This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science. "Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players. No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for meaningful opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Just like HOA fees cover costs for resources shared between all in a condo association, #IDC covers the shared infrastructure costs of #biomedicalresearch Each awarded #NIH grant is associated with employing researchers whose research places demands on infrastructure. Please see Jeremy Berg primer

$1 invested in #NIH returns $2.5 to #economy Cutting IDC is like funding firefighters salaries but removing from fire dept budgets funding for training, water, gas, electricity, fire truck maintenance. Foundation grants with low IDC, supplement but don’t support full #biomedical research costs
