There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report came out last week. It misinterpreted data, had broken links to some citations, and cited 7 articles that don't exist. That last one is a hallmark of AI hallucinations. How much of the MAHA report was AI generated? 🤔 www.notus.org/health-scien...

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

I have some thoughts on Dems like @schumer.senate.gov & @blumenthal.senate.gov sponsoring KOSA now even as a quick glance around shows that Trump is implementing Project 2025 and Heritage Foundation has said clearly that KOSA is part of its strategy to censor LGBTQ & abortion info. Like WT?

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how clear it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

The “white genocide” myth began as a far-right conspiracy, but has been gradually mainstreamed through right-wing media, populist rhetoric, and selective focus on farm attacks, stripped of overt white nationalist framing but still rooted in the same distorted narrative.
