If we stop calling these “grants” and start calling them “contracts,” it’s clearer to people why this is such an abuse of power. This wasn’t a bunch of gifts. This was a bunch of binding contracts between researchers and the US govt for specific agreed upon projects.

Casey CLUTCH Krueger 👊😤 The defender’s late stoppage-time equalizer earns her team a crucial point— and secures her the Week 9 GOTW win.

This is more freedom, right?

Not falling for this.

This is the equivalent of book burning in 2025. I mean, they're burning books too, but this is pretty scary too.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration’s takeover and gutting of the U.S. Institute of Peace were unlawful and a “gross usurpation of power” and ordered the reinstatement of officials ejected by the White House.

Tamerra Griffin with another banger. The NWSL is counting on Alex Cooper to bring more fans to the NWSL. The first Unwell FC activation sold 150 tickets. www.nytimes.com/athletic/636... NWSL’s Unwell FC and Alex Cooper partnership: An ‘incredible platform’ to grow the game or a risk?

520 SAVES FROM KINGSBURY 👑 Aubrey now holds the 4th most saves in NWSL regular season history, surpassing Ashlyn Harris!

The House GOP last night approved Medicaid cuts that will kick millions off insurance & shrink after-tax income for many families in the bottom income quintile Hard to fathom how unpopular this is. Just 14% of voters wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-a...

THIS!

HAL IS BACK!

Russ Vought—the shitweasel whose plan to put civil servants "in trauma" provide the blueprint for DOGE, wants to let data brokers sell your social security number and credit history.

So good to see Hal back on the pitch!

If only there’d been a way to know this was going to happen. Oh, wait

Crying censorship while violating first-amendment rights, ignoring contractual obligations, bypassing peer review, destroying science in the public interest. Orwell would have been proud. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/b...

We may not have gotten 3 points last night but we DID get 3 goals for our Prideraiser! You can still make and edit pledges here: www.prideraiser.org/R4P9M5XM16re...

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going
