It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Project 2025’s proposed new rule will destroy peer review and cement political control of all manner of federal grants across the country. It takes about two minutes to send a letter of opposition, a little longer if you personalize the text. Links below w/ thanks to @gregggonsalves.bsky.social

“Evidence suggests that AI-driven ‘deskilling’ is starting to happen in medicine, computer science and other fields. Researchers are now discussing how to preserve important human expertise in the age of AI. “ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It's Thursday and Russell Vought is still trying to take over all federal grant making, put it under his thumb and political control. It's a mad power grab. We need to stop it. Click on this and write a letter to your members of Congress. And share, share, share. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

AND everyone can submit comments on the rule until 13 July. Read this on how to submit. Federal grants affect us all. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne...

OMB is planing to end peer review by allowing political appointees to override funding decisions. It takes 3 minutes to submit a public comment. DO IT HERE fight2win.standupforscience.net?utm_source=o...

This is the end of American science and innovation. Russell Vought is the angel of death who is presiding over this abomination of a OMB regulation.

If you want to see the hugely positive effect of the leadership of the National Academies of Science in shying away from topics that are deemed controversial based on partisan positions, here you go... 1/3

Because @nationalacademies.org decided to bend the knee and host a session with Jay Bhattacharya and some of his fellow travelers, they tarnished a meeting on the important topic of scientific integrity even before it began. 1/

Is it possible to quit an advisory committee that was already disbanded by the order of a federal judge? Robert Malone tests the hypothesis in his new quest for a drama free life

If I were @umpamdk.bsky.social there wouldn’t be enough tea bourbon in the world to take the edge off of declaring my quisling status and then looking forward to an engaging and intellectually provocative discourse!

Yeah like DEI you know it was like what the EO said and we would like refer to the language in the EO to um like decide which grants to like terminate

“… we are proud that Casey Means, MD, has been nominated to serve as the United States Surgeon General.” bookmarking this one not because it’s surprising — see scott atlas and jay bhattacharya — but because Woke 2 will not forget the collaborators

New preprint from our Gates-funded Modjadji initiative showing that whole-genome surveillance of measles virus from wastewater greatly expands our ability for monitoring and control. Here, with our colleagues in South Africa - U.S., unfortunately, likely up next. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

New in PN: Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid "Trump has brought us fascism, he is threatening war and violence. But it is all too possible that his most lasting and horrific legacy, in his second term as in his first, will be plague."

Wow.

Read the Save HHS open letter! www.savehhs.org/letter-we-wi...

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

If you think beef prices are high now, wait until this gets to the US

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Let's be clear about this: PEOPLE WILL DIE. It will take years, though, as chronic HepB infection manifests its impact insidiously later in life. But people will die. Unnecessarily, as this is a vaccine with a remarkably good safety profile. JFC.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.

“None of this is complicated. [They] ran on affordability in 2024. They gave sanctimonious lectures on cable news on election night about how the ‘silent working class majority’ had spoken. Then they governed as reckless authoritarians, punishing the working class.” @tbonier h/t @hcrichardson
