Here’s a great clip for all you bored feds who got fired/RIFed/however removed so you could get an exciting, well-compensated private-sector job.

The people of Michigan have spoken.

U.S. infectious disease research is on the brink. Without immediate action from Congress, much of it will cease to exist within a year. For example👇 1️⃣ No collaborative RFAs posted for >1 year (normal: many / year). 2️⃣ No foreign collaborators allowed on grants. 🧪🪦 www.idsociety.org/globalassets...

$165,626,742,154.29 That's the cost of the Trump administration's mismanagement, as estimated by a new tool from @ourpublicservice.bsky.social: federalharmstracker.org/cost-to-our-... $1.26B lost from terminated NIH grants as of Feb 2026. $1,028.74 for each person in the country.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.

So glad that JayBhat, w/ his decades of statistical & vaccine efficacy analysis experience is able to weigh in on this. What an asshat.

My op-ed in @washingtonpost.com Sometimes it’s hard to tell how an outbreak could have been prevented. But with raw milk and raw dairy, it’s pretty straightforward. These are preventable and fueled by misinformation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The “yoink!” really sets this Bryant Park woodcock video apart from the rest, for me hellgatenyc.com/new-yorkers-...

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

In contrast to another Easter greeting.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

I keep trying to make it clear that what RFK Jr. has done to public health and healthcare will take years before the full weight of the horror becomes visible. We are seeing the canaries in the coal mine with the measles outbreak and the FDA idiocy around vaccine approvals.

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

Today is the anniversary of the April 1 RIFs at NIH and HHS. Thinking of my colleagues who lost their jobs last year. These cuts did no improve efficiency. They undermined the functioning of our government.

Could someone please release a herd of rabid racoons in the White House. And a few for Andrew Nixon as well. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/h...

Today is my one year anniversary as NIH director. People ask me, "Jay, what have you been doing at NIH?" I tell them that I have accomplished more than any other NIH director in his first year ("his," because Bernadine Healy and Monica Bertagnolli were DEI directors, not real ones). 🧵

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...
