NEW: The entire NIH payment system is currently frozen for all grantees. This is tied to DOGE’s new “Defend the Spend” caper, reported in today’s Post, which has already led to payment cutoffs to doctors and health workers at hospitals treating the poor.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

The KY GOP has a pattern of complete carelessness and it shows 🙄 This 2025 session, Democratic Sen. @cassieforky.bsky.social stepped up by sponsoring and passing SB 120 on child abuse training and reporting in schools. Who really cares about Kentucky’s kids? Kentucky Democrats.

A new YouGov poll out this morning has Trump's net approval at -8, down from -3 before he announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs With this poll, Trump's approval in my average falls to 45.3%, and disapproval rises to 50.8%. That's a new low of -6 net www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-appr...

This is a good, funny sign. But it gets at a key element of what Social Security does. Middle aged people who aren't fully supporting aging parents can fund their kids education. It runs through the whole life cycle.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
