Because you have to replace the police with something, and you have to build that something. The advantage republicans have is that they don’t think there should be a CFPB or FDA, as in not just those agencies, the government should not be doing those things at all. So they can just break them.

In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. Lawmakers wasted no time moving to undo a constitutional amendment that legalized abortion up to fetal viability. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social‬

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

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...

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

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.

I wonder if the tremendous power Fedsoc has wielded for the past couple decades may recede abruptly. A key component of Fedsoc's power was purely careerist, the chance to access a network that reliably provided a pipeline to conservative legal professional advancement.

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's proposed budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'. Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives. But we are fighting back. Join us: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

This is a vast underestimate of the projected death toll from the cuts to USAID and Pepfar alone.

These are straight up gestapo tactics from ICE. They’re going after Democrats trying to scare them or provoke a response to justify a further crackdown.

when you look at the powers trump is claiming and boil it down, he really does seem to see himself as the literal embodiment of the executive branch, if not the entire nation, and thus his authority extends to everything www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Donald Trump gives his admirers permission to be their worst selves. It’s almost as if the party that rallied around impeaching Clinton for lying about a blowjob didn’t really mean what they said about the importance of Presidents serving as role models for the nation.

"Using ChatGPT to write a study on the dangers posed to children by the irresponsible misuse medicine and technology and then just running it up there" is an incredible bit of satire, sadly. One so good that everyone involved should be thrown into comedy prison! Or just regular prison is also fine.

its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/
