Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The majority of #mpox cases in the DRC in the past few weeks have been children. They are more likely to get severely sick and die. But they are not eligible for the vaccines being rolled out.

Here's a stunner for #FossilFriday, just look at that beetle's preserved wing case! It belongs to a group called frog-legged leaf beetles (so-named for their extra-juicy rear legs), paleontologists called its pattern "the most perfectly preserved pigment-based colouration known in fossil beetles" 🧪
49 million-year-old beetle looks like it was squashed yesterday
Paleontologists named the insect "Attenborough's Beauty," after Sir David Attenborough.
