Ned Johnson had the unfortunate experience of being caught in DOGE’s conspiracy crosshairs. Labeled dead & collecting social security, he had $5,201 taken from his bank account.

I found a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

“I find it odious when the world’s richest man cackles about America shoving programs for needy children “into the wood chipper.”
When you meet those dying children and look into their eyes and hold their hands and feel faint heartbeats flutter, you can’t bear the gleeful laughter.”

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

These “moderate” Democrats are marching our country to the gallows with their actions while proclaiming themselves mighty fighters with their words.
Trump, Musk, and DOGE would use the power of a shutdown to shift into overdrive.
And the courts, one of our best places to fight these autocrats, could quickly run out of money.
We can’t let this happen.

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.
I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning.
Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues

Before lawmakers swear an oath to the Constitution, perhaps they should be required to read it
Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop DOGE layoffs affecting people in his state. Says said he found out about budget cuts impacting Alaska "on Twitter" and "had no idea these things were going on" in advance.
