I wonder what'll happen when Republicans do something really egregious like postpone the 2026 midterms indefinitely due to some "emergency." I think there's a giant sense of helplessness being cultivated right now that'll see most institutions just shrug and accept it.

From hundreds of terminated grants in biomedicine to selective prosecutions to organizational overhauls at the nation's science funding agencies, today's news reports salvo after salvo from a Republican administration dead set on destroying higher education—and with it, US leadership in technology.

When you understand that the contemporary Republican Party is little more than the Confederate government-in-exile finally seizing power after 160 years, you realize that there's no "snapping people out of it" because it's what they've wanted for over a century.

Unless John Roberts is prostrate on the ground sobbing and begging for forgiveness for what he has done to the rule of law in this country I don’t want to hear a goddamn thing

When you start digging into the vast dark money networks on the right, it becomes clear that this is already war. The violence is just mostly carried out via budget line items. But they’ve been waging a war on America for decades. They’ve been playing the long game. And our side? Been sleeping.

Yes, Trump the saboteur's tariffs are bad and doing enormous harm to the country. But he's not finished. The budget bill he's trying to pass will essentially bankrupt the United States and do an incredible amount of additional and lasting harm. Learn more 👇 www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

No one has ever undermined US power as well as Donald Trump. It’s like he was selected for the job.
