Basically Dems got us: - Reversal of (some) RIFs ALREADY known as illegal - No new RIFs for a whopping 2 months - Guaranteed back pay that was already in statute. Nothing on healthcare. Nothing on impoundments. Nothing on the rest of the illegal firings. This was a capitulation.

Dick Durbin, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan. This cowardice keeps bullies beating on you. Caving now means the administration will never be open and willing to negotiate in the future. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE #fucktrump

A flyover of the Commanders' stadium is an excepted activity during the govt shutdown. Meanwhile, many fed employees in Prince George's County have to wait on food lines to feed their families. Fuck Trump! www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Dems just won a major set of elections, and Republicans are taking the blame for the shutdown according to polling. So why would we cave and give Republicans everything they want with no concessions? Would be such a waste of energy, taxpayer dollars, and political will. Please reconsider. #democrats

From Reddit: Prediction is that the gov will finally reopen after Dec 2nd. Right now Mike Johnson won’t open the House bc he’ll have to swear in AZ Democrat Adelina Grijalva. When he does, that’ll give the Dems enough votes to push for the release of the Epstein files. 1/

“When government employees enter public service, they do not sign away their First Amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his decision on Friday, "and they certainly do not sign up to be a billboard for any given administration's partisan views."

Just thinking out loud. What would the Christofascists think if they knew that their beloved NIH director made the namaste gesture when receiving the Brownstone medal?

How do we get our money back or fire these welfare queens?

The House of Representatives will not return next week either (district work week).

We are hiring an immunologist. This is a hard money position. We have a very robust research infrastructure. Rowan is rapidly growing, with 20,000+ undergrads, two med schools, and a vet school. Contact me for more details. jobs.rowan.edu/en-us/job/50...

NIH is hiring. If JD Vance slept with (oops... on) your couch or you are an avowed anti-vaxxer, apply for one of these IC Director or CEO positions. If the past is prologue, no search committee or interview required. Hurry! hr.nih.gov/careers/open...

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

🚨 Science + politics = propaganda The administration is holding publication of scientific papers. Example: a paper on research integrity. 📌 Research should be evaluated on evidence. When outside forces intervene, trust in system can suffer. ✅ Scientific transparency is important for public health.

SHAME!

❤️ my Feds across the US. “Government employees love helping the community. Even though they're like ‘how do I pay for my stuff?,’ they're still offering to help,” said Anna Culbertson of @27unihted.bsky.social. “I think there's something really beautiful to that.” www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! NIH staff are furloughed and cannot travel to SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS! Some are standing in food lines because they CANNOT AFFORD GROCERIES. Meanwhile, the director flew across the country to be lionized by the right wing. #FireJay www.importantcontext.news/p/nih-direct...

Someone please make a mashup with Jimmy Buffet's Volcano.

Aren’t they arguing that Biden’s pardons are invalid bc he had no idea who he was pardoning?? So…

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.

Just like they did with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, they fire a long-time civil servant because they don't like how their own actions make them look. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

I keep hearing Trump and Republicans say rising health care costs isn’t an urgent problem, but take a look at the price increases on the ACA exchange for the same insurance plans from 2025 to 2026. Millions of Americans are about to get screwed over with higher bills.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.

Fundraiser for Feeding America going on now!!

Bomb Iran, expect a Nobel Peace Prize. Destroy science, expect a Nobel Prize in Physics. Write "South Careddd," expect a Nobel Prize in Literature.

Hook 'em Bos taurus x Bos indicus! The bio major cheer at UT games.

We are seeking a senior tenured professor in our Department working on affective and/or motivational neuroscience (defined in the ad, but pretty broad). The idea is that this person is going help lead our growth in this area alongside our excellent Centers. jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/30693

Instead of governing Republicans try to deal with SNAP benefits by making up fake AI videos. They are SCUM!

It's a big ask to get him to take time away from right-wing podcasts and conventions. Good luck.

Here’s how federal workers can get financial assistance during the government shutdown

RFK Jr wants many children to die of measles. The centrist position of just letting A FEW children die of measles might sound clever if you've got worms in your brain, but I can promise that, "ZERO CHILDREN SHOULD DIE OF MEASLES" will win my vote.

@savehealthresearch.bsky.social writes, "99% of recent treatments are #NIH supported. Erica wants everyone to have the same opportunity she had to benefit from this new medicine. What treatments are we about to discover that could be lost, and who may have been given years more of life?"
