I hope Troy Jackson wins and I’ve donated to him, but his campaign is much worse than others about listening when you say stop texting. They just keep on texting anyway on some other number. Not cool @troyjackson207.bsky.social

We are at a fire alarm fire in the science Infrostructure. It is not just NIH (although NIH may be the worst), the rot is at the USPTO, the rot is at NSF, NEA, and NEH, the rot is at CDC, the rot is at Universities. And when I say to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, we need a commission, boy oh boy.
This week, NIH advisors rebuked RFK for harming #NIH and US science. Sheryl Gay Stolberg reported it. Then RFK posted calling her sources anonymous or corrupt. I'll say this hoping it does good: I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH. More in attachment:

Gasoline-only cars now make up just 49% of global new vehicle sales, down from 73% in 2021: electrek.co/2026/10/05/g...
So glad we’re in this universe and not the one where she is First Lady of California.
Kimberly Giulfoyle is reportedly "holed up" at the official ambassador's residence in Athens after being asked to resign by President Donald Trump, as new allegations emerge about her efforts to get wealthy businessmen to cover a luxury SUV debt.
Guilfoyle is about my age and I don’t understand how she is up partying at 4 am. Did she need ice because she woke up in the middle of the night and her back hurt? Maybe the cocaine is her key to staying up.
If this is being leaked to Fox News (which had not published a Guilfoyle story for years) then Guilfoyle is gone this week. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...
Anyone who finds themselves developing a plan to possibly put their boss’s name on Ford’s theater needs to take a look in the mirror. What are you doing with your life.
"Administration officials are circulating a list of government sites that could have Trump’s name affixed to them... One landmark that has emerged in the discussions among administration officials has raised eyebrows: Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865."
I’m not really sure about all of these, but go watch Frayed. It is hilarious and under-appreciated. Vote for Your 10 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century www.nytimes.com/shared/v1/be...

Enforce Quarantines for Cases A passenger with measles passed through at least six counties on Amtrak – Alameda, Butte, Kern, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Joaquin – while making multiple transfers. www.ktvu.com/news/califor...
I feel like at some point in the past there used to be laws
RFK Jr. received "more than $250,000 worth of free flights to Fiji and Greece as well as use of a vacation home in Washington, D.C. from Gavin de Becker..." de Becker has been described as Jeff Bezo's "top security staffer" www.wsj.com/politics/rfk...

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

“The administration wrote to several grantees working on maternal health that while ‘maternal and infant health are important issues,’ their work ‘does not advance minority health with regards to OMH’s current priority areas.’” we don’t loathe these people enough.
HHS is canceling infant mortality and postpartum grants to focus instead on research related to what the department says are “root causes” like sperm counts and erectile dysfunction. https://www.notus.org/health-science/hhs-cancels-infant-mortality-postpartum-grants-focus-infertility
It’s too bad SC is so red because if anybody ought to lose it’s Darline Graham. Most Americans don’t think through every step in their policy preferences, but if you’re one of those Americans you don’t have to run for Senate. She also hasn’t yet learned when to pretend she has something to offer.
Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...
This man is a physician and is trying to tell us that it's fine that kids are dying from measles. Penn should revoke his degree.
Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."
