"In 1997, Congress passed the Balanced Budget Act, a bipartisan effort to cut back on spending. The act put a cap on the number of annual residencies CMS would support, and froze the funding at 1996 levels. . . . Since 2007, a bill to increase the number of residencies has been introduced in every Congress . . . but never passed."

Same for me, as of this evening, the 'Latest' tab is now gone (it was there this afternoon). This largely eliminates my preferred way to use Twitter. I suppose I was of little value to them as a not-logged-in user, so they have eliminated any value for me.
