Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

The entire reason this press conference happened is because Trump wanted the world to see him sitting at the Resolute Desk and not Elon. It was 100% about his vanity.

Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

This may be the last annual report of its kind for a while, I do expect that US Climate Science will be silenced.

Over the next decade, The United States could lose significantly more in damages and economic losses due to climate change than the profits generated by the oil and gas industry.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:
