This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

This would absolutely work, and is a good general reminder that much of politics (more than I’d like) is lowbrow. Turning the other cheek may get you into heaven, but here on Earth it’s a loser. www.offmessage.net/p/politics-i...

I wonder if him and Jesse Watters’ mom meet up at the world’s worst sons support group.
