Dom Lucre was suspended from Twitter for posting brutal child pornography / child murder videos. Elon Musk personally reinstated him. A White House visit for this felon is unthinkable.

National Institute of Justice has pulled funding.

At what point do the national media start treating this as an assault of federally funded research across the board, or at least, funding is reserved only for politically approved topics?

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause.
Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.
I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.

This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

So just to be clear these Paramount Executives are discussing paying money to the incoming president of the united states with the specific intention of influencing an official action of the government?
Holy cow. Executives at CBS’s parent company have discussed settling Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News/60 Minutes, because they need the Trump administration to sign off on a planned corporate merger. www.wsj.com/business/med...

My office was glad to offer Inauguration tickets to constituents and I’m sorry that the traditional ceremony will no longer occur.

There will be a livestream available for those who have traveled to Washington and still wish to watch from the Capital One Arena. 2/

Fraudulent bathroom rug head Russian agent Rand Paul introduced an amendment to raise the Social Security retirement age to 70. It failed miserably with a 3-93 vote.

This has been growing for a decade now. Influencer gurus are a focus of my 📖, the Decoding the Gurus pod, Conspirituality, etc.

They know how to talk to their audiences & they aren’t constrained by professional ethics or reality. Also they make💰. That’s it.
