Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published Jan. 2026)

An important read. When you starve federal funding, next gen treatments are out of reach. Philanthropy won't replace an entire 80 yr old infrastructure. Only certain discoveries get press coverage. But the work leading up to them was quietly decades in the making. 🧪 www.ms.now/opinion/canc...

We all need to write letters NOW, to keep Trump's politics out of research. He'll shut down desperately needed medical progress.

Ossoff details "Prince Eric and Prince Don's" corrupt dealings in Kazakstan and says, "here's the bottom line. If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God in front of Congress"

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

Another great fact check from @27unihted.bsky.social. This discriminatory screening process is morally injurious for NIH staff and clearly harmful to many Americans.

Why isn't EVERY state doing this?

New campaign signs dropped. These say I'm a scientist. Get yours! SamForNJ.org

Hey neuroscientists: were you, your lab or any of your ongoing projects caught up in any of the latest NIH firings? You can find me on Signal at avaskham.54 if you want to chat. 🧪 #neuroskyence

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

Trump/Vought are dooming children with cancer to death. There is not a drop of morality to those *.

At the @nihvigils.bsky.social this morning, I spoke about how Congress direct agency prioritizes. The executive branch can only direct priorities within the boundaries set by Congress. They can override them.

We really, really need to stop this sh*t!!! How in the * does one sociopathic, bleach blonde toddler get to decide such things?? His own wife, oops wives, were foreigners!!!

That is the cutest pea you'll ever see!

It was due to the fact that Mr. Abrego Garcia is not White. That's why I call the current Oval Room occupant "Trumpler".

Hey New Jersey people- Early voting starts May 26. The primary is June 2. Vote for Sam Wang!!

I gratefully accept the endorsement of the Forwad Party in my race for Congress in New Jersey 12th District! Together we will restore the rule of law, end gerrymandering, and save science. Let’s build a Congress that gets work done for the voters! SamForNJ.org

Best thing I've heard for a loooong time! Thank you to the indefatigable Marc Elias and his colleagues!!

Grateful and delighted to get the endorsement of Larry Lessig for my congressional run in NJ-12. More than anyone, he understands what it will take to fix the corruption of our broken democracy. drive.google.com/file/d/1r3T1...

Good to see my suspicions confirmed by a professional. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

What a shock that the Prasad/Hoeg claim about child deaths from the COVID vaccine was a big fat lie.

By a very large amount!

Why, why, why is this being allowed to happen??!!

The intention of Russ Vought et al. is to disable the research infrastructure. One way to do it: Create a staffing shortage that impacts the administrative aspects of issuing awarded grants. Fewer grant disbursements = less $ = less research = slow innovation. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The WH is determined to end our life-saving medical research. Neither you, your pets, or your livestock will benefit from medical advances that would have been discovered in the future. So many brilliant American scientists are moving to other nations. newsletter.smartbrief.com/sharedSummar...

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

“Under-babied” is not a real term. Hey Dr. Oz, your administration doesn’t prioritize women’s health. How TF do you expect women to have children when you are more interested in the fetuses than the mothers? Maybe start with reducing maternal mortality rates. thegepi.org/maternal-mor... #Pinks
