It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA. The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US. We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.

Genuinely stunned at how little we’ve heard from elected Democrats about this today and yesterday. Shocking beyond words, in a totally different class than any of the party’s many other absences and delinquencies.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

Trump’s HHS is canceling a contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, even as the disease continues to spread through dairy cows across the U.S. Make no mistake: delaying the development of this vaccine puts people’s lives at risk.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.

The headline puts it pretty well. We all have a stake in the cuts to science, at NIH, NSF, NASA, NOAA, EPA, and more. These are excellent investments in the future, for all of us, scientists and otherwise. theconversation.com/unprecedente...

We want to make sure DOL employees - and all feds - understand their First Amendment rights to free speech.

What Vinay Prasad is proposing is scientific misconduct that would violate legally-mandated institutional review board review in the United States. He has never conducted a randomized control trial. He is not a scientist. He is a fraud. They are mandating this to block approval, not encourage study

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place. Trump is ending all that.
