By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The President is disgusting and a disgrace.

And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout.

Keep speaking out. The power belongs to the people.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

Drug Monkey @drugmonkey.bsky.social · 1d

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

HELLody SchreiBOO @melodyschreiber.com · 6d

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.
