“This is such a race for being the science powerhouse that you never fully recover," says Marcia McNutt, president of the National Academy of Sciences. ".. you can't make up for those years when you were at a standstill while the competition was racing .." @axios.com www.axios.com/newsletters/...

ICE is evil

"Just because Trump senses that keeping mum on a national ban is best at the moment doesn’t mean he isn't letting people like RFK Jr and Josh Hawley work together on schemes to radically restrict access to abortion." — @snipy.bsky.social

This guy has no class.

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

The unrounded unemployment rate has risen every month so far in 2025. “.. At that slow but steady pace you are at ~4.7 percent unemployment at the end of year, consistent with some forecasts on tariff impact." @dailychartbook.bsky.social

Remember family hikes, summer camps, and fishing trips? Trump’s budget slashes funding for parks and environmental protections, all to hand billions in tax breaks to the ultra-rich. These aren’t just cuts. They are a betrayal of the places we all love.

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

What fascists do

JPMORGAN: Trade war repercussions are “only just now taking full effect. .. federal and local spending is on track to slow to a 1%ar pace .. with the flow of new immigrants slowing to a standstill and deportations on the rise. “.. a period of sustained above-potential US growth is over.” 👀

MCCLENNAN: “.. The inversion of the yield curve which occurred from November 2022 to November 2024 has been telling us to expect a dip in the economy. This usually works with about a 15-month lag time .. So a recession appearing anytime between now and February 2026 would still be right on time.”

Ro Khanna: Here, kitty, kitty. Face-eating leopard: Take a step closer.

This is so important to understand what's behind the anti democracy movements today and crypto and AI and how it all ties together. Please watch! www.youtube.com/live/FWjR6_q...

UPDATE thread: This is likely the kind of shadow docket decision coming for NIH, HHS, and other agencies next week. Get ready, US scientists. Let's focus public attention on the Supreme Court now, so John Roberts worries about the backlash if he votes to allow the DOGE firings. 🧪 1/3

If you think he's mad now, wait until he finds out the resale price for Teslas.

The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s urgent bid for Department of Government Efficiency personnel to access sensitive Social Security data. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reports.

Q: Congressman, are cuts to Medicare now on the table? REP. JOHN McGUIRE: We just want to right size it. Make sure the right people get it. Not illegal aliens.

classic ass covering and setting a defense to point to when questioned about this during the midterms a vote is a vote

I hope those Afrikaners who Trump welcomed here didn’t unpack

Trump is calling all the networks to tell everyone he's not thinking about Musk. Not at all. Nuh uh.

“.. This town is historically built on Republican versus Democrat, and this seems to be crazy versus crazy. It is asymmetric and it seems, for the first time, President Trump seems to be out-crazied.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

bluesky needs to extend its character limit so i can add more Ls to the lolllllll required here

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

😂

Has the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists updated the Doomsday Clock recently? Asking for a friend.

TACO trade (THIS IS NOT INVSTMENT ADVICE PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS LOL)

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

After today's slap-fest I think I want to eat a tub of ice cream and rewatch "War of the Roses" (1989)

David Jolly, the former Republican congressman from Florida, just announced that he's running for governor of the state as a Democrat.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.
