The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant
Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.
“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Senator Strom Thurmond’s filibuster record of 24hrs and 18 mins was to stop the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
Today Cory Booker broke that record to stand up for our rights and freedoms. Whether you think it’s a waste of time or not, you have to respect the power in the historical moment!

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

If you or a loved one live in the Southern US, especially TX or New Mexico and are unaware of your Measles vaccine status, take the step to get your measles titers drawn to confirm protection.
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Measles vaccines, the need for boosters, and what to know given spikes in cases nationwide.
We covered this topic back in the fall and resharing the segment here. Also, sharing a few bullets on Measles boosters:

Meanwhile in Russia: Sergey Mikheyev says that in light of the Trump administration's express intent to abandon NATO allies in case they intervene in Ukraine, Russia should strike Brussels, London and Paris. Vladimir Solovyov wholeheartedly agrees.

Trump's "mandate" isn't as robust as Biden's was in 2020. What's often happening is that he (and his allies) are conflating the 2024 shift with support — a shift that is in part a reversion of the 2020 shift to the left.

Column | Trump’s 2024 ‘mandate’ isn’t as robust as Biden’s was in 2020
The outcome of the 2024 election looks like a mix of 2000 and 2004, not 2008 or even 2020.
