I want to propose a toast to Sergey Brin, who's unintentionally making the case for a billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

This is the most important thing you'll do today. Russell Vought wants to take OVER all federal grant making putting it under political control. Write to your members of Congress. Tell your friends to do so. And share, share, share. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

Over the past year, I have gotten lots of questions about application status changing in eRA Commons and what this information actually means. I recently found a document that explains this (with some translation from NIH-speak). www.era.nih.gov/docs/era_sta... 1/5

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

The EPA is forcing 124 of its scientists and researchers to accept reassignments and 35 of them are being told to pack up and move to a new city if they want to keep their jobs.

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.

1/ I'm seeing this question a lot right now: do doctors recommend vaccines because they profit from them? We're hearing this question more because it taps into a real frustration. U.S. health care is expensive. Corporations make money while families drown in bills. But is this claim actually true?

That's right. Worse than Pointless www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

This must stop.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

🚨 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 🧵

Exclusive: key NIH review panels due to lose all members by the end of 2026

Thirteen of the agency’s advisory councils, which must review grant applications before funding is awarded, are on track to have no voting members.

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...

1/ As you've probably heard by now, RFK Jr. unilaterally updated the routine vaccination schedule for children in the United States: routine vaccination now covers 11 diseases instead of 17. This isn’t based on any new data or evidence—it’s purely ideological. So here’s what that means for you 👇

About that exclusive, "closed-to-press" MAHA summit last week with RFK and JD Vance: I got in. Here's what I saw. 🧵 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

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.

1. do not send read receipt 2. forward to personal email 3. wait for union language before responding 4. download docs (eOPF etc) quickly; expect to lose network access 5. ensure a non-gov email way to access mypay and other benefits 6. book Dr appointments and Rx filled
