NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

From the ranking Democrat on Appropriations. Don’t let the GOP ever say they support our vets. Musk’s DOGE is gutting the VA. Republicans are targeting billions that was supposed to go to victims of Agent Orange and burn pits. All to pay for tax cuts for the uber wealthy.

Meals On Wheels is now trying to decide if they can deliver meals to homebound elderly people tomorrow because they are federally funded and now have NO funding. These people have no food stocked in their homes and rely on MOW.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:
