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.

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%.

The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Been looking forward to season 2 of Severance for years now! This meticulously crafted show is so different than anything I’ve ever seen and I love it. Apple TV+ has become my favorite platform. #severance #appletv+

SCOTUS is wrong. Last year, I voted against the TikTok ban because I feared Congress getting into the business of shutting down media platforms in violation of the 1st Amendment. If implemented, this ban would impact 170 million Americans who use TikTok for news & entertainment.

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products. Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Incredibly scary watching the Palisades Fire spread so quickly on day one, Tue Jan 7th. At this point, we began to pack for evacuation and did a video walkthrough of our home. What a stressful week. The firefighters and animal rescuers were absolute heroes! #Palisadesfire #LAFire

After a scary, heartbreaking week of fires in LA, I’m proud of how our city came together in support (great volunteer work via YMCA). Best thing you can do is donate to struggling GoFundMe’s or to causes that match funds, foster animals, or volunteer. #LAstrong #LAFires
