the damage is incalculable. in the future, no one will trust our visas. no one will trust our grants. tax credits/incentives for infrastructure won't be trusted. The US is establishing itself as an unreliable partner.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

The majority of DOGE's "work" is to use LLMs to search federal grants for the keywords "LGBTQ," "BIPOC," and similar, and then to cancel those grants. They are targeting minorities in the most literal, automated way. The outcomes of this are all over their own website:

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Me in February 2025: it will take a little bit of conceptual work to make the point, but Trump's attacks on domestic institutions are connected to US sanctions practices internationally (a point also made by @himself.bsky.social @abenewman.bsky.social). Rubio in June: No, I'll do the work for you.

This seems flatly indistinguishable from having them perform ordinary law-enforcement functions, which is (wait for it) illegal. Absent an invocation of the Insurrection Act, military cannot enforce domestic law against civilians.
