What’s new in the world of sperm epigenetics? Rather than examining specific sncRNA, we modeled changes across RNA types and found an amazing coordination! Biologically, this makes sense that broader changes responding to the environment would be able to interact with all sncRNAs, not just a few.🤩

Rep. Haley Stevens@rephaleystevens.bsky.social · 10mo ago🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

I called out the FEMA Administrator last month about his, Trump's, and FEMA's failures to respond to disasters like floods and hurricanes. Now FEMA employees themselves are confirming what we know — that our communities will face deadly consequences if we don't change course.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last yr.Breaking news: About 150 FEMA employees sent a letter to members of Congress, arguing that the agency’s direction and current leaders’ inexperience harms the agency’s mission and could result in a disaster on the level of Hurricane Katrina.
Trump appointed a FEMA Administrator who didn’t know there was a hurricane season and now he’s dismantling the agency. It’s a disaster in the making. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
FEMA staff tell Congress inexperience of Trump officials risks Katrina-style disaster
The letter signed by 35 named employees said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting FEMA director David Richardson lack qualifications.

The same Trump administration that wants to abolish FEMA is decimating disaster response and openly ignoring lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina that get help to people in need after natural disasters. Republicans must join us in pushing for answers and accountability ASAP.
