Yes, I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams

The White House gave Don Jr a $620M contract. I’m old enough to remember when repubs in Congress bribed a Russian asset who was later convicted of lying about a $5M payout to Hunter Biden. What ever happened to Smirnov? Oh that’s right. Trump sprung him from jail.
The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Don Jr.

The request was made by top aide Peter Navarro.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, the Don Jr.-linked company was the only deal initiated by a top aide to Trump.

About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

We will no longer have access to evidence of peer review if this happens.

This means when grants are pulled by political minders, we will not have evidence of political influence in the granting process with which to go to Congress who funds the work from the taxpayers.
I heard from several sources yesterday that NIH is planning to release a Request for Information (RFI) that apparently will include this:

Scores and percentiles for NIH grant applications will not be shared with applicants although they will be provided to NIH program officers and staff.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits
The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account.

I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either.

You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
