ICYMI--WHAT'S NEXT FOR DAVID MORENS?

David Morens’s next step in the courts is his arraignment on May 8, 2026, where he will formally enter a plea to the federal charges against him.

A former senior adviser at NIAID under Anthony Fauci, has been indicted on five federal counts, including:

  • Conspiracy against the United States

  • Destruction, alteration, or falsification of records

  • Concealment or removal of federal records

  • Aiding and abetting

These charges stem from allegations that he used personal email to evade FOIA requests and concealed communications related to COVID‑19 research and grant discussions.

MYMSMERMAID LIFE UPDATE--ADRIANA'S ADVENTURES CONTINUE

mymsmermaidlife 7h​They told me life would look different after a diagnosis, but they didn’t say it would look this good. 

​On land, every step is a hard-fought victory. Taking my MS for a walk in paradise might look a little (or a LOT) different than it used to, but the second I hit that Curaçao blue, the weight of the world just floats away...

​I’m not just surviving with a diagnosis—I’m diving through it. In the water, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. 

​The Curaçao Dump:

🔸️The walk is done. Now for the fun part. 

🔸️Flipping the script (and myself) 

🔸️​Sending love from the reef 

🔸️​The warmest "Bon Bini" welcome 

🔸️​Golden hour with my favorite human

​This is my mermaid life, and MS is just along for the ride!

I’m on a mission to grow this Pod to 5,000 strong to show that the adventure doesn’t stop—it just changes pace.
