I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union “should never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

A bit odd given the Director has claimed he is very concerned about the young investigators.

Oh good Lord.

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

Slow Release Of Federal Science Funds Holds Up Research Some money allocated for scientific research has been restored to the federal budget, but the White House OMB has been slow to release it.

This is why simply passing a budget that isn't a 37% cut is not sufficient. This is why "the extent to which funding was restored" cannot be the measure of success.

'It Was Very Creepy': These People Say They Lost Global Entry Just For Watching ICE Agents Two people claim they were punished for acts of protest, and an internal government memo suggests they may not be the last.

I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

I just once again am left grasping to understand where a gay man gets the *audacity* to be like "these kids are just confused and being influenced by trends in society and it's probably just a phase anyway"

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Seems like everyone agrees to having Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Endah Kurgat on Team USA for the World Road Running Championships. Getting there through USATF's existing rulebook is the messy part.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Yes. 🙄 Approximately half of ICs have routinely ignored study section in the same way NIH is now requiring of all ICs.

Screenshot of a headline in the Atlantic. It says "In Defense of Effeminate Gay Boys. If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel"

I actually know the answer to this:

There's nothing that anybody could have said or done when you were a child to make you straight because you are not straight.

In the *exact same* way, nothing could have made you trans because you aren't trans.

and you'd think we'd learn from Afganistan too

When Compliance Becomes A Crime What Does Transgender Citizenship Mean after a New Kansas Law?

New from @isaacsederbaum.bsky.social & @paisleycurrah.com at Can We Still Govern:
