DOJ, NASA, FBI among government entities telling staff, according to various reports, not to reply to Musk email asking them what they did last week. Effectively, a moment of chaos. Created on purpose. As federal employees get conflicting orders. Disruption seems to be the goal.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

In case you missed it, the Trump administration is making an end run around the court order that unfroze NIH spending: by not allowing NIH to place notices in the Federal Register, it has stopped them from holding any grant evaluation meetings. Basically, there’s no way to evaluate grants right now.

"the poll shows that majorities oppose cutting taxes on corporations. It finds that 63 percent say their top priority for tax policy is helping 'working-class families,' versus one percent—no, really, one percent—who say it’s helping corporations and the wealthiest Americans."

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

You can’t divorce a candidate’s housing agenda from the broader context of why they’re running for office. It’s very clear that Josh Kraft is running for mayor to hand power back to the Good Ol’ Boys networks that Wu has challenged. Therefore, his calls for making housing more affordable ring hollow

Today is Boston Family Days and the MFA is packed. It was prescient that the Wu admin piloted BPS Sundays last year, and then expanded the program. Viewing art can be transcendent; a regenerative experience; a way to build strength. Recommend! ❤️

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
