The Presidio Trust, a federal agency charged with running and protecting the historic San Francisco park, should be “eliminated” because it is “unnecessary,” according to an executive order issued by the White House on Wednesday night.

The last few days should put to rest the idea that Trump can be managed with the right combination of flattery and acquiescence. Zelensky made a series of reasonable and credible efforts to get Trump onside. He basically followed the playbook for how Trump ought to be managed. And, look:

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

Here at the Health & Human Services (HHS) rally in Washington, DC, to support our federal workers! Interesting chant from the crowd. “Hey, hey, RFK! We remember JFK!” Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke first and compared JFK’s championing of science & human rights to RFK’s anti-science stance.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Not buying batteries for your smoke detector could be counted as saving money, as could not "wasting your money" on a toothbrush. If you only care if there's a fire, or when your teeth start falling out, then it's too late to realize you were wrong.

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power. That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Basic research drives applied research and ultimately commercial activities. The NASA Spinoff report, released yearly since 1976, is a great way to learn about some of these advances, at least for space science. 🧪 #planetsci ntts-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/t2p/prod/spi...

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers. apnews.com/article/doge...
