This thread is stunning. Amazing use of the history of an industry show historical dynamics of immigration.

Thank god Dems didn't give up that valuable weapon, the filibuster! How would they oppose this administration without it?

San Giovanni in Monte! It was a monastery, then a prison, and now part of the university.

I'm some combination of sad and weirdly proud that Martin's obituary contains things that have been flagged here. This at least gives me a heads up to make sure I have the original language saved.

The Dems are always required, by the entire national political framing, to be the Adults in the Room.

The GOP has always been given a Oh Those Scamps, Always Trying To Get Away With Whatever They Can free pass.

It’s a deeply toxic framing, am convinced it played a big role in getting us to here.

Here’s an estimate of what research institutions in Louisiana would lose from the NIH indirect cost reductions, in case you’re calling senators and representatives about this issue. The thread has information for most states.

Louisiana: In 2024, 5 schools received more than $10 million in grants for a total of $193 million. Of that, $128 million went directly to research and $65 million went to facilities and administration. The new rate would bring that to $19 million, a loss of $46 million.

This is an unfortunately useful analysis.
