Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

“Again, the mice used for clinical purposes did not undergo gender transition.”

Every time you see what sounds like a wild claim about woke research, you can assume a) it will fall apart under the most basic of inspection, b) the person making the claim will never be held accountable for lying, and c) it is a cover to gut useful research that we benefit from.

At Least Now We Know the Truth It’s ugly, but necessary to face.

“optimize your writing with AI—” how about you optimize your brain by thinking for yourself and not outsourcing your creativity to companies owned by some of the world’s worst people

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Good stuff this morning.

I’m gonna do some fierce emailing today.

Wall Street Journal headline: DOGE Aides Search Medicare Agency Payment Systems for Fraud. Elon Musk's allies have been on site at Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services offices this week.

A very real thing that can definitely be done at a glance by skimming a spreadsheet in a computer system you're unfamiliar with

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being

Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla · 15m Trump just ordered two dams open to levels that would have flooded Central Valley communities and farms – all to justify his lies about the LA fires. These rivers don’t even flow to Los Angeles. The incompetence isn’t just staggering, it’s dangerous. And I’m demanding answers.

One of California's senators is very pissed.

A little late evening news dump from the Pentagon….they’re kicking out NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico and replacing them with New York Post, Breitbart, OANN, and HuffPost….insane

Jan 6 was a rehearsal. This time they'll do better.

Democrats refuse to vote on Trump budget pick: ‘So clearly unfit for office’ Senate Democrats boycott vote to advance Russ Vought’s nomination amid chaos caused by federal funding freeze

This right here. Thank you Senate Dems. I'll take 100 more servings.

Should go without saying but the point of diversity in hiring is to find _better_-qualified candidates outside of stagnant social networks that don't reward merit, like the kind of network that would put an MTV personality with a marketing degree in charge of the Department of Transportation

A reminder to the US Senate....nominees lie to get the appointment. Remember when Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh swore before you that they would absolutely NOT overturn Roe? How'd that work out? Rely on their actions and their past behavior, not their "testimony."
