The US government won’t care because SoaceX is a privately held company and not a university.

It’s completely against merit…if merit were the only consideration, nearly all of the anti-DEI folks would be unemployed.

So much of the Trump administration is people just refusing to accept they have a responsibility to the role they've been selected to serve in, unlike all those who came before them. So you just have agency heads, etc. who are all deeply unserious people

And they consistently are allowed to continue failing upward.

Fig. 1: AIssistant processes an AI-human generated research idea along with supporting notes, routes them through a pipeline of specialized LLM agents, and outputs both a per- spective paper and a review paper.

All hype about the power of facilitating "human-AI collaboration" aside, we don't quickly implement extremely strong norms of disclosure around AI use, science is cooked.

From arxiv.org/pdf/2509.12282, one of many many efforts in this direction.

Every day there are like 3 new things that happen that 25 years ago would have instantly disqualified someone from public office.

What's happening in Texas (and possibly NY, CA, IN, and elsewhere) around gerrymandering is a reminder: The Democratic Party needs to invest in winning state legislative races *every cycle, all the time.* You never know when a crisis will hit and we'll wish we had more seats or different leaders.

An estimated 38% of the total corporate cash savings created by Trump and Republicans’ budget bill will flow to just four Big Tech companies: Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet.

Just so happens that each donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Talk about a return on investment.

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.

Am I doing this right?

Data is not the plural of anecdote.

PLAYING IT SAFE CAN CAUSE A LOT OF DAMAGE IN THE LONG RUN

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

RFK Jr. is flogging wearable diet/exercise monitors that cost “80 bucks a month”. This is a good demonstration of his complete lack of understanding about public health and people with differing resources from those that he enjoys.

Feed them. Pay them a livable wage. Don’t track their behavior.

Trump post on Juneteenth complaining that we have too many holidays

I don't usually post just to tear something apart, but I'm afraid some people won't see what's actually wrong with this one.

Think about how many federal holidays we have that are explicitly Christian.

Think about how many celebrate the US Military.

Now look at the date he posted this.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Didn’t a certain Republican just pardon around 1500 “violent agitators?” Not sure that you can get much softer than that.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

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

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news.

We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data

It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

Enjoy!

RFK Jr.'s MAHA report cited nonexistent studies Certain studies within the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" report do not exist as cited, ABC News has confirmed.

Gooooooood morning! ☀️

Today, we’re handing the reins to ChatGPT for all our posting!

Just kidding.
We’ll leave that to the college dropouts drafting national health policy with AI and imaginary studies…😵‍💫

MAGA is willfully wrecking america's university system—the envy of the world, the place where ambitious strivers from around the world came to learn & also make contributions to the US—because MAGA hates people who have become educated enough to think for themselves

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS ’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.

@realDonaldTrump I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!! 2.14k ReTruths 8.64k Likes May 26, 2025, 8:27 AM

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
