I want to report some good news from LA:

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

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.

History says you are correct.

Maybe they meant accepting (and publishing) negative results as well as positive ones which would make sense.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

NEW: someone got a photo of the list of lies republicans plan to tell about the billionaire bailout bill.

I rarely see R21 proposals anymore. I am in TX and the state has an agency called CPRIT that funds a good number of our cancer research projects. It is a bit of stability in the current times.

Gini index between 25 & 30.

Glad you are posting this. I've been saying this for years. I can't remember when any of my faculty submitted a modular R01 proposal in the past few years. We generally submit detailed budgets with direct costs around $450K. NCI only funds at the 83% level anyway.

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

Guess I will keep my buying to a minimum until the ship rights itself.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I pledge another $100 for that.

What did you stock up on? I'm not really sure what to stock up on. I usually have at least a months worth of everything I need. A case of TP from Costco lasts 6 months as does a case of their paper towels.

I don't think he was encouraging hoarding. Stock up like you would in prep for a hurricane or similar natural disaster maybe. It is hard to do if you have a large family.

No clue what to actually stock up on anyway.

We have an IRACDA program at our university. I wonder if it got cancelled also. I'll have to check on the other types. Sad situation.

UATX is not accredited.

Yep, happened to me also.

Local media is super important to get the community involved.

I guess we'll just have to get our vaccines when we go on vacation outside the USA. I don't get his negative obsession with vaccines.

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

100% this!

Are they supposed to take their devices to the bathroom also?

Leon Panetta, one of the most qualified people in Democratic party history to talk about this stuff, is calling for firings. Not just hearings. Firings.

The @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov should be doing the same right now. Leon gave you all the cover you need to do it.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

How many years were you into the study?
