Twelve people with type 1 diabetes who received an investigational off-the-shelf stem cell therapy were able to produce their own insulin and keep healthy blood glucose levels for at least one year. www.statnews.com/2025/06/20/s...

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Three-decades long study into prediabetes and diabetes appears to have gotten caught in the Trump administration-Columbia University crossfire.
Hard to see how this jibes with making America healthy again. www.statnews.com/2025/03/17/t...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

A reminder that the measles vaccine is not available until 1 years old. We depend heard immunity (everyone else vaccinated) to keep babies safe.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.”

Judge Advocates General.

He’s fired the top military lawyers in each service.

Important observation by @natashabertrand.bsky.social.⬇️

Now ask yourself, why would Secretary Hegseth and President Trump want to remove the most senior military lawyers?

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.
