Musk literally just sent the email and you're already giving up? If this would work, push for it! Encourage others to do the same! At least don't encourage them to immediately give up! We are not watching this on TV

Every single headline about a scientific/medical advance right now should include the funding source I'm reading & discussing a bunch of papers w/ my class. I don't usually point out funders (almost always NIH/NSF/USDA for this class). You can bet your patooties I'm gonna do that from now on

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication. You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

I hope all the folks laughing at GOP efforts to spare their friends & constituents from the cuts realize that many such efforts will succeed --- and that is going to be how federal money and jobs are allocated in America, unless we can stop them.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

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.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Oh word? "The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a new memo obtained by The Washington Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash."

A recent poll's press release said, “New Poll Shows Gaza Was A Top Issue For Biden 2020 Voters Who Cast A Ballot For Someone Besides Harris.” However, asking people the reasons for their vote doesn’t tell us much. Read the latest from @johnsides.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/the-pro...

So, TikTok is supposedly a national security threat from China, but it seems odd that there's been almost no mainstream press coverage of Trump dismantling the board investigating the Salt Typhoon hack which is an ACTUAL PROVEN hack from China & incredibly damaging. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/23/t...
