Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Some more info.
1) Per a friend that works in NY state government, NY cities are required to hold funds in commercial banks. So this was a private bank account, not one controlled by Treasury.
2) Per NYDN the inbound wire was dated Feb 4; wires are one-way, they can't just be undone a week later.

Well at least when we all die of the next horrible plague no one will see it coming till there are corpses in the streets.
CDC source:
“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.
They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Republicans are doing this because they want gay men and transgender women to contract HIV. They believe that dying of AIDS is a deserved punishment for having gay sex, just as they think that forced childbirth is a deserved punishment for sexually active women. This is not especially complicated.
Sorry, but we now have a once-per-six-months PrEP injection with a 96% efficacy in reducing HIV infections, and the response is to limit PrEP to only pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers? What?!
It's going to be much more expensive to provide lifelong treatment than work on prevention.

I need you to call Senator Dr. Bill Cassidy, telling him to NOT confirm RFK Jr for Health Secretary.
He’s a swing vote!
It took 40 seconds of my time to call. I left a voicemail. His staff tallies the calls.
He’s a vote that can be flipped:
- he’s a doctor
- pro-vaccine🧵

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Democrats' playbook for Trump 2.0: Tune out the noise and focus on economic issues
As Trump floods the zone in his first week in office, Democrats are departing from their "resistance" strategy in his first term and zeroing in on issues that cost them the last election.

One of the big failings of public education around National Socialism in the US is its elevation into a kind of world-historical monstrosity. It dehumanizes the political agents of Nazism in a way that removes them from the rest of humanity, like a kind of miracle of evil or genius of villainy.
