Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Multiple sources tell me that the USDA's Food & Nutrition Services division cancelled research contracts today. One contract was related to school meals. The contract was to study program participation, meal counting, financial management, and program integrity (so...detecting fraud)

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and the services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend money is so important to so many people

Ukrainians from across the political spectrum rallied behind President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, decrying President Donald Trump’s claims that he was failing, unpopular, illegitimate and to blame for the 2022 invasion of the country that has killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of people.

I think the totally understandable negative polarization among people on the left towards AI has obscured for people just how shockingly advanced the tech is getting. The consumer facing image slop is laughable but DeepSeek’s research abilities are insane.

Elon Musk's companies have gained a combined $613 billion in value since the election

DOGE recommended firing staff at USDA who were working on the nation's response to bird flu and hundreds of employees working at the National Nuclear Security Administration overseeing our nuclear stockpile. Now the Trump admin is scrambling to hire them back. "Efficiency."

Stories like this are what the cryptocurrency economy that financed Trump's election in 2024 is built on top of.

The Kennedy Center, currently run by gay quisling and Trump toady Richard Grenell, has cancelled the concert by the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, performing alongside the National Symphony Orchestra previously scheduled for May. Their hate has no shame. www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/18/k...

📢 Chicago showed up! Federal workers & allies rallied to defend public services—and the turnout was huge. Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ care belong to the people, not corporations. The fight continues. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

I'm normally cynical about politicians but this is statesmanship. It is affirming republican civic virtue. Not irony-poisoned snark, not focus-grouped talking points. The oath to the Constitution matters, and it's time to speak plainly and earnestly about how our fundamental principles are at stake.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A federal appeals court has denied a request by the US Justice Department to narrow a Seattle judge’s order blocking enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive action to restrict automatic birthright citizenship.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

this is such a critical point, made powerfully by the brilliant @sifill.bsky.social

From the makers of "Snakes on a Plane" comes a new aviation thriller for our times: "On a Plane"

Large epidemiologic studies have consistently shown an association between coffee and improved health outcomes. This may be one of the reasons: favorable changes to the gut microbiome 🏢🏢 www.scientificamerican.com/article/coff...

The US Fish and Wildlife Service, the nation’s only government agency dedicated to conserving plants and animals, has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants, jeopardizing imperiled sea turtles in Central America to elephants in Africa. from @vox.com via @climatedesk.org

We can crush them, one at a time

Trump's approval rating slips as Americans worry about the economy www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

President Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. "You should have never started it," he said, referring to Ukraine’s leaders. Here’s what to know about how the war began, the state of the peace talks and Ukraine’s election record.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

It will get to the point where he orders troops to do illegal things in country - then blood

“A walking conflict of interest… $20 Billion in 🇺🇸 government contracts…” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it is hard for people not in the weeds of NY politics to understand that "the Brooklyn Democratic Party" is not representative of Democratic voters or national dems, but a corrupt ring of like 100 insanely corrupt people who have seized the mechanics of organizational control and won't let go.

If Donald Trump’s first Presidency was characterized by widespread revolt, his second term has so far been defined by the lack of dissidence. What happened to the resistance?

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

JUST IN: USDA confirms first H5N1 bird flu detections in rats.

Robert De Niro returns to Netflix to portray a former U.S. President called back into action in the wake of a devastating cyber attack.
