In America, schools should be preparing students by teaching them the science, data, and facts they need to succeed — not conspiracy theories and lies.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is disastrous. It will harm working families, low-income Americans, and the millions of people who rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Trump continues to inflict chaos, and Republicans are letting him get away with it. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

1/ A proposed change to the Endangered Species Act language will significantly weaken its ability to actually protect species under threat. You can comment by May 19 to help stop this proposal.

Just one year ago, JD Vance was a leading advocate of the Great Lakes and the efforts to restore the largest system of freshwater on the face of the planet. Now, his boss’ administration is upending the very restoration efforts that Vance once championed.

The rest of the world is prepared to take advantage of our feckless, idiotic, and myopic government led by unqualified right-wing TV hosts and social media influencers as Trump ushers in a new era of American mediocrity.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

This admin claims they will “protect women” and “make America healthy.” Canceling the Women’s Health Initiative contradicts these statements. This long term study has helped us learn multiple critical facts about how women’s health is very different from men’s. www.science.org/content/arti...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

“If Russia has a chance of winning this war, it will not be because of its military achievements on the battlefield. It will be because Putin has convinced Trump, Vance, and their MAGA acolytes that Russia holds all the imaginary cards.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/10/t...
