“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.” h/t @Cathy2NotToday on X.com

Its worse than you think. Trump told us he'd do this before the election and he told us why. He wants the endowment bc he wants to establish "America University" which will be patriotic and only teach a patriotic view of history and only the subjects he deems useful. www.npr.org/2025/05/27/n...

"My visit with the new president did nothing to assuage my apprehensions. The man—the inner man, the essential man—seemed unequal to the awesome powers entrusted to him.
