Yup. RFK perjured himself in front of Congress and they didn't care. MAGA won't have to worry about vaccine mandates because they are destroying the research that leads to vaccines. God help us when the next pandemic hits... it'll make COVID look like a case of the hiccups.

If you believe the government can do this, then imagine the next Democrat in office deporting Musk.

I can't understand why anyone would want their government to have this power, unless you never intended to relinquish power.

And it only matters if Congress stands up and uses their power. Will they challenge the Dear Leader? I think not.

Ok, we need to hold him to that deliverable. Show us the evidence of these fraudulent payments and how much you saved us.

Flatly illegal is becoming a cliche. More illegal actions from this administration than legal ones. It's starting to feel like that doesn't matter anymore.

It's not even anti-education, per se. Liberty University's funding is secure, believe it. It's about retribution. The administration has made intimidation and threats their primary form of communication.

I want you to be wrong. But wanting doesn't make it true.

Also hearing Phase 1 RIFs are targeting around 25% of staff. (That's based on one extramural division, so take it with a grain of salt.)

Put the blame where it belongs – with the administration. The NIH didn't decide to cancel these grants; the administration did, fired anyone at NIH who stood in their way, and installed a yes man in Memoli.

Typical Trump move: stiff contractors after they've already done the work. The SCOTUS dissenting opinion – that it's acceptable for the US government to not pay for work already performed – is shocking. Akin to defaulting on the debt.

The administration's response is akin to injecting bleach to treat an infection. Sure, it'll kill the virus. The fact that it kills the patient is an inconvenient side-effect.

Because racism and sexism is endemic in our society. The backlash against DEIA proves it.

Make America Healthy Again by deregulating food additives and stopping inspections at plants and farms... what's so hard to understand about that?
