Officer David Rose was murdered in the line of duty, protecting our community from domestic terrorism. He leaves behind a pregnant wife and two young children. Let’s stand with his family after this terrible loss: Link: give.cdcfoundation.org/give/715122#...

They don’t care about their own MAGA base. They just want more money for their donor class.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education. Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE. I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America". They even asked me my Gender. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

Looks like someone isn’t going to meet the criteria for “fully successful” on his end of year review. That’s going to be tough to have in his eOPF when we RIF. 🥴

In 1967, Pittsburgh's inner city produced America’s first EMT service. Comprised solely of Black men and women recruited from the city’s Hill District neighborhood, the paramedics of Freedom House Ambulance became trailblazers in providing pre-hospital and CPR care.
A group of black emergency medical technicians from Freedom House are gathered for a group shot in front of an ambulance. Almost all wear white suits.

This is a picture of my son taken soon after he was born. I suffered from a very rare pregnancy complication. But thanks to physicians at the University of Michigan and a lot of US funded research, he was born healthy. Please post, who has Science Saved for you? #WhoScienceSaves #MedSky
