Today was a major win for accountability. We just got word that in the court case between the American Academy of Pediatrics and RFK Jr., a judge ruled that the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, ACIP, cannot move forward under his changes and reversed many of the actions taken so far.

🚨 New from me: Grant review at more than half of NIH's institutes could be frozen by the end of the year. That's because crucial NIH grant-review panels are slated to be empty at those institutes by Jan 2027. A wonky bureaucratic problem with big implications. A short 🧵

The multi-year NIH funding of grants tagged to 2025 allows Russell Vought to reduce the number of grants funded this year because he insists that a 5 years of $$$ has to be committed. This is bad. We could see a cut in actual grants by 1/3 or more. Spread the word. www.statnews.com/2026/01/16/n...

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them. Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics. This hurts federal workers and puts us all at risk in a public health emergency.
