This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

It’s very difficult to see how this assault on the constitutional order and democratic self-government can be defeated without a broad-scale mobilization of civil society.

But I’m also aware the Trumpists have been entirely clear they want to take radical measures to suppress protests.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14?

What about the White House?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
