Sinners was definitely 10/10 🤩 I wish we would’ve watched it in IMAX.

And just like that…
Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??

Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

CISA's funding for MITRE's CVE catalogue of software vulnerabilities that underlies security practices globally ends after tomorrow. Both MITRE and CISA told me they working on a fix to keep the constantly updated flow going. Big vendors and other countries might be asked to help.

I boosted several posts about this already, but since people keep asking if I've seen it....

MITRE has announced that its funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program and related programs, including the Common Weakness Enumeration […]

After House Republicans, who were not elected by DC residents, released a CR that would force DC to make a projected $1B in cuts to local spending, including to DC police and schools, I filed an amendment to correct this potentially catastrophic issue.

The Continuing Resolution would require the District to immediately cut $1 billion from a local budget that is already balanced — forcing deep cuts to police, firefighters, trash collection, homelessness services, and schools. It hurts everyone's goal of a safer and stronger DC.
It's shaping up to be a *very bad week* for D.C. The draft congressional spending bill to avert a federal shutdown would force D.C. to trim $945 million from its current fiscal year budget, which would spark immediate cuts to programs and staff. From @murray.senate.gov:

This is a five-alarm fire 🔥 for US science 🧪.
(We keep saying that, but it keeps being true 😭.)

Trump and Musk are blocking *ALL* NIH grants ‼️ by "exploiting a loophole in the process"—stopping study sections & council meetings.

Every biomedical researcher in the country should be screaming. 1/
NEW: The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep funding frozen at the NIH - a move that some legal scholars say is illegal.

Federal Register notices are blocked, so no grant-review sessions can be scheduled.

All the gritty details here, and a short 🧵:

Ugh. This makes me angry and sad. I love the Kennedy Center. No surprise that he is going after the arts too.

I will be supporting drag shows (and art from various marginalized groups in general) at other venues open to the general public.
Trump says he’s fired the chairman of the Kennedy Center and named himself chairman.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
