The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

Itâs crazy that the worldâs richest dork can blast out racist filth to a hundred million people, is given the power by our government to execute on that dream, and will still be covered in the business page as a superstar business lord with a sizzling IPO coming.

This is Makary trying to make it seem principled and not the fact that his FDA was a dumpster fire that fucked up constantly and pissed off both scientists and lunatics at the same time. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Marty

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started:

NEW: A serious staffing shortage â of the Trump admin's own making â is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the country, leaving labs reeling in the meantime. âI thought we were at rock bottomâ, a senior NIH official said. âWe are below rock bottom now.â

NIH staffing shortage could slash number of new grants issued this year
Some units at the US funding giant are so understaffed, they are focusing on mandated grant renewals rather than new awards.

Our immediate priority is to take back our Congressional majorities. But I'm also keeping an eye on the big picture: a democracy that reflects the will of the people. That means reforming SCOTUS by enforcing a code of conduct and expanding the Court to rebalance it.

Same problem in MD where 1) a blue trifecta is scared of taxes and 2) a blue trifecta does not think of state workers as coalition members or people with families but simply as costs. The result is that it's very hard to hire teachers and bus drivers right now and I have 75 kids in a UMD classroom

Marty Makary was the worst FDA commissioner in 25 years. I have covered the agency that long. I don't say this lightly. He failed at the political, organizational, and scientific aspects of the job. Here's why:

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.
