Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

Research supported by NIH has led more than 100 Nobel Prizes and has supported more than 99% of drugs approved by federal regulators from 2010 to 2019. But come January, NIH may face a wrecking ball nytimes.com/2024/12/01/h...

An EXTREMELY fundamental blind spot people have about NYC's homeless "problem" is that it's generally not NYC that makes these people homeless. It is where they come after becoming homeless elsewhere. Every homeless person I've got to know is from outside NYC. NYC is relatively nice to them.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Thanks. I’ll work on it. Should I include Murkowski? She sometimes votes with dems so it may be useful to follow her.

I can create one, but the app includes me in the starter pack and I’m unable to remove myself. Wish there was a way around!

Alsobrooks, Van Hollen and Cardin. I think it will be good to get the entire D caucus, including retiring senators.

I think chemicals should be made from plants in a sustainable, low-impact manufacturing process, but I own a green chemicals company (www.lakril.com) and might be biased
