This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

PG&E basically blackmailing California, saying it delay $2 billion in grid investments to support renewable energy and housing if legislators don't get back to work protecting its finances: www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

PG&E says it will scale back planned work after California wildfire reforms fail
PG&E CEO Patti Poppe said delaying the investments means the utility won’t have to borrow as much money at high rates that end up raising bills for customers.

The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.
Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD
@NIHDirector_Jay

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.
