For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

In the last few days of Janet Yellen’s Treasury, my amazing team at the Office of Economic Policy published a retrospective on the U.S. recovery that unified much of our earlier work. But the Trump Treasury purged it. Here’s a Wayback Machine link: web.archive.org/web/20250117...

“We’re fucked.” New @nature.com, @maxkozlov.bsky.social reports on how the Trump admin is exploiting a ‘loophole’ to maintain its freeze on NIH funding despite legal challenges. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It was great to join @uaw4121.bsky.social at UW today to fight back against NIH cuts. Groundbreaking research that could lead to lifesaving cures will be lost if these cuts go into effect. This will hurt EVERYONE, in blue districts and red — and we’ll keep standing up to protect health care.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

A lot of locals were very surprised to get the notice from the senior center that they just lost a huge chunk of their meals on wheels funding. As this shit starts hitting people closer to home it’s going to be pretty radicalizing! I had a lot of raging grannies (complimentary) blowing up my phone.

The experiment I have planned for March 7th will have taken six weeks of work to get to. I’m not saying I can’t cancel it, but it will set me back at least a week, at most six weeks. “A day” of wcience can mean weeks or months of work.

You know what the mid-20th century descent into facism did not have? Climate change. Do you know what is great at creating a facism positive feedback loop? Climate-linked disasters. Don't mind me I'll be learning how to distill my own liquor for when I can't afford booze or sobriety.

Scientists and journalists need to figure out right quick how to explain to the average person how a massive change in research indirects will impact the medical care they and their children get (eg at the local children’s hospital), the education their children will get, the price of tuition, etc.

If this reporting stands up (and it appears confirmed by multiple sources): devastating. The EIS is the front-line SWAT team of disease detection in the US and globally, and also the training ground for new generations of public health workers. No EIS, no boots on the ground for outbreaks. ->
