So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a β€œrefusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Call your senators today! Abolish ICE. The 5 calls app makes it easy to find numbers and scripts.

It did not exist until 2001. It absolutely can be defunded and abolished if our Congress has the courage to do so.

Indeed. Where is anyone in Congress? Citizens are being assaulted and murdered in the streets. Citizens and non-citizens alike deserve liberty and due process.

The application of the law has been context dependent for a long time.

I have a whirlpool that's 18 years old I think. Can't speak to current quality. My kitchen is all old whirlpool that's still chugging along.

Yes, there are waits in Canada for procedures. Sometimes quite long. But that happens in the US as well, but it costs more too!

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.
