New piece on why it’s unhelpful to characterise COVID debate as ‘lockdowns are bad’ vs ‘lockdowns are good’ when it was really about people who claimed that COVID was 100x less fatal than it was + optimal to have a massive epidemic immediately before vaccine… vs those who sense checked these claims.

President Trump is reactivating the USS Constitution. Old Ironsides will be back in the game!
He's so close to ordering the Pentagon to re-open the Alamo, including its very tremendous basement.
Trump says he’s ordered DOJ and DHS to reopen and expand Alcatraz.

After DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia tried to log in, Berulis stated.
Whoever attempted to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis.

The NSF's flagship fellowship program typically gives offers to 2,000+ young scientists. This year, in the face of looming budget cuts, that number was halved: only 1,000 received an offer. Our story on what that means for the science talent pipeline: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

About once a week I think about the lifelong Democrat I spoke to in South Carolina who almost voted for Trump because of “the economy”. This past week I’ve thought of her multiple times a day. I hope she takes solace that her vote for Harris *was* a vote for a strong economy. And I hope she’s ok.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.
