Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

The book provides a solid introduction to the biology and behavior of bats - focusing on what makes them so unique. The newest scientific discoveries are included as are the most up to date taxonomic names. πŸ¦‡ Bat enthusiasts young and old can find inspiration in these extraordinary creatures!

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Federal Register hold makes β€˜end run’ around court pause on NIH funding freeze NIH-related updates to the Federal Register, which are required for the scheduling of study sections and advisory councils, are on hold indefinitely, according to an email reviewed by <i>The Transmitt...

This is a super sneaky (and illegal) move, not OK!!!

If #NIH can’t schedule study section or council meetings, then no research contracts. Essentially impounding funds appropriated by Congress so they can’t be spent.
