Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…
You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.
But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.
It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Honestly do the analysts ever talk to real people? Anyone who actually works for a living has know this for at least a year.
I applied to over 300 jobs last spring, all of which I was qualified for, and got 4 interviews. I'm still getting auto deny form emails a year later...
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
To be clear: most officers in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps retire at O-5 or O-6.
She wouldn’t qualify to apply — but we’re supposed to salute her as an O-9?
A slap in the face to every officer who actually earned it.
Still time: call your senators. Vote NO.
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
Ya think?
Khanna: I think that there was some sexism in the way Secretary Clinton was treated. She was treated worse than President Clinton was treated.
When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.
i dont know if its always been like this but among the elites theres just no sense of responsibility to be good stewards of the society thats given them everything
Jesus. Netflix calls it quits, the Ellisons and Paramount will get all of Warner, including CNN. Bari Weiss's sphere of influence grows. And no matter what you think of CNN or news in general, it's a big legacy brand with a lot of reach, that will now shift rightwards pretty hard.
FIFA Peace Prize winner Trump is threatening another devastating war of choice in the Middle East over a nuclear program he claims to have obliterated last year.
Don’t let your elected officials dodge responsibility for what’s next. The Constitution puts the power to declare war in Congress’ hands.
A personal story about an investigator who is being put through the wringer. It hurts staff as much as it’s hurting the investigators. We aren’t getting any more clarity on our end.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.
Netflix has dropped out of the Warner Bros. Discovery bidding, clearing the way for Trump-aligned David Ellison’s Paramount to move forward.
If the deal goes through, Ellison could take control of CNN, HBO, and much more, amid deep ties between the Ellisons and the Trump White House.
Good article. Though I am dismayed that writers are just now realizing there is a pro-infection movement. I mean...
He's friends with the head of the NIH/CDC.
Lawyers for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell.
... Because, after all, she doesn't want to lose her leverage.
A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.
So beyond calling it a “constitutional crisis,” what actually happens when a president simply says no to a Supreme Court decision
Screenshot from an NIH website reading: "Table 1 shows the number of principal investigators (PIs) applying for or receiving an R01-equivalent grant in FYs 2021 to 2025, disaggregated by career stage. NIH supported 1,423 and 1,144 ESIs in FYs 2024 and 2025, respectively. The decrease seen in FY 2025 may likely be due in part to NIH implementing a requirement to use 50% of its remaining competing Research Project Grant (RPG) funds (starting in June 2025) for full-year funded competing RPGs, which was expected to lead to fewer awards and support fewer researchers overall."
Check this out straight from the NIH website, acknowledging that multiyear funding was likely responsible for a 20% decrease in early stage investigators.
And that it was expected.
A strange approach for someone so committed to the next generation of scientists.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.
Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.
As well as everyone else who stepped up.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
Career communications staff at the Dept of Labor were ignored and many resigned when a 21 year old starting posting white nationalist meme. Now he is going to DHS. This is who prospers under the clicktatorship.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
