Same, NASA guy. Same. Q: Are you concerned about NASA’s science budget and how that could impact further discoveries? Astrophysicist: Yeah. Frankly, I’m scared. And when I’m not scared I’m exhausted. And when I’m not exhausted, I’m scared of what’s happening to science in our country.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

In the wake of the ongoing disasters with funding streams, I'm seeing lots of folks suggest that scientists turn to social media crowdfunding to fund their research. For about a decade I held the record for the social media crowdfunded project that got the most funding. I received about $9,000.
