We will put forward a 500 million package for 2025-2027 to make Europe a magnet for researchers.

As well as ambitious proposals for R&I in the next EU budget.

We will also offer the best and brightest the right incentives to come to Europe ↓

Terrible news out of Coles County.

My administration is monitoring the situation as we keep those impacted by the plane crash in our thoughts today.

Thank you to the first responders who rushed to the scene.

Please follow the guidance of officials as they provide assistance.

It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it
may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naΓ―ve to believe
our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American
ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the
best that is within us while there is still time. 
In sum, and for the reasons foregoing, we deny the motion for the stay pending
appeal and the writ of mandamus in this case. It is so ordered.
For the Court

Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit:

"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naΓ―ve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

Racism, authoritarianism, & treating some people in America as less human than others is bad, actually. Happy Jackie Robinson Day.

Hey Sam, just wanted to thank you for honestly engaging with the community. I thought you were polite and non-argumentative, and it's good to see people able to have constructive discussions online. I can see you absolutely had the best intentions with this

Sure, there's a few main reasons. 1. GenAI is normally trained unethically using copyrighted material.
2. It's taking jobs away from journalists. Why not pay creatives for their work?
3. Hallucinations and errors are real. Who is double checking the work, and why can't they write the summaries?

NEW: Northern Ireland’s First Minister, Michelle O’Neill, announces she is boycotting White House events in response to Trump’s policy on Gaza.

There are deep ties between Northern Ireland, the US & the Presidency forged during the peace process. Ties Trump is clearly shredding.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

β€žAnyone who has studied science under the Nazis, as I did for my book Serving the Reich, cannot fail to be dismayed and alarmed at the parallels in the response so far of scientific institutions and academies to the purges and abuses of power following Trump’s executive ordersβ€œ πŸ§ͺ

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Birthright Citizenship and Undocumented Immigrants "If the new administration goes through with this proposal whether by executive action or legislation, courts should and most likely would strike it down."

As expected:

"A federal judge said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship was β€œBLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL” and that he was issuing a temporary restraining order to block it." via @cnn.com (emphasis added)

Here's why:

Remember:

It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging.

But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are.

Who we are isn’t up to him.
