Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.

For those wondering... 12 years ago? This is 12 years old, as in circa 2013. It prompts two internal conflicts - that these people whine for this long yet never bring out a cheese course and that no one has thought to serve them some hard cheese (base-a-ball bin berry berry good to me)

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been. How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

Nicolle Saroukos, a U.S. military wife, was jailed, strip-searched and deported when she simply tried to visit her husband in Hawaii. Saroukos, an Australian, had a valid visa. This is how the Trump regime treats military families: youtu.be/0cYsSl-twEg?...

Cory has ideas to share! You too can be a duplicitous scumbag dealing in crypto and ambassadorships. You just have to build relationships with the worst people in the world and pretend you are doing it for the people, not to the people.

The primary reason people like Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are so obsessed with the Biden story isn't politics, thought they're clearly friendlier toward MAGA than toward Democrats (especially Thompson). It's that they're shallow gossip ninnies who think they're doing investigative journalism.

Clearly, then, the thing to do is require them to ask artists for permission.

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.

Yep. It's not possible to understand politics today, much less predict future trends, without recognizing that a large segment of the population lives in an alternate reality increasingly untethered from the real world via nonstop right-wing propaganda on every issue.

Germany's largest UBI study funded by 200K private donors found that - Everyone kept working, no change in hours - More enrolled in university - More job changes (for better jobs) - More satisfied with work This is the data UBI critics love to ignore.

Thinking a lot about Federalist 76 today. Hamilton didn't really anticipate the age of shamelessness and dishonor.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
