People who advocate for electing the president by popular really are saying that federalism shouldn't matter - largely because they like the way that big cities would control elections. (For now.) This is dumb, especially now, when federalism has been a godsend.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Infectious disease scientists are amazing humans!!
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an antiviral chewing gum that may help reduce the spread of viruses. In lab studies, it cut down viral loads of two herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and two influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) by more than 95%. 🧪🧵⬇️

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

He says here that "he'll act quickly to correct mistakes." Has he publicly corrected his 'condoms for Gaza' mistake? Apologized? How about Trump seated a few feet away, who claimed Hamas made bombs from US condoms? Any correction? Apology?
Of course not.

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

More than 21 million American adults lack easy access to a passport or birth certificate. Requiring these documents to register to vote could disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans — which, of course, is the GOP’s intent.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Incredible stuff. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham spent yesterday blasting Rev. Budde and claiming the cathedral had been “taken over by gay activists” — unaware that Trump had frozen a refugee program that Graham supports, and was one of the things Budde was referencing in her sermon.

1) chimps DO develop cancer.
2) Chimps have different expression of tumor suppressor genes.
3) chimps have different length of telomeres—“caps” that protect DNA.
4) chimps live to ~40 years. Median age of cancer in humans is 61.
Oh — and humans are NOT chimps.
Hope this helps! 🙃
