I think I realized why I like packing for trips so much it’s because of my love of making lists and crossing things off lists

The Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has been published by the CDC every week since 1960. It’s relied upon for up-to-date health info by health agencies worldwide.

That is, until today. The administration gagged it—along with every other federal health agency.

This isn’t normal.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

When the tik tok ban happens, will we still be able to see our likes and saves?

For the next 4 years, I highly suggest folks tighten their belts and spend as little as possible, except for food, utilities, rent, etc.

After riding the coattails of President Biden's AMAZING economy for his first 6 months in office, trump is going to destroy it with his dumb policies.
