The paper was retracted yesterday—here a little summary of the process.🧵

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

PSA to Reviewers

1. Please don't put 5 changes across multiple sections in one comment.
2. Try to read the paper carefully to make sure that the suggestion was not already addressed later in the paper
3. Please be nice - it costs so little to be kind!

Trump and DOGE Propel V.A. Mental Health System Into Turmoil (Gift Article) A chaotic restructuring order threatens to degrade services for veterans of wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

My heart breaks every day. So much gratitude to all the VA clinicians out there who serve veterans and help them recover from the harms of service. Veterans and their clinicians deserve better than this. 💔. #psychscisky #therapistsky
