu/epcshd/news-...

Brown University Professor and Doctor Is Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order (Gift Article) Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist and Brown University professor who had a valid visa, was expelled in apparent defiance of a court order.

She was here legally and is an employed transplant nephrologist. They completely ignored the judge’s order. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

CDC Pick Dave Weldon’s Views On Reproduction And End-Of-Life Raise Alarm Weldon will be overseeing some reproductive care. His strong beliefs on abstinence, abortion, and end-of life care raises issues that should be discussed.

This!

A new approach to the Loving Kindness meditation necessary in these times…

Top HHS spokesperson quits after clashing with RFK Jr. Thomas Corry resigned over disagreements with the HHS secretary and his approach to the measles outbreak.

This headline says it all. “Senior USAID official ousted after detailing problems providing life-saving aid”

So all NIH websites appear to be down.

CDC recommended adult immunization schedule by age group, united states, 2025

SAVE THIS PDF 🚨

While it's still available, save a PDF of the CDC's adult vaccine schedule: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp...

It also has ALL the specifications and different types of contingencies (pregnancy, immunocompromised, etc.)!

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

Reports of Encephalopathy Among Children ... This report describes cases of influenza-associated encephalopathy or encephalitis among children during 2010-11 through 2024-25 flu seasons.

It's not too late to get a flu vaccine. Especially important for kids this year.

I have been on several meaningful papers co-authored by both CDC and WHO staff, where participation from both organizations was key—unfortunately here is more meddling anti-science #censorship by the administration.

Supreme Court has temporarily blocked ruling that would require immediate payment to USAID contractors tonight while it figures out what to do next:

That’s what they said about USAID, too.

The last US measles death was in 2015…yet this is being normalized.

Ok this is nuts but we urgently need #USAID witnesses for TODAY 2/26: Marocco has stated that the USG cannot make all of the payments by midnight tonight. The lawyers need people who can refute (can be anonymous) and make the case that these payments CAN move! Contact Stephen.Wirth@arnoldporter.com

Agree! Along with "Charlie horse" and "sugar diabetes" 🙄

Easily missed in all the news, but an important program to help reduce maternal mortality has been shuttered. While Black pregnant people are still three times more likely to die than white people.

“Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021”

As others have said, he could also use his control over the post office to block delivery of abortion medication as well. This is all illegal and unconstitutional, and I’m guessing horribly unpopular.
