Umm wow. Michael Lewis’s new book says what about NIH??? “He was terrified," said Brought. "He'd never been close to power. He'd never even worked with someone who had been so close to power… He was there because he’d follow orders.”
the job, Memoli simply did whatever downtown told him to do. And downtown had told him to do crazy stuff: fire all the younger scientists, for example, and forbid NIH scientists from buying any supplies that cost more than a dollar.
Memoli's executive secretary, a former Marine Corps intelligence officer named Nate Brought, had finally sat Memoli down and said, Right now you kind of look like a bitch. And everyone here is seeing you like a bitch. You gotta man up. "He was terrified," said Brought. "He'd never been close to power. He'd never even worked with someone who had been so close to power. He didn't know what he was doing. He was there because he'd follow orders."

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.
