Is DOGE cutting the size of the federal government? No. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpNg...

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?

we may not agree on much, but I agree with Trump here. make those planes with haste, boys. cut any corner necessary!

If the president can unilaterally decide whether to spend money authorized by Congress, then he can obviously use that power as a weapon to defy Congress, ignore the law, and destroy and punish groups or individuals according to his whims. That's why it's illegal & unconstitutional.

I will die for my country of Philadelphia

If we all embrace the Philly mindset we can defeat fascism

like leave this family alone lol

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE’s Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn’t exist.

incredible blog. 15/10. go give @edsbs.bsky.social and @hollyanderson.bsky.social money.

A whole bunch of people who were totally cool with posting the addresses of NIH/CDC employees during COVID are now absolutely apoplectic that people would publish the mere names of people forcing their way into government agencies and accessing sensitive data.

Weird, huh?

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

3/ different pieces fit together. There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…

Hey America, get off your ass and do it. That’s Germany. That’s how it’s done. Now it’s your turn. Get off social media, stop complaining and GET IT DONE !!

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

Have just learned that in Sicily, a breakfast item is the brioche con gelato, which is a brioche bun split in half and filled with gelato. Why am I not eating that right now? Why not ice cream for breakfast? It’s not like anything matters
