It’s truly mindblowing to think this man feels he is the victim.
The cheating ex-CEO Andy Byron is suing Coldplay. Claiming they 'ruined his life'. I hope they counter sue and bankrupt this prick, and really ruin his life.
Stunning results with real world applicability from @Prof_R_Whitmer and her outstanding team @UCDavisMed

A song didn’t cost him shit. Cheating on his wife did.
"A song cost me my family, my job, and everything I built." – Tech CEO Andy Byron is threatening to sue Coldplay, while a case with HR chief Kristin Cabot is destroying his life. His wife is demanding a $50 million divorce, his children are gone, and the chaos in the boardroom is…
John Oliver breaks down how absurd it is to believe Trump has no ties to Epstein, listing a series of disturbing connections and behaviors — including flying on his plane, hosting him, making inappropriate comments about young women, and being found liable for sexual abuse — all…
America is facing an unprecedented brain drain that will “present an extinction-level event for American science.”
Really jazzed to see @UCDavisMed @UCDavisOrtho represented by wonderful Ambrosi lab MD/PhD student Kelly Weldon @CIRMnews trainee conference - such cool work examining age-dependent gut microbiome effects on the skeletal stem cell niche.

Good thing I got invited to give seminars in Vienna and Paris this year 😁

Inspiring to hear from Adrienne Shapiro, a fearless advocate and mom pushing for a cure to sickle cell disease that has finally been realized in part with support from @CIRMnews. #CIRMTraineeConference

Lara Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr and their kids accompanying Trump to Aberdeen. Didn't realize the American people were paying for a family vacation.
"I love getting even with people... If given the opportunity, I will get even with some people that were disloyal to me." Donald Trump on Charlie Rose, 1992
Dear @CNN, Polite reminder: We used to have a most favored nation trade status with the EU where we charged each other about 1% tariffs on most goods. We will now be paying 15% more for European products. That’s Trump’s amazing trade deal in a nutshell -@cturnbull1968
BREAKING: A judge has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and ordered that it keep getting Medicaid funds. apnews.com/article/planne…
"The CBO report is clear: short-term budget savings from cutting NIH funding would come at a staggering long-term cost to American health and innovation." @SenKatieBritt @SenTuberville cuts to the NIH budget will affect the health of all Alabamians aau.edu/newsroom/leadi…
What’s happening at the Everglades detention camp is a scandal and a due process disaster. Basically, long story short, ICE and the immigration courts are trying to wash their hands of the people there and saying their detention is purely up to Florida. So nobody can seek bond.
“‘This is an unprecedented situation where hundreds of detainees are held incommunicado, with no ability to access the courts, under legal authority that has never been explained and may not exist,’ they argued.”
Everything Trump touches dies. Look how Trump ruined the White House Rose Garden. Before and after pictures of his project, now nearly complete, paving over the historic space.
The Senate is deliberating over the NIH budget this week. But, it's not just the total $$ that's an issue..but that NIH leadership wants to front load multi-year grants and not distribute them over 4/5 years...this will lead to very few NEW grants awarded = shutting down labs.
PATRIOTS! The Senate’s NIH vote on 7/31 could lock in a disastrous multi-year funding policy, slashing $7B from research. It KILLS jobs in PA, AL, WV, WASTES your tax dollars, hikes healthcare costs, & lets China win in science. #SaveNIH #AmericaFirst
.@GavinNewsom: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."
How would a reduction in federal funding for NIH affect Americans? According to the Congressional Budget Office, even a permanent 10% reduction would lead to fewer drugs coming to market — a staggering long-term cost to American health. aau.edu/newsroom/leadi…
