This is me with Allison Riggs, NC Supreme Court justice. In 2024 NC Republicans tried to steal her election victory by disenfranchising >60,000 NC voters, including overseas military, after their votes were legally cast. We fought and we won. Voting is patriotic. Be like Allison and protect votes.

I submitted several comments on the OMB rule last Saturday but they haven’t posted yet. I got one email with a comment tracking number saying it was “sent for review” but it still isn’t posted. Has anyone else experienced this? If comments are submitted in time but not posted will they count?

Taking a different tact to reaching Director Bhattacharya. Just wrote to the Deputy Director for Public Affairs, Office of Communications and Public Liaison Chief (Acting), Strategic Communications and Media Relations Branch (and cc'ed the NIH Director). 1/2
Dear Ms. Fine:  I have been looking for and unable to find Director Bhattacharya's statement condemning the actions of the leadership of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the police and security personnel they enlisted in censoring free speech at the current ADA meeting.

NIH and NSF research are under new attack from Russell Vought's Project 2025 crew. NSF: withholding grants from major universities. NIH: a proposed OMB rule that stops using merit to award grants - and allow arbitrary termination. Congress has to stop this. secure.actblue.com/donate/sam4n...

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?
Two posts from Bluesky. The first one shows a figure from a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports full of totally incoherent AI fabricated gibberish words. The other a comment on a recently published paper by eLife discussing the paper and its peer reviews which were published along with the paper.

The thing about lying is that it snowballs quickly. So, when you’re trying to lie to an entire nation, there’s infinite ground you have to cover. It is simply not possible to not get caught. The Trump regime is wrapped in its own web of lies, one it will keep tripping over until it’s stuck for good.
