I added some text to this image. RIP Pope Francis. (I think “they” is an appropriate pronoun for God… since people believe in different Gods, and so there are also multiple, various, plural versions of God… God’s ‘identity’ is complex) Original photograph copyright Vatican Media/AP

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

If you don’t already know, on behalf of Trump, the richest person in the world is attempting to take control of the US federal government in order to eliminate liberal and progressive programs. “Efficiency” is a smokescreen for an ideological attack on government. Here is Elon’s DOGE team.

For the past few days I have been attempting to access the website of the Department of State’s Art in Embassies program, which JFK initiated in 1963. It appears that the degenerate Trump/Musk regime has shut the website down, and one can only assume that they intend to shut the program itself down

NEW from NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard: “This week, USAID officials removed the artwork [of the agency’s various global missions] from the walls of USAID offices because…[officials] would be evaluating what appeared on the walls to ensure it aligned with the new administration’s ‘America First’ mission.”
