Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Congress absolutely must be held to account.

If DOGE was truly looking to improve efficiency and reduce waste, they would understand and support information-sharing, synergy, and economies of scale created by NIH.

Shameful

Security clearance exists for a reason. Who is working to shut this down and sue DOGE for data breech?

“Reports that individuals without appropriate clearance may have accessed classified USAID spaces as well as American citizens’ personal information are incredibly serious and unprecedented,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Senate Foreign Relations Committee. apple.news/A6Xd0SkjSTrm...

This is why government cannot be run like a business. Sporadically pausing funding and executing sweeping HR cuts jeopardizes public safety. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and first responders. #TrumpTrainWreck
