No big deal, just missing the deadline to continue a program that costs the equivalent of a rounding error and has saved millions of lives around the world.

Letting PEPFAR quietly die will cause at least 1 million new HIV infections per year and hundreds of thousands of annual deaths.
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has been a global health success story, credited with saving more than 26 million lives.

As of March 25, however, PEPFAR's congressional reauthorization has expired, raising key questions about its future. ✍️: @jirairratevosian.bsky.social

Her name is Rumeysa Ozturk, she's a student from Turkey, and even her lawyer doesn't know where she is right now.
Ozturk's attorney tells me they still have no idea where she is. ICE says only that she is in the agency's custody. www.salon.com/2025/03/26/d...

Dept Homeland Security just interrupted my <speaker product> curated radio station FOR KIDS with a threat to undocumented US residents: leave now or “we will find you” and then thanked the Trump administration for finally “securing the border.” State-controlled media added to democratic violations.

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.
Hundreds of research grants at Columbia canceled following Trump edict, administrator says
The National Institutes of Health is terminating 232 grants for scientific research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, according to an email an administrator sent to faculty.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

The Regime has banned CDC staff from authorship on any publications that include authors or funding from the World Health Organization. They have been instructed to remove their name from any work that has already been submitted. This is a grotesque and harmful order that makes the U.S. less safe.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?
