When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

The BBC is doing something important, refusing to be intimidated by a powerful person trying to use the legal system to punish criticism and discourage scrutiny. They’re schooling the American press on what the 1st Amendment means. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-bbc-st...

Trump is bleeding science dry as the National Science Foundation closes it's fiscal year with over $1B left unspent. NSF says the money will be invested in Trump aligned initiatives.

RFK Jr. is *checks notes* widening the GRAS loopholes? buff.ly/QEz5j4X

I am Hokies football. Disappointment follows me everywhere.

The people screaming Democrats are communists want the government to steer industry, wall off trade, hand out checks, punish dissenters, pick economic winners and losers, and call the whole thing “free-market capitalism.”

They can't all be this stupid. It's obviously a tactic to send the ACA into a death spiral.

For the third straight season, the fourth time in the past five seasons and the 14th time in 32 seasons ... Cleveland has won the AL Central title. The Guardians get a first-round bye and will host Game 1 of the ALDS next Saturday at Progressive Field.

Hokies football - don't worry, we are still horrible.

For the third consecutive season and the 19th time in franchise history, the Guardians are headed to the postseason. Cleveland's magic number to win its third straight AL Central title is three.

Nirvana’s “Nevermind” turns 35 today — an album the band almost titled “Sheep”, referring to people who follow the herd. “Dreaming of the person you want to be,” Cobain said, “is wasting the person you already are.” “Come As You Are” 🎸

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

And so I say to every elected official: cancer doesn’t give a fuck who you vote for. Neither does heart disease or diabetes. The reason that we have made a great deal of progress on prevention and treatment is b/c scientists had the freedom to work on topics that are beneficial to ALL humans.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

Alright, let’s all get on the same page about Vought/NIH/Trump. THEY👏WILL👏STOP👏AT👏NOTHING👏 The goal is to destroy the STEM ecosystem, universities, and democracy as we have known it. PERIOD. The only way to win is to impeach them all…which means we need Congress. HERE’S HOW WE WIN 🧵

According to Jay Bhattacharya, it’s “ridiculous slander” to say Trump is against science.

Good news for high-risk melanoma patients: a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, with immunotherapy, cut recurrence or death by 49% in a Phase 3 trial. It's exciting to see mRNA tech going beyond infections to tailor cancer treatment to a person's tumor.

“The arrangement would give Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, a direct role in determining how NIH distributes its $48 billion in congressionally-appropriated money.” Bypassing the many checks and balances at NIH on grant funding decisions.

A cancer vaccine succeeded in a clinical trial in preventing the recurrence of melanoma, a result experts say is a breakthrough for mRNA-based treatments. Trials for lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and other diseases' vaccines are also underway.

The Trump admin has decimated American science budgets, taking away life saving opportunities, and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries. This is how you destroy American innovation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Note the date.

Started/Going, brought to you by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “The pox virus and rabies labs lost about half their prior staff…”

There have to be so many prosecutions. This all can’t just be forgotten or papered over.

RFK Jr., a completely unqualified, pseudoscientific conspiracy theorist is still in the seat that is supposed to guide health in America. Help embolden a Congress that will remove RFK Jr: zurl.co/0vv7S Tell your friends, tell everybody.

We don’t talk about Russ Vought enough and he’s the most powerful villain in Washington, D.C.

Everyone in these pictures thought they won

It would be nice if someone could explain this community note to him. Having a president with a basic understanding of how trade works doesn’t seem like a ton to ask. Meanwhile our farmers are getting crushed.

Reminder that the annual budget for the DoD is $1 trillion while the budget for NIH is less than $50 billion. The DoD doesn't need to be taking money from the NIH. This is all about defunding the NIH.

Clear now, RFK Jr? “The child contracted measles, and measles caused the death of the child”

An agreement paves the way for hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of projects to be transferred from the NIH’s institute for infectious diseases to the Department of Defense. go.nature.com/4ycEbk8

1. Cheaper input costs (no US tariffs) 2. Better access to foreign markets (thanks to Canada's FTAs & retaliation against US exports) 3. No consumer boycotts

“The secretary had no business ​interfering in the normal process. He has an anti-vaccine agenda and he's using this to play out his anti-vaccine agenda.” -Dr. Georges Benjamin, CEO of @apha.org. And I’m sure RFK Jr. didn’t “ask”. He ordered the CDC Director to remove the deaths. And she did it.

💚💚 We support our state & local health departments 💚💚 This was CDC’s original post—& how CDC should communicate that support. Then it was deleted & 🧠🪱 + our new CDC director (🤬) turned public health into a political fight with PA DOH. MMR vaccines save lives. So do health departments.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims.

The US government is canceling several cyclospora research studies in the midst of the biggest cyclospora outbreak ever which has made tens of thousands sick and killed two people. Make America Healthy Again.

35 years ago was the first time I heard Pearl Jam's Ten. I bought it day of release in a record store in State College, PA and listened to it long after. And then I listened again and kept listening over and over. It's part of my musical DNA...

Pearl Jam released the No Code album on August 27, 1996. Happy 30th anniversary to No Code!

Pearl Jam’s “Ten” turns 35 today. “I think we spent about $25,000” making it, bassist Jeff Ament said. “We didn’t expect the record to be a huge deal. But it guess it kinda became one.” “Even Flow” 🎸
