Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

Watch and listen. Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed. Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes. Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

This twerp would never survive as an educator. Again, CEOs making comments on topics they’re completely ignorant about. Daycare, my ass. @duolingoverde.bsky.social

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

"Today, Governor Abbott signs his billionaire voucher scam into law. Remember this day next time a school closes. Remember this day next time a teacher quits. Remember this day next time your property taxes go up because the state is defunding our schools.”

Texas Republicans are back with the creepy “Furries Act”—a total waste of tax dollars and legislative time over a fake litter box conspiracy. If this were real, kids would be flooding social media with videos. They’re not. Because it’s nonsense.

This nightmare-voiced inside-out goat carcass isn’t qualified to be a semi-decent person, much less Secretary of anything.

As @jamellebouie.net has been saying, they are absolutely trying to bring back segregation.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Chopra: Either we jumpstart into a new mindset and become the change we want to see in the world—or we continue walking toward extinction. So maybe, nature might say to itself: “The human species was an interesting experiment in evolution. It didn’t work. Let’s try something else.”

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Gavin Newsom calls Kilmer Abrego Garcia a “distraction” @washingtonpost.com What an absolute disgrace he has become. Beyond repulsive and shameful.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.
