Today I return to Forest Glen station. I payed my fare as a guy jumped over the fencing next to the gates. The @WMATA employee watched, never leaving his hut. Really? @MetroOIG @wmataGM

So long, America🫡🇺🇸 49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us. This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA. Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited. So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome! I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly: “If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.” Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

Took a day off the OMB reg to hold a Science Fair in Congress! So cool seeing staffers learn about the microbiome, the dna of taste, CarT, etc. 🔬

New White House draft regulations could significantly change federally funded research, including peer review, publication costs, conference travel & international collaborations. Learn what's proposed and why it matters. Public comments are due July 13. ascb.org/science-policy/whit…

The White House has proposed cutting NIH funding by 12% and NSF funding by 54%. Call Congress today and urge them to reject these harmful cuts to biomedical research, scientific discovery, and the future of U.S. science. ascb.org/science-policy/advo…

ADVICE—Do not blame the Presidential Personnel Office for your failure to pay federal taxes over multiple years during a background investigation (while claiming you did), showing a complete lack of candor, and failing to produce sufficient documentation as requested. Meanwhile, you're running around telling anyone who will listen in Washington, DC and beyond—that you've gone "above and beyond" in doing so, and how wonderful you are (not the first person to do-so)… Get a grip, be honest with yourself, and stop blaming PPO for your past when you are not extended an offer, due to not being able to obtain a security clearance for a position… Be OPEN and HONEST to those that put their name on your referral for a job—It doesn’t look good for them when you blow smoke up everyone’s ass, and they call asking what happened with ____________? It’s embarrassing. BE HONEST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Dan

Hey @MCDOTNow at 5:17 pm today a blue line flashlight bus blew thru a solid red light on 29 north at Tech Road. If a car or pedestrian had been following traffic signals it would have been awful.

This is what autocracy looks like. Federal “agents” and their rifles at the ready while we exercise our rights to free speech. #NoKings in Washington, DC

According to news reports, NIH is on track to award nearly all of its FY25 budget. Program officers—working long hours despite staff losses—made it possible. Take a moment to thank your PO for their dedication.
