They begin with the theory that most federal employees are average at best, and reverse engineer the ratings to reflect that. Trying to run govt like a private company isn’t solving the country’s problems, it’s making things worse.

Glad to hear she’s deeply concerned. Let’s hope she actually does something about it (and no, simply delaying an OMB rule on a continuing resolution doesn’t cut it).

A reminder that the “take care” clause of the President’s executive authority does not, contrary to the Heritage Foundation’s view, allow this B.S. Congress has clearly vested funding authority to HHS/NIH, not OMB.

Because the media is stuck in a "both sides" loop where everyone's opinion is given equal weight. In general, scientists also are poorly trained in the type of communication skills needed to get their message out in a simple, accessible manner. This is changing, but not quickly enough....

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

They need the extra time to REALLY f**k things up so that the next Dem admin has no prayer of digging out. Smash and grab, leave the others to clean up. It’s the GOP Gold Standard!

According to the NYT, $9.5 BILLION was spent paying federal employees not to work. Meanwhile, most of our colleagues on admin leave would rather be WORKING. 🙄 “Government efficiency,” apparently. Goodnight to everyone except the MAGAts who thought this math was mathing. 😑🌙

Stop me if you've heard this before: Plaintiff states in New York vs Kennedy (Dist Court in R.I.) arguing that HHS is withholding the full administrative record Re: 4/1/25 RIFs. They are asking court to force HHS to provide a complete admin record, as required by the APA.

1/4 From Reuters: HHS Sec. Kennedy asked CDC Director Erica Schwartz to remove two Pennsylvania measles deaths from CDC’s tally. CDC staff had already accepted the state’s classification. Schwartz implemented Kennedy’s directive, without objection... That is deeply disturbing.

Republicans will deny that deaths are due to measles, and MAGA will eat it up. The Republican Coroner in Lancaster County allegedly claimed that one of the deaths was not the result of measles, *without speaking to the mother or to medical staff that treated the baby*.

Made up nonsense as usual. No evidence of association between cancer and SV40 in polio vax (And it hasn't been in the vax since 1963 anyway). Also, the same crowd that always claims the repeated failure of animal models to translate to human disease somehow thinks it's 100% certain on this.
