Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X.

This agency has saved Americans billions.

DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

I know a lot is happening right now, but a virus wont wait for a good time to spillover. It's just a matter of probability.

Hopefully CDC can get the word out and respond if it does happen.😷
A second H5N1 variant D1.1 is now spreading in cows in the U.S.

According to WHO this variant has a 50% CFR in >800 human cases globally.

Epidemiologists thought this wouldn't happen and say it raises the pandemic risk.

Consider buying N95s for an emergency kit.😷

In my community. When I taught ESL years ago I knew students past and present that received free English tutoring. I knew teachers and retired teachers that taught them. A dear friend and former employee works for this organization. Wonderful people.
Shame on Repubs!
