Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/
The Seattle Times "There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A. JOHNSON's account." Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead. That was for payments he'd received in December and January. Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled. He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is pretty remarkable. This is the government's own lawyer admitting he was "not able to get an answer" to extremely basic facts about how DOGE operates, which the court was obviously going to ask about. That is *profoundly weird*.

NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.
JUDGE: Who was the head of DOGE before Amy Gleason? GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I can’t answer that, I don’t know. JUDGE: I mean, that seems like a knowable fact, doesn’t it? GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m sure it is knowable; I just don’t know it. I’m very conscious of being accurate with the court…I just can’t make a representation. JUDGE: Have you asked anyone? GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I have not asked…actually, strike that. I have asked previously, and I was not able to get answer. JUDGE: Are you saying there was an administrator before Ms. Gleason? Or that there was nobody until this new person [Gleason] was put in? GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m not saying either, because I don’t know.

PFAS chemicals harm our health, and our utilities work hard to dispose of these substances.

I introduced a bipartisan bill to keep you and your water utility from bearing the cost of PFAS cleanup, and instead help ensure chemical producers are held to account.

Telling Ukraine that “they should have never started [the war]” is so brazenly dishonest and morally bankrupt, it defies reason.

This is strategic deception, meant to manufacture doubts about the facts.

More evidence-framing dynamics: "They’re running the ‘Twitter Files’ playbook against the entire U.S. gov't. The claims are a bunch of half-baked conspiracy theories built around idiotic misinterpretations and intentional mischaracterizations of bits of data and out-of-context communications."

We wrote about how Musk is using X as a propaganda tool to demonize each of the agencies and programs that DOGE targets for cuts, providing air cover for his engineers' incursions — with the truth as collateral damage.
