1. If the story got out, it's far worse than they're admitting and they literally couldn't suppress it. 2. You don't research deadly pathogens like that and not have some plan to use them. 3. You absolutely do not want bioweapons to exist during a power transition in a fascist country.

I wrote a Substack column a few years ago I called The Integrity Habit. Not many ppl seemed interested back then. 🤔 Maybe it’s because, by its very definition, it’s all or nothing: unbroken, whole, complete & can’t be measured in percentages?

Blumenthal: Tether is a crypto company that has a stablecoin known as USDT, and it is the major means of Iran avoiding and evading sanctions. What we’ve also exposed is that Cantor Fitzgerald has a major financial tie. Cantor Fitzgerald was owned by Howard Lutnick. It’s still run by his family.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

4. According to new reporting last night by MS Now, the text messages from 2024 from Smith's team that Eric Schmitt presented at Tuesday's hearing were provided by the US Department of Justice, which is to say, by US Attorney General Todd Blanche. www.ms.now/news/eric-sc...

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
