Bar chart titled "Matters of Scale" comparing proposed US research budget cuts to the European Union's €500-million (US$571-million) "Choose Europe" fund. The chart shows: * National Institutes of Health (NIH): $8 billion in cancelled grants and $18 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (long orange bar). * National Science Foundation (NSF): $5.1 billion in proposed cuts by 2026 (shorter orange bar). * EU's Choose Europe fund: $571 million (very short blue bar). The graphic highlights that the EU fund is much smaller in scale compared to the US budget cuts. Text above the chart explains the EU’s intention to attract US researchers in response to policy decisions by the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump.

If people think American scientists are somehow going to land in Europe, I've got news for you about the difference between millions and billions.

RFK JR: No

SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

I wish I could find the skeet about how, after Thurmond gave his lousy “speech” against the Civil Rights Act in 1957, he continued to serve as a Senator until 2003. Insane to me that people continued to vote for someone so passionately opposed to what is right. Can’t stop thinking about it.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.

WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?

“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

You can say, “gravity isn’t real,” but if you step off the cliff, you’re still going down.

And if you convince other people it’s not real, you are responsible for what happens if they make decisions based on the information you withheld.
