Haha I can’t imagine putting this rat in water maze test. Definitely will be part of the lobotomized group.
Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

MAHA lobotomized guru, Kennedy canceled 500 million dollars for the development of mRNA vaccines including bivalent mRNA COVID-influenza vaccines. This article illustrates one more time the stupidity of him and all the other morons skeptical of COVID mRNA vaccines. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Cancelling mRNA studies is the highest irresponsibility
The rest of the world is not following the US government’s dangerous path, and will stick with the technology that helped the world out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

@sofkazinovieff.bsky.social @julianhoffman.bsky.social Just finished listening to this as was preparing my lesson to graduate students tomorrow. Was wonderful listening to two great writers about their experiences leaving and writing about Greece.

In his effort to unders..he learned these oft-cited projections: more than 200,000 people will die each year from preventable medical errors. He was shocked. Conservatively, these estimates amount to at least one fatal Boeing 747 crash per week, Terblanche calculated. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/w...

I did not like this guy but seems to be the only Democrats with balls these days.
“Newsom declared that the state of California will pull funding from any university that caves to Trump’s extortion gambit. This is the right path for Democrats. Where they control levers of power, they should use them to create counterincentives.”

Amazing universities these days run by Lilliputians.
After a "suspension" of just a few days, UNC Professor Dwayne Dixon is re-instated, revealing the weakness of the fabricated issues used for the suspension. Here is his response. Stand up to the fascists--when we work together we can triumph.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
