"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.'

But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women."

A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

A strong statement from the head of Voice of America, who points out that Trump‘s move to silence this important journalistic entity will help the tyrannical governments of Russia, China, Iran, and other repressive states. This is not America First; this is the abandonment of democracy.

Thanks, MAGA.
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Today at a Foreign Affairs Committee briefing on USAID I asked Trump's head of USAID Pete Marocco, as the overseer of democracy and free elections programming globally, whether he was at the Capitol on January 6th.

He refused to say no.
Closely approaching the Streisand effect.

🚨This is their 2nd attempt at removing this image🚨

Why don't they want you to see this pic of Trump appointee Pete Marocco and wife, Merritt Corrigan, before they crawl through a broken Capitol window?

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.
