I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

NEW: Title X clinics around the country that provide contraception, cancer screening etc. to more than 2mil low income people could see their federal funding cut off in a few weeks. HHS was supposed to give clinics guidance months ago about reapplying for funding, but it's been "radio silence."
Wait. Is that truly his PhD research?

BILLIONAIRES: SYMPTOM OF AN AMORAL SYSTEM
- Buying elections
- Contributing massively to global heating
- Owning the means of communication
- Evading regulations, laws, and taxation

Belated happy international women’s day!
The world is your Onion.
Had me fooled.
OK. So apparently this is a parody. My bad. But the fact this seems plausible is profoundly disturbing .
Reality has become a parody site.
"Jabby's Playhouse"??
Our tax dollars peddling dangerous science crack to kids.
There is always a new low to be had.

You need to read this thread
Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership
He has shown—over & over—that he will impede the careers of early career researchers
He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was “bad”
This is a war of choice by a desperate US regime that a majority of the public opposes.
Even though the Iranian people oppose the regime they do not want foreign bombs falling on their country.
The war will not make the US a safer or better place, and it is wrong morally.
“these people”?? Seriously??
I thought that was strange too. It is an artifact of the fact that for some instances there is no score good enough to guarantee an 80% chance of funding so the model has to invent scores lower than 1
This is profoundly destructive.
The damage they are doing in a year will take decades to undo. 🧪 #medsky #episky
And for the record, getting an NIH grant was already one of the hardest things out there. This is how you kill a research infrastructure that has taken a century to build. 🧪 #medsky #episky
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Measles Cases.
Sorry. Measles cases.
Remember what a huge story the Disney outbreak of 2019 was? And how California tightened MMR vaccine requirements as a result? That outbreak is a tiny blip compared to what we are seeing now.
Make America Measles Again
Two months in and already more than half of the total from last year. And that was the worst year since 1992.

Well, start an deeply unpopular and entirely illegal war of aggression...
You'd think that be it with the presidency.
Instead, the dictators enjoys renewed elite support from the supposed opposition party & shows US citizens & the world how out of touch and unaccountible elites in US are.
Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.
He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.
She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.
RFK Jr. and his henchmen claim they are “restoring trust in public health”.
The truth is that trust in any agency RFK Jr. touches is nosediving; in fact, only 38% of Americans polled trust RFK Jr. himself (still too high).
4x more people trust the AAP over the CDC for vaccine recommendations.
Someone want to ask Jay Bhattacharya how his whole rebuilding trust in NIH thing is going?

She also said she used to be Charlie Kirk’s lawyer 👀 & that we put him on a “censorship list”.
No, sweetheart. We made a list of top bullshitters in the 2020 election AFTER the election, by looking at who spread what rumors. Your boy was on it. 🤷🏻♀️
Pointing that out isn’t “censorship” it’s speech.
Joe Rogan is an asshole just like Stephen Miller but wears a hoodie instead of a suit & tie.
