The US will lose any trade war with China. Why? China has spent decades investing in manufacturing, not just the infrastructure, but the talent (people and skill sets). www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/b... /1

No DOGE savings at all. It's all a complete lie. All they've done is fire qualified workers while not actually cutting spending at all.

The government has the right to accuse people of breaking the law. Due process is our constitutional right to make them prove it.

Trump and DOGE fired USDA employees who held vital positions inspecting our food and protecting supply chains from invasive pests. Experts now warn that food could rot while waiting for inspections, which could lead to even higher grocery prices. "Efficiency."

It's almost as if other governments rely on seasoned professionals with deep understanding of economic and geopolitical issues to help shape their economic policies. Why didn't we do that? Oh yeah, we fired them to save minuscule amounts of money and we don't value knowledge and experience.

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

A lot of rich people don't want to admit that a big part of the United States' success in innovation is thanks to government funding & research, and maybe not purely because of their genius-level IQs & unique business acumen.

The Trump's response to the current measles and bird flu outbreaks remind me of a very common training technique. First you run through things in a real time/realistic scenario.Then you do it again at slow speed to teach the proper way. I'm not optimistic. www.cdc.gov/media/releas...

I'm really getting tired of all these walk backs. I've lead large-scale change efforts at multiple top 10 Pharma. The first rule was, unless it involves safety, have a solution in place before you dismantle anything.

Great post about why science funding matters. This funding has impacted the early careers and even just the idea of a career in science of virtually every American scientist living today. We need more American's in STEM. Right now we're farmers eating our seed corn.

We're eating the seed corn rather than planting the next crop.

Here's the latest update from @dereklowe.bsky.social One point he makes is around the impact that the in limbo review committee meetings have on the reviewers. When I was a regular on review panels, I would allocate ~ 3 weeks for both meeting prep and the meeting itself. Reviewers are volunteers.
