Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."

Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

"If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes. CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism."-Bill Cassidy when he confirmed RFK Jr. in February 2025
CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

"There’s a faction of DOGE that wants to hide from PPO, delete the DOGE brand, and burrow in the government to protect themselves. I think we should be doing all of the opposite things." - the IDF-trained Yinon Weiss (@yinonw on X), when he was still the top DOD DOGE goon

@wedefendthevote.org is the giant effort to ensure the Democratic Party remains a tool of corporate America by backing the most corporate-friendly, hackish Democrats in primaries across the nation. Their endorsement should be considered an anti-endorsement if you want the Schumer-Jeffries era to end

And this is just the reported spending. Political expenditures like, say, buying Twitter are not listed here.

Exactly this. Also Trump will go back to talking trash in a minute.

The truly impressive thing is how Congressional Democrats have the reverse instincts when it comes to winners.
The thing that matters most to Trump is being perceived as a winner. If he's alongside a winner, he will happily destroy months of Republican talking points to be "in" with the winner. It's that simple.
