A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Welcome to America in 2025, where the last bastions of journalistic integrity are a tech magazine, a music magazine, and a teen fashion magazine.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

there is a chasm between the language democrats use in fundraising spam and what they actually say when speaking to the press.

We need more stories like this showing the immediate human costs of Trump's deliberate destruction of the NIH wapo.st/44ntbo4
His custom cancer therapy is in an NIH freezer. He may not get it in time.
The purge of probationary federal workers included skilled lab personnel who would have finalized a customized cell immunotherapy for cancer patients.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”
They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.
And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

I’ve been told some academic centers are telling their faculty not to speak up. In case anyone was wondering, injustice has never been overcome through silence. You can choose to speak up, or you can be complicit in the oppression.
Everyone has a choice. May we all choose wisely.
