A titan of vaccine development sees his field’s achievements slip away Stanley Plotkin, the 93-year-old "godfather of vaccines," is watching his field’s achievements slip away.

“In a pair of recent interviews with STAT, Plotkin expressed dismay at seeing the achievements of his career & his field slip away. He knows what lies ahead…
“All I can say is that I’m beginning to regret having lived so long —because we’re going downhill,” Plotkin said” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Trump Can't Commit to Honor U.S. Troops He Got Killed (The Daily Beast) President Donald Trump couldn't give a clear answer on whether he'd commemorate the American servicemembers killed in his surprise war...

"Will you be at Andrews for the Dignified Transfer of Remains?"

"Maybe".

Maybe ????? WTF!!!

Everything is so depressing, scary, and upsetting.

HELP FEED PEOPLE ANYWAY.

The cost of living is SO HIGH here. You can find milk for $2 more in DC than VA or MD. *(And I can order the food from there)

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Lindsey Graham: “If we lose anybody in this operation, they will die a noble death because they will have sacrificed their lives to make us safer here at home.”

We’ve heard this before.

I’m not buying it now, and I didn’t buy it then.

Today the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolved. Unbearably sad. PBS shaped generations and bound us together through education, culture, and truth. Branded “woke propaganda” and defunded by Trump and his allies, it’s gone. When sanity returns, may we have the resolve to restore it.

Trump did not have the right to bomb Iran, and even if he did, it's morally reprehensible and killing little girls should be considered a war crime.

We don't hold people accountable for war crimes anymore. Hopefully, this will change.

For now, our media, and government, glorify it.

They believe a mass shooting last night in Austin was terror-related. While I don't believe there are massive sleeper cells hiding in America, I do believe we have had our FBI gutted and any dangerous individuals can get away with a lot

Please help if you can! Unique has 3 children. D has 5 grandchildren and is disabled. The Snack Kid family also has 6 kids. It's cheaper to collect and distribute after buying some things in bulk.

I am collecting food again for people in the #DC community. The food will go to at least 3 families, but really, there are about 6 who will need help again soon. Help me gather supplies if you can!

The management were told by the Housing Authority that this is an adequate solution for the heat being out in her apartment. It's not, it's cruel. 6 humans and no bed in the place with heat. I bet they slept at home last night, though

She is disabled, and she really needs some help with food and other stuff. So, hopefully there's not compassion fatigue right now.

D is living in two apartments at once -- one WITH heat, and one without. The one WITH heat has no furniture. The one without heat is where all her belongings are.

There is no elevator, she has to go back and forth between 2 floors. I cannot wait for spring to come.

Which, to be clear, means MPD is violating the law

The Mayor needs to level with us about MPD collaboration with ICE – and rescind the orders that continue to allow it.

I finally got the will to turn my FitBit I got for Xmas on. I got it in the middle of a health emergency and ended up having surgery. I started exercising again last week.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Now his dad is doing much better instead of worse, which makes no sense especially because he's being drugged on a schedule for his back pain. It's starting to sound like sciatica to me, which hurts a lot laying in a home hospital bed
