Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

The US funds the bulk of biomedical research globally by far. It's not like other countries can simply take up the slack. The more likely: people leave research, new people don't become researchers. There is no happy ending. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

These are violations of international law as well as of our constitutional separation of powers. More importantly, it is morally repugnant to murder people without trial based solely on speculation. Particularly when the speculation comes from an administration of known fabulists and liars.

This was $12.94 last year.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

ICE and Border Patrol’s use of tear gas injures, sickens and tests the law Federal immigration agents say chemical agents are needed to disperse violent protesters. But videos also show them firing at people in aggressive and ‘unorthodox’ ways.

Federal immigration officers are using chemical irritants to disperse protesters in ways that violate American policing norms and test the boundaries of use-of-force laws, video footage from Chicago shows.

With Deep Pockets, the Anti-Kennedy Cabal Wants to Remove the Secretary From Office. They Will Fail. By Adam Garrie, Contributor, The MAHA Report

MAHA Action, the 501(c)(4) dark money group founded to support (and sell) Robert Kennedy Jr.’s anti-science agenda at HHS, is attacking the March for Science and Health.

In its “report,” it calls @accountabilityji.bsky.social “a pro-censorship group.”

And I think that’s objectively hilarious.

If you eliminate billionaires, the stock market will go, too, according to Mark Cuban

Under Vinay Prasad, employees at a key FDA center fear speaking out, look for the exits Exclusive: Vinay Prasad has rattled FDA staff by expanding his power and pushing out senior leaders.

EXCLUSIVE: A slow-boiling feud between Vinay Prasad and his staff at the FDA is threatening the future of the center that regulates the nation’s vaccines, biological products, and blood supply. Read more here:

“Some of his workers are fed up, and are attempting to transfer to the FDA’s drug center. Prasad has tried to block these transfers”

This is extremely worrying - it’s not uncommon for folks to move between centers. It’s good for retention and career development!

Donald Trump invited Nick Fuentes to dinner at Mar-a-Lago

Yesterday I said that I abhorred views expressed by Nick Fuentes—and that the best way to fight antisemitic ideas was to challenge them head on. Fuentes replied on X by saying “I don’t know what exactly you ‘abhor’ about my views.” Allow me to elaborate—because there is plenty to condemn. First, the @Heritage Foundation and I denounce and stand against his vicious antisemitic ideology, his Holocaust denial, and his relentless conspiracy theories that echo the darkest chapters of history. We are disgusted by his musings about rape, women, child marriage, and abusing his potential wife. Fuentes made grotesque analogies to try to cast doubt on the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust and has said “I think the Holocaust is exaggerated. I don't hate Hitler.” Fuentes called for the death penalty for “perfidious Jews” and other non-Christians, stating that “when we take power, they need to be given the death penalty.” Fuentes praised Hitler and in the Tucker interview said he is a “Stalin admirer.” Fuentes stated that his goal is “total Aryan victory” and claimed that "black people should be in prison for the most part." This is but a sampling of his vile daily rhetoric. Racism and antisemitism are not relics of the past. They have blossomed on the Left on university campuses and grown on the Right through figures like Fuentes. Nick Fuentes's antisemitism is not complicated, ironic, or misunderstood. It is explicit, dangerous, and demands our unified opposition as conservatives. Fuentes knows exactly what he is doing. He is fomenting Jew hatred, and his incitements are not only immoral and un-Christian, they risk violence.

The Heritage Foundation president just did the dril "issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL. you do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to them'" bit about Nick Fuentes

She has millions of dollars of her own money and is not trapped in her marriage. She chooses to be a self-hating racist piece of garbage

She was making like $2M/yr before she retired to be 2nd (maybe 3rd at this point) lady. She can do anything she wants to do. And she wants to be a racist, anti-immigrant, fascist.

So maybe shut up about these stupid losers and do something better with your time. They’re not happy and that’s all that matters.

JD Vance’s fascist loser wife probably won’t hear you defending her from her fascist loser husband but the people they’re having brutalized and stripped of basic human rights also can’t hear your performative bullshit about their marriage

we are the granddaughters of the monsters you couldn't mash

AK-47s, online chats and a ‘pumpkin day’ reference lead FBI to avert a potential ISIS-inspired terror attack | CNN A group of people who allegedly chatted online about an ISIS-inspired attack went to a shooting range with AK-47s, practiced high-speed reloads and made a reference to “pumpkin day,” authorities said....

Who the fuck is still falling for this shit
