This is a great thread. What are Democrats doing other than looking weak. Why didn't they make the Shreaker of the House order them all removed, one by one?

The Musk-Trump administration announced a drop in indirect cost rates for NIH grants to universities to 15%. Immediately. What does that mean? Consider Ohio State, home of the National Football Champion Buckeyes. OSU got $252M in NIH grants last year. The immediate cut is $68M. A lot ! 1/3

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

“You’re OK! You’re OK!” Watch this. It’s extraordinary footage from #Syria. The CNN team find a prisoner abandoned in a cell in Assad’s Air Force Intelligence HQ in Damascus. He’s hiding under a blanket fearing it’s Assad’s soldiers approaching. He has no idea the regime has fallen. 1/3

Here's the bells-and-whistles "Next Comes What" podcast version of my Tuesday post on the uses and limits of political humor, with incredible production by @lolgop.bsky.social, who intersperses examples to show what the hell I'm blathering on about.

Kristen Welker is a joke. Meet the Press has been a joke since Chuck Todd moderated it. Convince me otherwise.

"The party shouldn’t shun its principles and values to win elections, as centrists are calling for, but instead find the right candidates and tactics so it can win elections while also defending transgender rights, racial justice and other liberal values."

You mean it was all bullshit? And all these people fell for it? What could we possibly infer from this? 🤔

We must pay attention to what's going on in South Korea. This is a tactic trump has threatened to use in the past.

"I remember when the phantom Kamala ad hit me. It drew me in with a photo of Vice-President Harris and a positive and appealing summary of her policies. Then the ad exposed me, to a policy that I would not like – and which the candidate did not in fact advocate." snyder.substack.com/p/the-phanto...
