"Among accomplished researchers, the fear is that this coming generation of scientists will look overseas or leave their fields entirely, endangering America’s multigenerational standard as the leader in scientific research." ICYMI @samsteindc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doge-b...

No. New. PhD. Students. Direct hit on American innovation. On American competitiveness. On America.

I wrote angry about the purging of the US military. saideman.blogspot.com/2025/02/why-...

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

"You screwed people": Inside the National Science Foundation’s firing of 168 workers👇

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

A president should be reassuring instead of forcing the people to lie in a persistent state of anxiety.

I hate to ask this but i have to, are we now the bad guys? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/are-we-now...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Let’s take a dive into history.

I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning. Without those grants, my lab must close within a year. And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues 🤬 #MicroSky 🦠🧫🧪🧬🔬

Actual headlines in the past week.

Is it possible for federal workers to stay on the job (Office Space style) claiming DOGE doesn't have authority to fire them, then when one pay period passes without getting paid, sue the government for labor law violations?

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

Brad, what radicalized you?

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Engraving on the exterior of the United States Department of Justice headquarters.

"To hack apart this vital arm of American soft power like a side of beef without a proper assessment of the harm it will do will diminish our standing in the world over the long term—& it will also rob our military of critical partners the next time we need them in tough situations."

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The healthcare system of the nation that leads the world in medical research is now governed by cranks who believe in incantations and magic potions. Me in @TheAtlantic on COVID's 5th anniversary www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.
