I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

A critical moment for human rights accountability internationally is when a country's record of compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is reviewed by the independent experts on the UN Human Rights Committee. It comes around about once per decade. 1/10

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. Thatâs it.

There wasnât a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirkâs death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Muellerâs death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

What's terrifying about the precedent about this case is that Depp was a public figure. It's much harder for famous people to win defamation cases than it is for private figures to do the same.

Seriously I'm so tired of this passive voice framing, as though the hospital bed crunch and the dearth of home care and primary care resources were some sort of natural disaster. The people we elected made this choice. Over and over again. For decades.

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them. Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

You know what pisses me off about the announcement by Oz and Makary, now disproven, that leucovorin could treat autism? Itâs the false hope given to people with autism and those who love them. If youâve ever had a kid with a complex condition and youâre desperate for help, you are vulnerable.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didnât drop the rod. WTF

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

I am reminded every winter that it costs more to provide healthcare for winter related health complications of homelessness ( frost bite, complex amputations, infectious complications) than to provide warm safe shelter for the homeless. Becoming homeless could happen to almost anyone.
