TRUTH BOMB: “How you lose your country: through countless small acts of complicity.”

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

"You've shown why we tell participants not to share their data online" ← So UK Biobank blame cohort members for their own re-identification? From just two quasi identifiers! This is victim-blaming in place of data governance. Yet again, serious questions need asking about UK Biobank governance.

New and competitive renewal awards The fiscal year 2026 curve still lies well below the other curves. 1189 awards have been made in fiscal year 2026 compared to 2546 in fiscal year 2024 and 2322 in fiscal year 2025 through that same date (March 6th) 3/4

Operation Epic Fury Operation Epstein Files Operation Epic Failure. The president went to war with no plan.

NEW: US Treasury issued a general license for the delivery and sale of Russian oil loaded on vessels as of March 12. Moscow continues to be the single largest beneficiary of the Iran War.

"Fuck yeah" team America.

I drive electric. But the gas price in Maryland is ... Interesting

Putin's puppet.

Trump may or may not be a Russia puppet. But be damn operates like one. No more sanctions on Russia? So it can finance the war machine that supports Iran in killing Americans?

JUDGE GRANTS TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, HALTING PROGRESS ON WILLIAMSPORT, MD. DETENTION WAREHOUSE.

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards. Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

We are the "baddies". Everyone one involved should be on trial for war crime. As should everyone involved in the bombing of fisherman in the Caribbean and Pacific. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)

On PodCast Jay: "It’s unfortunate that he spends a significant amount of time either on rightwing podcasts or addressing rightwing conventions, and maybe finds time for NIH in between those appearances," - my colleague Shiv is right on! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

RFK Jr.'s Anti-Vax lies make his dangerous friends stronger. No one wants dangerous diseases. It's time to #ImpeachTheQuack ! #standupforscience #science #March7DC #March7

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted. What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards. Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

So. Much. Winning.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new American Ayatollah has been chosen.

The Senate has (finally) voted to reauthorize the small business SBIR/STTR program. Not reauthorized yet, but this was likely the biggest hurdle.

senator sheehy should be fired and arrested. what a fucking traitor.

Neguse: “Where's Safe America Media headquartered?” Noem: “I don’t know.” Neguse: “I don’t know either. We can't find it…You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that a $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquart

Shoutout to @27unihted.bsky.social for all their advocacy on the SBIR/STTR program.

Supporting the NIH fellows union. Which legally speaking DOES still exist. Regardless what the administration tries to claim.

Yay for @kristinhook.bsky.social TX21 leading the primary vote count with 60+% counted!

When gas hits $4/gallon, Trump will be calling Epstein news conferences to distract from his Iran adventure.

Wait. Who? What? Huh? www.politico.com/news/magazin...
