As a Marine Classified Materials Controller I was trained by the best. This absolute shitshow of a security breach is an embarrassment at best. Secretary Hegseth should resign and let someone with merit and skill run DOD.

Don’t worry. Chuck Schumer says he rides an exercise bike at the gym next to republicans who privately say they disagree with all this
We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

My action item for the week is about measles. Super contagious & awful. Those of us born between 1957 & 1989 got less effective childhood vaccinations.
So I’m getting my MMR boost Monday - join me!
And then talk to your people about it. Vaccine science & scicomm are urgent priorities.

Anyway, to my IMMENSE surprise, the blood test was *negative* for measles immunity! 😱 Apparently I’m one of the unlucky few for whom the vaccine wore off, for unknowable reasons. So today I got a new MMR shot, and next month I’ll get a second. I’m very glad I checked!

This morning I was talking with a group of senior scientists about this. It makes us feel like raving conspiracists just by explaining the bare facts. The most sober read out sounds like hyperbole and catastrophizing. It’s not.
I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency

Devastating for US researchers. Today I also saw that Pfizer’s CEO thinks the opportunities with Trump ‘clearly outweigh’ the risks for pharma. Where does pharma think all the new discoveries will be made? The shortsightedness is ASTOUNDING
The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.
