The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

We are heartened by this call to action in Nature, one of the most respected journals in science. It urges the global scientific community to speak out on behalf of those being censored and support research as the US government shifts away from its historic leadership www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

In 1992 the US public health service recommended folic acid (FA) for all women of childbearing age. FA decreases the risk of infant brain malformations. A 2015 follow up study found that from 1995-2011, brain malformations had been prevented in ~1,326 infants per year. This is public health at work.

Many of the talented early career scientists will find other positions.. But many joined civil service out of a desire to do good and protect the public, out of compassion and empathy, and a desire to advance science without consideration of profits or fame to improve the lives of the public
