In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

At the very least keep harping on the fact that Trump fired the people who were finding fraud in his COVID programs, to the tune of $100s of Billions. And DOGE's receipts page is near-fraudulent itself.
