🧪 PRACTICAL tip for NSF PIs with terminated grants: You're entitled to recover more closeout costs than a DOGE-fueled NSF may lead you to believe. ➡️ Do this NOW: Send fed reg 2 CFR 200.472 on allowable "termination costs" to your sponsored research office: www.ecfr.gov/current/titl... 1/8 🧵

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Are you fucking kidding me? Trump is steamrolling this country for personal profit. Democrats should be doing everything in their power to win a majority in both chambers to impeach this man and push bold, popular, progressive legislation. This is a disgrace.

The professor at the Naval academy calling out an admiral. The judge in Wisconsin refusing to hold court. Greg in IT at Social Security forcing DOGE to literally drag him from his chair. American heroes showing true bravery while Senators shrug saying "what do you want us to do, we're scared"

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Huge new illegal action from OMB in pursuit of carrying out Project 2025. Sounds boring but super important. OMB has illegally stopped sharing info whose entire purpose is to help ensure they follow budget laws. They're breaking a reporting law to facilitate breaking spending laws. Technical 🧵

It's all alarming, including this bit near the end. "Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NRLB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in...using one of the newly created DOGE accounts—and the person had the correct username and password." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

we need to keep a close eye on the legal battle between maine and the trump administration. the battle is purportedly about trans athletes, but is really about federal vs blue state power. if maine can beat trump on trans athletes, any blue state can beat him on any issue.

From inside the DoD: “Schumer's bungling over the past two months & creation of this lose-lose scenario is a complete dereliction of his duties. This was the sole moment where they had any real potential leverage to stand up and fight for the Constitution & they completely blew it from day 1.”

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.
