Yes, AI needs some oversight. No technology works without people running it. The debate about whether to regulate AI makes you wonder what the lawmakers who want absolutely no regulation of AI are cooking up

There are so many people rolling their eyes to each of these posts. I guess we have to do more than eye-roll. It's just difficult to know what the next action really should be.

Sen. Mark Kelly facing military investigation after clashing with Trump A statement from the Pentagon said all service members have a "legal obligation" to "obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful."

America needs more patriots like Senator Mark Kelly and fewer miserable cowards like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

No surprise the Trump NIH director doesn’t understand how science works—doesn’t get NIH has been *the* world-historic leader in innovation.

After all, he’s never actually done any science.
Even before his rightwing pundit career 2020-25, he spent his time with economists, not scientists.

(1/5) On this day in 1942, the US Coast Guard Women's Reserve, also known as the SPARs, was created - the name stood for Semper Paratus - Always Ready, the CG's motto. Although not well-known, the SPARs were an important part of the service in WWII!

Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."

We would reeeaaaaally like to know who is putting this hot garbage on the CDC website (def not us!).

And the footnote! “Bill Cassidy made us keep the truth in there and we’re complaining publicly about it”.

Quick! Someone get these whiny little babies their vaccines!

Good morning! We’re still not over 🧠 🪱’s latest stunt in his crusade to spread vaccine/autism disinformation. The data are clear and unequivocal, VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM and yesterday’s vile dribble of a webpage update needs to be removed 😒

C.D.C. Changes Website to Reflect Kennedy’s Vaccine Skepticism

CDC Website has been hacked!
Just kidding (sadly 😩)

Call Senator Bill Cassidy (202- 224-5824) and tell him to DO something! As the man (and MD!) who was the deciding vote in confirming the 🧠 🪱 that is destroying public health, he is also culpable!

As the U.S. gov moves towards selectively revoking research grants and cutting federal research jobs, the scientific community is left asking:
