Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

More updates on what’s happening to federally funded US science. Roughly the same magic touch Trump has brought to world trade, actually.
Today’s examples are on drug-resistant gonorrhea and vaccine approvals, both of which are going to hell.

Gee, I wonder what that study on vaccines and autism will show www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
"Geier and his father, Mark Geier, have published papers claiming vaccines increase the risk of autism, a theory that has been studied for decades and scientifically debunked."

Took me 3 minutes to call both of my Senators and my representative. Just do it.
I hate phone calls, and I have GOP reps, but I made the calls: "It's unconstitutional--Congress has the power of the purse. I urge Senator Curtis to oppose this power grab. Even if he agrees about certain funds, it's not worth abandoning the checks and balances at the foundation of our republic."
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.
If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.
