Van Hollen: "The Trump admin has essentially said to folks at ICE, 'Anything goes. You have a license to kill. And by the way, we won't investigate you. We'll take care of this for you.' When they're calling these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' what they're saying to ICE is we got your back."

'It sounded kind of crazy': How ripples in the high atmosphere warned scientists of a tsunami in real time Tsunamis are notoriously difficult to spot on the open ocean as they race towards shore. But in the summer of 2025, scientists watched one unfold as it happened.

This is cool

1/ Congress just passed the largest #Medicaid cuts in U.S. history: $1 trillion over 10 years. Only 8% of Americans are aware that this was included in the “Big Beautiful Bill." There’s also been a stunning lack of plain-language explanations that don’t answer the basic questions: How? Why? 👇

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

NIH scientists call on director to protect biomedical research In a public letter, hundreds of scientists expressed their dissent to the Trump administration's policies affecting the National Institutes of Health and called on its director to support the agency.

"Horror show doesn't even come close actually" to describing the situation," Berg said. "It's tremendously damaging to the United States' ability to do research, the U.S. economy, our competitive position in the world."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.

100% decrease in graduate education funding (80% decrease in overall education funding) means we will not have scientists. Between this and the brain drain, you can say goodbye to American science. But the wealthy will have their tax cuts, and that’s what’s important /s
