This morning, Joe Goldstein has an exclusive look at what research was cut when the Trump administration canceled $400M in federal funding to Columbia. It's not an exhaustive list because the folks at Columbia are still trying to figure out what was cut and what survived. But it's a start. 🧵

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the EPA’s scientific research arm and lay off more than 1,000 chemists, biologists, and other scientists.

I can't stand listening to Chuck Schumer on CBS Mornings refuse to condemn the deaths of innocent people in Gaza after last night's ceasefire deal ended and Israel started bombing them again.

The US used the Alien Enemies Act to detain their families. Now, they are watching history repeat. “It’s what happened to us, only on steroids.”

시민단체 등이 "거기에 사람이 많아서" 트위터를 그만둘 수 없다는 입장은 이해하지만 다른 채널을 준비하지 않고 중요 공지를 트위터에만 올리는 건 결국 단체 소식을 알고 싶어하는 사람들이 트위터 운영사가 조장하는 혐오와 악의에 노출되도록 돕는 결과를 낳는다고 생각해요.

Senator Jeff Merkley on the backlash against Chuck Schumer for capitulating on the CR: "I think they will be hugely upset, and well-justified. You don't stop the bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop an authoritarian president by giving him more power."
