He literally tweeted this out.

Shouldn’t $5 million in tax evasion = removal from office and immediate transfer to prison?

This is unacceptable and every member of the house, senate and judiciary should make that absolutely clear.
Now Trump is weaponizing the FBI to go after the Members of Congress who spoke out against him.

The President is corrupt and none of us should back down in the face of these intimidation tactics.
Last night, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video President Trump did not like.

Nicht gut. Real data is needed for real science.
GFAP/NeuN/DAPI localization seem consistent with published data unfortunately (see below)

Time to get your public comments in on the proposed Waters of the U.S. rule that would strip protections for countless wetlands and streams.

Trout unlimited has a tool on their page that will automatically send your message to the EPA as well as your representatives:

While dying, she is standing up for science funding and the National Institutes of Health which is being attacked by RFK Jr., the man who is making therapies and cures for what is killing her, more difficult or impossible.
Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia.

Amoebas have scales????
Weird word of the day: "kleptosquamy." The testate amoeba Awerintzewia cyclostoma steals scales from other amoeboid organisms to build its own shell. This one has robbed Quadrulella, Netzelia, various euglyphids, and even an Acanthocystis. Kleptosquamy! #amoebae #ProtistsOnSky #biology #nature

Either:

1) Those in the Trump administration who are pursuing this suit do not know history, or…

2) Those in the Trump administration who are pursuing this suit know the history of govt. lists of Jews very well.

Either option is terrifying.

There is no reason for them to collect this information

And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of of the blatant miscarriage of sensibility and fair elections that is the Citizens United decision by a Supreme Court that threw our democracy under the bus.
No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

So now Elon is going to start killing people in Arizona with unsupervised autonomous driving.
"without safety monitors"???
The company received a ride-hailing permit from the state’s Department of Transportation, allowing it to offer paid rides.

This is a horrible way to manage population growth….
That’s just crazy talk.

The implications for public health will reverberate for generations.
A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say they don’t want to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine. This is roughly identical to the share who said in October 2024 that they probably wouldn’t get the updated vaccine.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

All of us in science should be thinking about how we can contribute from local public outreach all the way to re-establishing coherent national science policy.
I hope someone is making plans to rebuild all our national science institutions when this nightmare is finally over

NM is taking a big leap on this. It is a great idea. I hope this really, really works and leads to greater investment in working families in NM and beyond.
Free daycare would be life changing for my middle class family so I know that low income families in NM are greatly benefiting from statewide free daycare. It just makes so much sense. I need Maryland to get on that immediately.

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

This is a big, big deal.

Huge.

Also: this is why we need to be aggressively funding science.
"Remarkably, the bacterium that makes methylenomycin A and pre-methylenomycin C lactone -- Streptomyces coelicolor -- is a model antibiotic-producing species that's been studied extensively since the 1950s. Finding a new antibiotic in such a familiar organism was a real surprise." 🧪
British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo

Thank you for sharing the beautiful avian retina image. The complexity of the avian and reptilian retina is mind boggling.
Ending my #FluorescenceFriday with this beautiful avian retina image depicting the beautiful stratification in the avian eyes.
This is where complexity meets art.

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

Don't negotiate with terrorists, or anyone who is not at the table in good faith.

Also, punch bullies as hard as you can punch them. That is how you deal with bullies.

Just called Senator @schumer.senate.gov and told him he is a disgrace, that I don’t care that he negotiated a public “no” to save his own ass, and if he can’t keep the caucus together on something as basic as healthcare for millions, he needs to immediately resign as minority leader. 202-224-6542
