I just emailed my "Silence" essay to the Presidents/Chancellors and Provosts of the 9 Compact universities as well as those from the 4 orgs with which I have been formally affiliated.

Many people noticed plainlanguage.gov was migrated to digital.gov/topics/plain..., where it has been *consolidated*.

Our friends at @alt18f.bsky.social posted a version of the original content at plainlanguage.18f.org

Unlike other sites that have disappeared, this one just changed.

Russell Vought tells Trump we need MORE COWBELL -- with cowbell meaning everything on the Project 2025 agenda! When Vought tells Trump to do something, he delivers. Who is really running the government?

Made with apologies to Saturday Night Live.

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

And, so the RIFs begin. The US Patent and Trademark Office is not affected by a government shutdown, because they are funded by user fees. That means these RIFs are not due to the shutdown. The timing is either coincidental, or the shutdown is being used as a smokescreen.

The US Patent and Trademark Office laid off certain employees early Wednesday as a part of a reduction-in-force plan, according to multiple sources.

The fiscal year is over.

So how was the NIH appropriation committed?

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern.

Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

A new email to Director Bhattacharya this morning.

1/n
Dear Director Bhattacharya: I listened to more of your conversation with Glenn Beck. You made a number of statements that are false and misleading. You have considerable responsibilities in your current position and need to live up to them. You dismiss critics of President Trump's comments at the press conference by saying: "I think the key point here is something called "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

While this administration holds a theatrical press conference spreading alarmist disinformation about autism and Tylenol, it’s also quietly telling physicians to ignore what they say.
This is just an FYI that this is the communication that was sent out to physicians in the U.S. about the acetaminophen-autism "announcement" this week. This letter might as well have stated ...

“The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.”

As the admin continues to purport to have found environmental causes of autism (& pretend to care about nutrition), I find myself thinking a lot the failed National Children's Study. There's a push to have answers w/o reckoning w the reality of the studies we haven't done

It's very bizarre that the admin pursued a leucovorin indication for children with cerebral folate deficiency and autism symptoms, not for general autism. CFD is rare and the diagnosis is confirmed by measuring folate levels in cerebrospinal fluid, which most general cases of autism won't have.

Just so we are all on the same page, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, whom AAAS and Research!America tapped as their keynote speaking for the National Health Research Forum *LAST WEEK* was STANDING BEHIND TRUMP AND RFK JR AT THAT TYLENOL/AUTISM PRESSER YESTERDAY.

He is not a hero, he is complicit.
