New York Times:

“Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela & for her struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Graph of polio cases and death rates from 1910 to present. Very high cases of 10-37 per 100,000 population per year, but they literally drop to zero after the polio vaccine became available in the late 1950s.

Picture of 30 or 40 people in "iron lungs" after succumbing to polio.

The graph shows what happened when the polio vaccine became available. Deaths and illness stopped. People begged to get it when it became available.

Reversing this is what Florida just announced it intends to do.

Whistle-Blower Complaints Detail Tension Over Vaccines at N.I.H.

This is courage from former NIH leaders.

Thank you, Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo and Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, former heads of two NIH institutes.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

As of 4:15 PM, the helicopters haven’t returned following the press briefing.

Day 1 they’re back and it’s “so anyway guys, Epstein…” DON’T LET UP!

I saw the helicopters going out to Walter Reed- they came back by toward the White House 6 minutes later (I’m not far from WRH by helicopter ha). I don’t think he was well enough to be fetched.

The turn around time did not really allow for a pick up IMO, so I wouldn’t be shocked if they cancel this 2 PM. If it happens tho, I’ll be back on the lookout for the helicopters to return him!

Definitely just saw Trump’s helicopters fly by my window out toward Walter Reed and back 10 minutes later toward the White House about 1:30 PM today… read into that how you will! #trumpwalterreed

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

YES NYC!

They are on hr10!

To work for Donald Trump means you have to lie as you breathe.

Called their bluff. Good job, Atlantic.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

And there it is... @theathletic.bsky.social

Ahh I'm dying

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

WHEN: Wednesday, March 26, 2025, 2:30pm EST WHERE: SD-106, Livestream available here WHO: U.S. Senators Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, M.D., former Director of the NIH Dr. Sterling Johnson, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor and Associate Director of Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Dr. Whitney Wharton, PhD, Emory University Associate Professor and Alzheimer’s Disease researcher Dr. Larry Saltzman, M.D., retired physician living with leukemia and former Executive Research Director for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Mr. Jessy Ybarra, veteran living with ALS and Board of Trustees member for the ALS Association “As Donald Trump and Elon Musk claim they want to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ they are halting lifesaving research that gives Americans battling Alzheimer’s disease and cancer hope every day that they have a fighting chance at getting better,” said Senator Baldwin.

Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research.

2:30pm Eastern. There is a livestream.

This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did.
But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.

These things take time and will fluctuate. Market reacting to latest current events. Elon just begged his whole staff not to sell their stock and that the future would be unbelievably bright. There will be some who fall for it and some who bet the stock will go up. Now as sales reports come out...

Lololll that only works in the federal government....amateur.

Yes...where is she...? Crickets from her..

And Glenn Ivey!! First to call Schumer to step down!

I nominate Van Hollen, because he has sought out and attended events even if they were organized last minute that support NIH and scientific research. I had never seen him in person until these events. One of the few Senators to faithfully attend!
