The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.

I had not seen this WSJ article from earlier this week. The 1st Amendment violation admitted in the last paragraph of this passage would be too obvious to use on a law school exam. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid. The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP. The cruelty is always the point.

Existing evidence on the safety and efficacy of getting a COVID vaccine in pregnancy all points the same way: the shot is important for maternal and fetal health.

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

I keep seeing headlines like “this Trump voter didn’t know he’d deport his friends or this mom from her church or the guys who worked on his farm, he said or was for gang members” and I need these people to understand that “gang member” is his word for immigrant.

So let me get this straight, in the span of two days, federal agents blocked a reporter from accessing public immigration courts, barged into a congressman’s office and arrested a staff member for trying to block them, and raided a restaurant in military gear, tossing flashbangs, to arrest workers?

Huh, weird, this is inconsistent with the Trump admin's claimed interest in combating antisemitism, which has been their basis for detentions and removals without due process as well as illegal attacks on universities and their students.

“That study was swapped out with a new “systematic overview” authored by psychologist Pim Cuijpers, who told NOTUS via email that MAHA’s new citation is also wrong."

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" report cited hundreds of studies, but a closer look by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not exist.

Thank you to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for just telling the truth about #ElonMusk. The rest of the media should hang their heads in shame with the fawning, irrelevant pieces they ran yesterday. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Paramount has offered $15 million to settle, according to people familiar with the situation. Trump’s team wants more than $25 million and is also seeking an apology from CBS News, one of the people said. All people involved in the deal clearing understand the payment as the price of merger approval

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

"In this ruling, a majority of the 5th Circuit has embraced a doctrine that not only permits but also constitutionalizes the removal of books from public libraries by government officials for ideological reasons. This is government censorship in its plainest form..."

Marco Rubio literally had a student kidnapped off the street for co-authoring an oped criticizing her university. And now he's complaining about censorship?

Comrade Leavitt on Leader Trump's Five-Year Patriotic Plan. I liked it better when Presidential micro-managing involved personally scheduling the White House tennis court rather than dictating the proper mix of workers and university majors by illegally defunding higher education.

Notably: The Chrisleys were indicted by a federal grand jury in 2019, during the first Trump administration. The Trump-nominated U.S. attorney was BJay Pak. In Jan. 2021, Pak was forced to resign after Trump became convinced he wasn’t doing enough to investigate purported election fraud in GA.

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

Not much surprises anymore me but I am still moderately surprised that Trump seems to think that the U.S. government doesn’t know who foreign students attending Harvard are, which is a truly idiotic thing to believe.

I was listening to @wbez.org a couple weeks ago and they were talking about Pritzker & whether he’ll go for a 3rd term. The possibility of Rahm running for gov in 26 if Pritzker doesn’t was mentioned. 😖 Please no, there must be somebody else better.

Re-upping this piece because the deadline for comments on the new version of Schedule F has been extended to June 7. DOGE actions occurred with no public input, so no excuse not to weigh in on Trump's further efforts to politicize the civil service. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/here-is-a-...

Government seizure and evisceration of our private universities will do zero to improve replicability in science—who value vastly exceeds “commercial adoption”—or to create Conservative faculty, or to guard civil rights for ANY Americans. But it will centralize power for himself.
