I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?

So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?

Basic research matters, even when we don't know what the end results may bring, sometimes decades after it is begun. It makes society better. It saves lives. It makes us healthier, safer.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...
