The era of petty government.

Big and petty.

What a country, looks like yet another lawsuit for cancelling already allocated funds.
robomartin•8h ago
Interested in having a greater understanding of the matter. Can anyone point to the HHS order/action/documentation for this?
arjie•7h ago
Also, if someone can share a process for reliably getting these. One of the mentioned grants is here https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/340378

But that page does not seem to have been updated yet.

I think they're trying to beat their first term high score they earned during the pandemic.

They've been given a blank check by their voters to take the numbers up to the millions at this point.

He also drove his ex-wife into depression, who later committed suicide.

The brain worm thing, as much as people think it's a funny stupid little story, was a lie he told to avoid paying any alimony when he divorced her.
raverbashing•7h ago
Nah my guess is that it was probably real, obtained from eating undercooked game
ortusdux•7h ago
Yeah IIRC it was diagnosed from a brain scan, which would make it easily fact-checked during discovery in a contentious divorce.

Hell of an opportunity to choose to not think of the children all of a sudden.
tpoacher•7h ago
Reading the comments here, was hoping for some context ...

Gotta say, it's a sad day when you get a more nuanced discussion on 9gag than on HN on a political topic ...

wat10000•7h ago
What nuance? HHS is run by a completely unqualified jackass who is trying to carry out a war against the most effective medical interventions ever devised. There’s no other side to this.
lovich•3h ago
you can always add to the discussion and be the agent of change to help improve the situation.

I'm with the other poster though, there is no nuance here. Sometimes a spade is just a spade, and the HHS is being run by an incompetent jackass with literal insane beliefs about reality who is now forcing those beliefs on us

Madmallard•7h ago
Where is Dang? Or the other staff? The comments here are embarassing to read as a long time member of HN. The next generation is bringing regression to the mean a little too hard here.
JumpCrisscross•7h ago
23% of the AAP’s revenue comes from grants and pledges [1], and their $100mm in investments could cover the shortfall for up to three years if all $28.5mm of that is HHS. A crisis, for sure. But not an urgent one. The AAP can fight.

To that end:

1) Does the AAP have a case that RFK Jr. acted unconstitutionally?

2) Were these “grants…previously awarded” in a binding nature? Or does the government sign grants with a get-out-of-jail-free clause?

3) Is Senator John Barasso, a pediatrician, a dues-paying member of the AAP?

rtollert•7h ago
My recollection (apologies, I'm not able to turn up a citation on this) is that the AAP has not really shied away from gripping ideological third rails with both hands; they've taken very liberal-leaning positions on abortion rights, gun violence, trans healthcare, etc. (Of course, depending on how you look at things, such policy positions might appear either partisan or nonpartisan.) I would be surprised if Sen. Barasso were a member.
JumpCrisscross•6h ago
> I would be surprised if Sen. Barasso were a member

Hmm, I think you’re correct.
