HHS gave disabled CDC and NIH employees 20 days to submit medical documentation for our reasonable accommodation requests. We submitted it on time. We have receipts. And HHS closed our cases anyway, claiming our documentation was missing. Now we're left in limbo.

HHS scraps disability accommodations over missing paperwork. Employees say they have receipts 
A union leader for CDC headquarters employees said the Health and Human Services Department closing out these accommodation requests was “a deliberate choice to clear the backlog."

Concluding the meeting with the American delegation in the US two days ago, after receiving a tirade of threats from Trump officials, Ukraine's Budanov turned when leaving and said, "We are now going to burn every last Russian refinery and every last port to hell. All of it, down to the final one."

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

This is what I said before about RFK Jr. wanting to use our tax money for the unethical study in Guinea-Bissau, in which they will experiment on infants from one of the poorest countries in the world by withholding the HepB birth dose. My opinion hasn’t changed. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
The US canceled much of its global aid and research earlier this year, Jacobs said.
"In the face of the US canceling all this funding for vulnerable countries, and then it's still going to pay for this research to be done - that is really worrying" she said. "It seems to say we don't value your lives enough to continue to provide support overall, but we won't hesitate to experiment with your population."
