Just got our NOA! Our P01 was funded! A big effort to identify modifier genes and drugs for congenital disorders of glycosylation. Excited to get to work!

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.

That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

So… what about hospitals?
SCOOP—Trump plans to issue an executive order designating fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per copy of EO reviewed by me. Source at State speculates purpose is to designate cartels as terrorist orgs/justify military ops in Mexico/Canada.

The specific quote from General John DeWitt, justifying Japanese internment: “The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.”
Just like in WW2 when some argued the lack of subversive activity by Japanese-Americans indicated they were plotting something big.
2/ This does not instill confidence that the Government has accurately or properly identified individuals under the Alien Enemies Act:

Government declaration:

"[T]he lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose."
