A new Trump ad says “we will hunt you down” and “we will kill you,” then tells Iranians their government is “yours to take.” Taxpayers are footing the bill for a war promo on Fox while families struggle with gas prices. Who signed off on that? #PayToPlayPresident

CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

The 1st Circuit ruled that migrants don’t have a fair shot to say they'd face torture before being shipped to a country that isn't theirs. Trump wants the Supreme Court to bless skipping due process. Stripping migrants' rights trains the same muscle for stripping yours. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

"Financial support was expected." That's what Susan Collins reportedly told a donor before he got $32M in Navy contracts and she got $150K routed through a shell company. Agents had a real bribery case. Trump purged the FBI unit running it, and it died. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

HHS wants to relax regulations on human subject research (The Common Rule). For example, they want to redefine “undue influence” on vulnerable human research subjects (children, prisoners, disabled, culturally disadvantaged). 1/
From the federal register: The foundational framework for human subjects protection in the United States was established by the National Research Act of 1974 in response to widespread public concern over unethical biomedical and behavioral research practices. Following its passage, the then-Department of Health, Education, and Welfare issued the first version of 45 CFR part 46. These regulations established institutional review boards (IRBs) as the key mechanism for oversight and ethical review of human subjects research. While these protections remain vital, the current regulatory framework no longer reflects the realities of modern research.
In 1991 the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, known as the Common Rule, was formally adopted by HHS and 15 other federal departments and agencies. Although the last major revision in 2017 introduced several changes to modernize human subject protections while reducing unnecessary regulatory burden, investigators and institutions have continued to report that the Common Rule imposes unnecessary burdens and unclear requirements, particularly for minimal-risk studies. For example, the Department has received feedback that applying the Common Rule remains cumbersome for research within Learning Healthcare Systems and for other research methods that are integrated into clinical care settings and are intended to improve the quality and safety of medical care.
Without additional changes intended to clarify ambiguities, expand flexibilities, and redirect protective measures toward high-risk activities, the rights and safety of research participants as well as scientific breakthroughs can be impeded. Examples of how this rulemaking will address these issues include expanding exemptions for certain additional types of low-risk research, incorporating flexibilities for de minimis protocol changes, and clarifying key terms such as the definition of undue influence. These reforms will reduce ambiguity and undue administr…
