Not spending money that is appropriated for science is a tricky subject to explain, but for people in limbo (like myself, as I mentioned yesterday), it can have cause serious career harm.
Many celebrated the NIH budget bill. It’s not supporting science when an unchecked bottleneck still remains.
Israel crammed 2 million Palestinians into displacement camps where 50 people share one bathroom per hour & sewage runs between tents. Now bacterial meningitis is spreading through Gaza's children. An 11-year-old got sick & died within a week. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/a-de...

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?
CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer
AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed
Reporter: recent oversight reports of TX detention center holding immigrant children noted worms and mold in food, lack of access to legal counsel, lack of child-friendly food, lack of sleep, and mental health deterioration.

when @ariberman.bsky.social writes these words, it's a big fucking deal:
"In the past week, the different tactics the administration could use to interfere in the midterms have come into sharp focus."
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
Vaccine proponents worry that Kennedy will drive manufacturers from the US market by adding autism to the vaccine injury compensation program & unleashing a flood of litigation. The path to that change is through a committee he's currently "acip-ing." (clearing out) www.statnews.com/2026/01/20/k...

#Measles cases continues to climb. The 2025 tally has now hit 2242 & there've already been more confirmed cases in 2026 — 171 — than were logged in most years from the late 1990s to 2023!
Interesting to see the age distribution of cases. Lots of susceptible adults, seems. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...
Wonder how many of the 20+ cohort is immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable

“People who adopt a grave visit it regularly and leave flowers on the fallen soldier’s birthday. The responsibility is often passed down through Dutch families, and there is a waiting list to adopt graves of the U.S. soldiers.”

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.
