In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.
Helena in Focus @sthelenafocus

Not only is Jonathan alive and well on St Helena, but during his time on the planet he has now seen off 76 US Attorney Generals, from the 11th Attorney General, Roger Brooke Taney, in 1832, to outgoing 87th Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in
2026. Jonathan is the great survivor.

U.F.O.s, angels, aliens, demons — even the government can’t agree on what we should know, Diana Walsh Pasulka tells Ross Douthat on this episode of “Interesting Times.” “The government is telling us two different contradictory things. The story lies elsewhere, or the answer lies elsewhere.”

Science
On a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations:
"No, that's false. There's going to be a policy on tracking subawards. The NIH and the government should be able to see where the money's going."
"I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation, because you're like, actually spreading rumors that you don't know anything about... Nature also is spreading rumors. Halt foreign collaborations, that's not true."
"We're working on the policy, Jocelyn. You shouldn't be reporting rumors. I know there's leaks all over here, but the leaks don't actually reflect what's happening. Don't write about rumors. It actually makes the things that you and I care about worse. Like it spreads panic."
Later that day, NIH released a policy that halted future subawards to foreign scientists and said they will need to apply directly for money under a system still in development.
