Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.  Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.  Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

The University of Pittsburgh is one of the top research institutions in the nation. I have close colleagues there. And due to this regime’s war on science, they are pausing PhD admissions university wide. That includes their NIH funded programs. We’re going to lose a generation of researchers.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

In times of chaos, it’s easy to be drawn toward all sorts of spiritual explanations about why we’re here and where we’re headed. This is a response as old as humanity itself. But we must be cautious. We have free will and agency. There's no master plan from the gods.

TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING. Bessent gave Musk unfettered Treasury access with Trump's ok. Every agency Musk grabs is with Trump's ok. Musk is drawing attention, blame away from Trump. Intentional. Musk is Trump's frontman, henchman. Think The Godfather. Think Palpatine & Darth Vader.
