Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before. But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma. Now do a wellness check on Trump.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

Read this excerpt of an interview with Jay Bhattacharya, new NIH director. And do not miss the last graf. Via @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...
On a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations:
"No, that's false. There's going to be a policy on tracking subawards. The NIH and the government should be able to see where the money's going."
"I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation, because you're like, actually spreading rumors that you don't know anything about. ... Nature also is spreading rumors. Halt foreign collaborations, that's not true."
"We're working on the policy, Jocelyn. You shouldn't be reporting rumors. I know there's leaks all over here, but the leaks don't actually reflect what's happening.
Don't write about rumors. It actually makes the things that you and I care about worse.
Like it spreads panic."
Later that day, NIH released a policy that halted future subawards to foreign scientists and said they will need to apply directly for money under a system still in development.
