As a result of President Trump’s suspension of foreign aid, hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies arrived late at regional warehouses in dozens of countries.
Many did not arrive at all. The consequences were deadly. https://wapo.st/4mEo6NZ

RFKJ, will there be enough staff at SAMHSA to answer our calls since you fired most of them?
And which part of our work is important? COVID vaccines? Violence prevention (also fired).
We don’t need your platitudes. We need you to stop telling lies that are putting our lives in danger.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.
