The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.
The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary.

“We didn’t know”
“Nobody told us”
“He promised he wouldn’t…”

This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.

Biomedical research isn't a YouTube video, you cannot hit pause for an indefinite period of time and then hit play whenever the regime wants.

Samples are destroyed, labs dismantled, scientists leave...
Here's what this means: it's probably unlawful forPOTUS to stop NIH funds from going to medical research, but POTUS can stop that medical research for a lengthy period of time while the Court of Federal Claims hears lawsuits

This, essentially, destroys the capacity for medical research in the US
Splitting 5-4 (with Chief Justice Roberts joining the three Democratic appointees in dissent), #SCOTUS grants *partial* stay to Trump administration in NIH funding case; holds that challenges to grant terminations (but *not* the underlying guidance) need to be filed in the Court of Federal Claims:

Good fucking lord, cesium-137 contamination? Of shrimp? How? WHY?

TLDR: the known-contaminated shrimp was stopped at ports, but Walmart did import other lots of shrimp after that date that *may* also be… er, hot. I’m definitely going to be watching this investigation, because what the crap.

Philip Larkin said "What will survive of us is love," but research based on previous collapsing civilizations suggests it's more likely to be inorganic items that can be buried, burned, or struck without significant degradation. Likely what will survive of us is ceramic toilets.

One of the last signs of civilization left in this wretched country is your sandwich comes with a complimentary pickle, so that your pickle friend can ask if you want your pickle and you can push your plate over for them to take it.

The VA is down 600 doctors and about 1,900 nurses so far this year, the first time the agency has seen net losses in years.

At several facilities, more than a third of the positions for doctors are unfilled.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Good news!
Book bans that discriminate against a protected group (gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) are now officially illegal in Oregon libraries. The new law also provides technical support for librarians facing inappropriate book challenges.

'a new version that's supposed to explode less' 😂
NASASpaceflight is apparently saying that test articles for the upcoming V3 Starship booster, a new version that's supposed to explode less, was on a test stand at this site and is also probably scrap metal now too. So this not only blew up the one for this month, but a *future* one too.
