  1. “The #Hegseth’s US Defense Dept and the National Institutes of Health ( #NIH ) have signed an agreement providing a “framework to collaborate on biodefense and pandemic preparedness”.

    The deal could mean moving as much as $2 billion from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases— roughly one-third the budget of the agency Dr. Anthony #Fauci used to run— to the #Pentagon.”

  2. #Bongino, who stepped down from the #FBI in January…, & other officials helped set in motion a sprawling & aggressive investigative effort that has outlasted his tenure, NYT has learned.

    As part of that effort, FBI agents & federal prosecutors have sought evidence related to at least 8 #scientists, among them a Nobel laureate & influential former government researchers like Dr. #Fauci.

  7. At one point, he squared off against an official who questioned the theory that he & many supporters of #Trump had long promoted∶ that the #virus had not merely leaked from a Chinese lab, but that American researchers, among them Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci, had orchestrated a conspiracy to cover up that fact.

    The meeting became so heated that Bongino ultimately asked the ofcl to leave the room, an attendee said.

  11. Cinquant'anni nella sanità pubblica statunitense, da HIV/AIDS a Ebola a COVID-19, e oggi una risoluzione per oltraggio al Dipartimento di Giustizia. La commissione del Senato guidata dai repubblicani attribuisce ad Anthony Fauci la responsabilità esclusiva della pandemia. Stand up for Science chiede al Congresso di revocare il rinvio. L'abbiamo firmata.

  12. "Maybe he should. What he did was far more serious than a lot of ​crimes, frankly," #Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked if #Fauci should be prosecuted.

    [Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a court of law.]

  13. The development ⁠was the sharpest escalation yet in a broad #Republican & #Trump admin campaign to re-litigate the #pandemic & assign blame for the toll of actions taken as part of the US response.

    Trump said the #DOJ ​should potentially prosecute #Fauci, comparing him to allies #PeterNavarro & #SteveBannon, who both served 4 months in #prison for contempt of #Congress after defying subpoenas [they didn’t even go to their hearings].

  14. #RandPaul described a full #Senate vote as unnecessary. #Democrats said Paul was violating Senate rules by ​skipping the vote, which would likely fail to achieve the necessary 60-vote majority, & called the move dangerous & unprecedented.

    A #DOJ spox confirmed copies of the referral had been sent to the DOJ ​leadership & the US Attorney's Office in Washington, DC.

  15. #Republican US Senator #RandPaul formally asked the #DOJ to prosecute Dr. #Fauci after a committee contempt vote along party lines, bypassing the necessary full #Senate vote.

    Paul sent the referral, a formal request to consider #criminal charges, after the contempt finding. But the Kentucky senator, a longtime Fauci antagonist, bypassed a referral vote by the full Senate.

  16. The vote, along party lines, clears the way for the committee to recommend that the #DOJ prosecute Dr. #Fauci for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena, a #misdemeanor under federal #law. But that does not mean the department will take up the case.

  17. 🤬🤯 beyond disgraceful

    The #Senate “Homeland Security” Committee voted along party lines on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci in #contempt of #Congress for his refusal last week to answer questions from the panel. The committee’s chairman, #Republican Senator #RandPaul of Kentucky, has said he wants to see Dr. Fauci “in prison.”

  18. I played a version of #TrivialPursuit from 1996 this past weekend. One question was, "What is the leading cause of death among adults age 25-44?"

    Answer: #AIDS

    Thankfully this is no longer the case. #AnthonyFauci contributed to President George W. Bush’s PEPFAR global anti-HIV/AIDS programs to help save millions of lives.

    The #Trump and #MAGA attacks on public heath and attempts to tear down Fauci will make us less able to confront future global health crises.

    "But the political heat around the famous doctor may also be an obstacle to something more important: full accountability across the public square over the pandemic, which might improve the federal response to the next emergency."

    "'These attacks upon Dr. Fauci — it’s not just about him,' Democratic Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey said at the hearing last week. 'It’s sending signals to others … our scientists, our doctors, our healthcare professionals, our researchers. (It’s) trying to show to them that if you don’t get in line with the politics, that you will also potentially be subject to attacks.'”

  19. A Republican senator said he obtained a copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s phone.
    
Sen #RonJohnson (R-WI) said he was given it by the #Trump admin. The senator said it may answer questions #Fauci declined to answer at a hearing last week.
    
Fauci faces a #contempt vote in #Congress today∶ The retired government scientist may soon face #criminal charges.

  20. SOME OBSERVATIONS:

    1) If #MitchMcConnell were in as good a shape as he appeared in the "proof of life" photo they released last week, he'd be back at work by now.

    2) The #Fauci Hearing reveals #Republicans are TERRIFIED of what's coming in November and are DESPERATE to revive a topic they (mistakenly) believe played well for them 5 years ago.

    3) Our #RacistInChief thinks EVERYTHING #Obama did MUST have been bad/dumb, and the fact he is STILL being bested by him is driving him nuts. #Iran
