74,000 patients enrolled in clinical trials were affected.
You don’t terminate funding for clinical trials midway & “order” patient care to continue.
That’s not how it works.
I can’t tell whether Jay Bhattacharya is lying or just showing off his sparkling incompetence.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

The charges against protestors announced today by Bondi were very clearly done with producing #content as the first priority and law enforcement a distant second. The decision to wave mugshots around is already harming DOJ's credibility in court www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

NY Jets fan here. I’ve read recently that the Jets are the 3rd most profitable team in the NFL. The Jets suck. They’ve sucked for decades. Nearly every NFL team has passed thru a SB. The Jets are in their 57 year of rebuilding. Ownership doesn’t care. STOP BUYING TICKETS.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

We're really going to bomb Iran because they kill protestors. This is a thing that's going to happen. Irony possesses a particularly potent power to make people reflect upon their beliefs. That's why fascists shrilly howl when irony is used against them and why they imprison/execute the ironists.

Again, it is utterly shameful & demonstrates the total failure of all of our political institutions that threatening our closest NATO allies with territorial conquest has not immediately ended this presidency.
Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland
