Everyone's in an uproar about the restrictions on indirect costs for NIH grants (now on hold). "HHS...declined to answer Nature’s queries about the lawsuit or about scientists’ concerns about the indirect-costs policy." By @maxkozlov.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @heidiledford.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING: Trump, visibly confused and rambling, forgot why he was in the Oval Office—to swear in Tulsi Gabbard as DNI. Instead, he tried to leave without doing it, leaving even Newsmax stunned. At almost 79 years old, the decline is undeniable. This is not normal.

Not long ago, we had a president who stood firmly with our allies against the aggression of dictators and authoritarians.

The numbers of people in every state who will be affected by Medicaid cuts at the $2T scale in the House budget is truly devastating. This will mean: Nearly complete loss of rural health care Inability to pay for elder care in nursing homes *Death sentences for those with chronic disease

Under a new executive order, the government can only hire one new employee for every four that leave. That order includes the VA and FEMA. A 75% reduction in VA nurses. A 75% reduction in emergency aid workers. Call you reps in Congress to oppose this order.

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.

If you're wondering whether the Daily Mail blurred out the nudity that they're appalled that anyone might choose not to have foisted on them without warning? Don't be silly. Of course they did.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”
