We all spend hours upon hours writing and submitting grants, many of us spend hours and hours reviewing grants, but has anyone in my network actually received an NOA or funding for a *new* project in the last 6 months or year? The fact that NIH doesn’t appear to be releasing any funds is 😬😢💔.

Very happy to announce that "Mapping Malfeasance" is now forthcoming with the Indiana Law Journal! I argue that partisan intent is sufficient to invalidate an election map under under any state's constitution. @ssrn.bsky.social link: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

Watch this in its entirety. It is painful to watch. I work at a university with exceptional colleagues who do thoughtful, consequential work. And this is the buzzsaw all of academia they face. This should follow him forever.

Wild part is we explained all of this years ago very publicly and they swore they got it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

The paper does not show anything else. There is immune activity, these activities correlate with each other, as you would expect. If this is causal, for some symptoms, or consequencial to others: it remains unknown. 7/7

Silly. You need ID (not “voter ID”) to get on a plane. Not “proof of citizenship,” which is what the SAVE America Act requires.

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

This makes sense but also wtf.

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up? Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.” Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%. Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

Let’s give him credit…. At least the corruption isn’t hidden. He’s doing it right out in the open. The name “Trump” will be treated like Benedict Arnold’s name within the decade

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

As a someone with a 33 year NIH-funded lab whose grant is supposed to be reviewed this week, shut NIH down if that is what's needed to end ICE terrorism. Innocent lives are more important 🧪

"We are living through incredibly critical times. The United States, the ideals and values for which it stood for the past 250 years, is being tested as it has never been in modern times. Those values and those ideals have never been as endangered as they are right now.” variety.com/2026/music/n...

JD Vance wants these guys to know they're welcome in the GOP, and the people who want them out are not.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science. This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next. 🧪

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

It just keeps getting worse.

These grand jury materials will “not add to the public knowledge.” A judge says Trump misled the public and disregarded the victims.”

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Australia is on track to become the first country to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035. Zero (0) cervical cancer cases were diagnosed in Australian women under 25 in 2021 - the first time since records began. Put simply, Vaccines Work.
