"U.S. researchers face new restrictions on publishing with foreign collaborators."
science.org/content/article/u-…
"Grants managers at two of the U.S. government’s largest funders of scientific research have recently placed unprecedented limitations on the ability of U.S. scientists to publish with co-authors from other countries, researchers say. Units of the National Institutes of Health (#NIH) are privately directing grantees to request permission in advance for any co-authorship with a scholar affiliated with a foreign institution, even if all the work was done in the United States. #NASA, meanwhile, is reportedly telling some grantees that papers co-authored with researchers in #China may have violated its rules."

There’s a Way to Stop Trump’s #IRS #SlushFund
by #JamieRaskin
These days it takes a spectacular burst of #corruption to get the attention of our scandal-weary nation, but #Trump & his admin have managed, once again, to transfix Americans by establishing a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund in the #DOJ that will undoubtedly be used to line the pockets of Trump’s partisans & foot soldiers — with your tax dollars.

#Trump White House resisted allowing an American doctor exposed to #Ebola while working in the #DRC to return to the #US, acc/to 5 people familiar with the Ebola response…, delaying the #evacuation & #care of Peter Stafford, who was ultimately transported to #Germany [Danke Deutschland].
The admin’s reluctance to bring an infected American back to US soil marked a sharp contrast with the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak.

The deal #Trump reached with his subordinates relies on a mechanism created by #Congress that legal experts warned was subject to manipulation.
…The whole enterprise is a jarring shock to conventional understanding of the #constitution, raising…profound questions of #PresidentialPower. If allowed to stand, Trump will have managed simultaneously to thwart Congress’s #PowerOfThePurse & the ability of the #courts to police the #SeparationOfPowers.
So, I noticed something about #Trump’s trip to #China, because I tend to pay attention to #bioethics stuff. Amongst all the panopticon bros was a solitary biotech executive; Jacob #Thaysen, CEO of #Illumina.
Illumina holds the patents that mean 80% of the world’s #genomic analysis is done via their products or databases.
According to #CIA agents, the #US left the #WHO so we didn’t have to admit that we’d funded the Chinese lab where #COVID seems to have originated.
Leaving the WHO also means Illumina no longer has to share their data with public health experts. And they’ve been first on the ground in both #hantavirus and #Ebola to sequence these outbreaks. #African countries must sign away their #genome rights before America will pay the health budget Congress authorized. So, that’s fun.
And once again, as I start digging, the #DreyDossier brings receipts. She’s a hella investigator.

most importantly, it looked like Paxton was going to win.
So, as he often does, Trump hitched his wagon to the side that was already going to win so he could claim the win for himself.
#Trump doesn't really care about all of that other stuff. He's spineless and oblivious to anything of substance.
He just wants the superficial chance to proclaim himself a winner again in front of his adoring crowd, and all of that factual stuff is just irrelevant annoyance.
Sometimes Trump's most ardent supporters admit that the guy has a pattern of hitching himself to whatever cause looks like it's already going to win, so he can claim the success of other people.
The primary results from yesterday seem to be a fine example of that.
