Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Four years ago, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol as part of an attempt to halt the peaceful transfer of power. Today, and every day, we remember the events of that awful day. We must all recommit to protecting our democracy from those who would undermine or end it.

He calls himself ‘King’. He means ‘Dictator’. But he looks scared like he is saying to us, “Will someone please stop me?” Let’s stop him.

Stories and headlines like these are precisely the ones that we need to keep sharing far-and-wide. Flood the zone with the consequences of Elon and Trump's actions, especially if they hurt those who are generally beloved by the public, like military families. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Carville on Hannity: I think the Republican Party wants to get rid of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security. I think they are against a living wage. They support Putin. I think the Republican Party hates workers and protect billionaires…https://youtu.be/9L_HvoOkU0s?si=Jt9e8jG9DqcAOTZo

There’s an existential desire for truth right now and many folks are feeling out where to get it. So the MeidasTouch Podcast rises. Also, the Meidas guys are way hotter than Joe Rogan and they don’t drool when a thought lasts longer than a few seconds.
