Rumeysa Ozturk didn't create a "ruckus," she exercised her First Amendment rights (which extends to noncitizens). If you want to expel foreigners creating a ruckus, expel Elon Musk, who is currently setting fire to our government. (And didn't you pardon people who caused a REAL ruckus on Jan 6?)

A 2024 report by the GAO found that the IRS found savings of $13,000 for every additional hour spent auditing the tax returns of very wealthy taxpayers. That's pretty darn efficient if you ask us. www.propublica.org/article/how-...

Since writing this article, I have received messages from federal civil servants who tell me it is accurate, and that they are frightened. Please share this with anyone who doesn't understand the scale of the transformation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

This @washingtonpost.com story is so important that I'm gifting it. These people appear to be operating totally illegally and outside the Constitution -- and they know it. wapo.st/40LVERn
