The Families must've told her that they absolutely wouldn't believe her on not abandoning the governorship to run for president again and would pull out all the stops to kneecap her if she tried.

this is going to be very, very unpopular

-A complete programmatic review, of the entire NIH, at this time of year, at this time of day, localized to and completed entirely within 8 hours?

-Yes.

-May I see it?

-No.

Who intervened to stop Vought this time? My understanding was that there were no adults in the room in this administration this time around.

They simply believed that he would just remove all regulation for them, opening the door to record profits, and really only go after food manufacturing

Well guess it's time to get started on a new career: stealing catalytic converters from the business school parking lot.

It absolutely will not make a different to him, he's in it for the live of destroying modernity.

Honestly, I see very little chance of an outcome here other than the Supreme Court ruling that it is very legal and very cool for a Trump appointee to flagrantly violate the Impound Act to destroy the NIH

This is a clear attempt to wind down the NIH. Stop new funding now, pocket rescission, choke off funds in FY26. Done.

This is just straight-up an Impoundment Act violation, isn't it?

But have you considered just how much money a few grifters could make off of this?

Completely missed that the Norwegian tourist turned away for JD Vance memes on his phone is named Mads Mikkelsen, simulation gettin glitchy

Lmao

Yeah, sure, that'll work. That's totally enough money.

Libs need to get it through our heads the old world is dead because it’s literally existential. You know what you call an army that gets purged by fascists half the time but doesn’t get counterpurged by libs the other half in the long term? A fascist army.

notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

congratulations assholes, you’ve bullied Gavin into getting off his right wing podcast circuit and back to pretending to care about his constituents again

that’s a hell of a fuckup on your part

I will forgive newsom if he wins a constitutional crisis by successfully ordering the national guard back to their posts

Do you know how bad things have to be for LAPD to look like they're restrained?

Like, hey, a lot of you let in the Rationalists and now you're surprised that they're attempting to do exactly the things they said they would do?

A lot of biosci being blindsided by all this is because a lot of biosci is fundamentally incurious about what goes on in various subcultures.

The top priority for Trump 2.0 is to punish the libs and science is lib-coded despite “STEM” being centrist to conservative coded because the pro-STEM rhetoric is really just anti-humanities rhetoric, they don’t actually support science and half of them think the Earth is 6,000 years-old.

Lmao
Look at this fucking bullshit

Ah, who could ever forget the secret 8th article of the Constitution granting that the Fed is "simply built different"

Always had a feeling Lorsch was a PoS

🎶illegal impoundment🎶

This is just a distillation of Rationalist talking points

Absolutely hilarious that all the usual suspects less than a day after "apologizing" for believing Joe Biden was totally telling them the truth about Gaza are now all scrambling to post that "prostrate cancer can just show up and spread to your bones in a month, you don't even know!"

Nothing in Josh's blogpost takes this into account and seemingly settles on "if only we mobilize the people that live with disease, the Republicans will surely see that they have been wrong".

Come the fuck on.

...(5) Zionists like Bill Ackman want to see universities punished for free speech.

This is happening for the following reasons, in no particular order: (1) HHS head is a crank; (2) NIH director is a crank with an axe to grind against people who laughed at him on Twitter; (3) Vought doesn't like government spending in general; (4) Fauci embarrassed Trump; and...
