More bad news in the research world.

Trump was impeached, twice.

Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

GOP just voted to rip health care from 552K West Virginians, slash food aid for 307K, and raise energy bills — all to give billionaires a tax break.

“The Trump administration’s egregious, corrupt, and disgraceful abuse of power continues, this time by kicking dedicated scientists out of their building so HUD Secretary Turner can have a penthouse dining suite. For an administration so obsessed with claiming that it's cutting spending, how can Trump justify the tax-payer dollars it will take to meet Turner’s ridiculous demands, like a gym for his exclusive use or parking spaces for his five cars? Instead of investing in our future, the Trump Administration is investing in private perks for Secretary Turner. Where will NSF staff go? What is the Trump administration’s plan? Once again, science loses, the American taxpayer loses, and our competitors, like China, win.”

Statement from Rep. Zoe Lofgren (Ranking Member on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee):

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Hooray!

It was so nice to see positive research news today. NIH grant terminations were illegal. And the judge went farther. This thread tells you a lot.

Great turnout at the Morgantown #NoKings rally today. Really positive response from cars driving by, too!

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.

This ain’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

His deposition in this case would be great.

I'm eternally grateful to wvhumanities.org for the fellowship they gave me to work on health humanities. Like many other humanities organizations, they face an uncertain future. With modest fundraising, they can continue their important work. Consider a donation, if you can, and please forward.

Maybe you don’t realize how many Gen X women fans you have!

NSF slashes number of ‘rotators’ and well-paid managers as part of restructuring Smaller future budgets will require fewer people, NSF official tells staff

NSF officials announced they are essentially abandoning the use of “rotators”— scientists on leave from academic positions who help the agency choose the best research to fund. NSF also plans to reduce the number of administrators classified as senior executive service employees. scim.ag/3EKnxmc

Correct headline:

"Vulnerable Floridia pensioner realises he's been scammed by Russian mobster"

Morgantown, WV today

This thread (and this opinion):

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.

Trump just announced tariffs so wide-reaching, they now cover a sub-Antarctic island group populated mostly by penguins and a Norwegian Arctic archipelago best known for its polar bears.

Cancelling a Black woman. The WHCA is complicit.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.

He should be fired immediately.

Yes. Judges need to ask in open court if they are lying or Trump is lying.

Exactly two people are celebrating the United States’ great abdication:

Trump and Putin.

The world weeps. Europe acts. And decades of U.S. leadership have been lost.

We will look back on today as the day that the US became Russia’s ally. This day should never have come. I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Multiple sources say she left government and returned in January.

She was reportedly hired in January. How does she have vacation time?
