Trump just revoked my security clearance… one small problem: I haven’t had one in years. 😂

This isn’t about security—it’s about his fragile ego and petty revenge.

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.
Per a source (and similar post on Reddit, fwiw), NIH RIF plan may centralize and cut the number of institutes and centers by around half.

“This is the end of NIH as we know it.”

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

History will not be kind to those who are helping him, especially those who call themselves Reagan Republicans while they pretend not to see what’s happening.

We're programmed to think big companies make things the right way and individual people can't be trusted.

We're going to have to break out of that rut, to stop trusting them so much.

It's like the 2008 banking crisis all over, but this time they've taken over the government, not just the economy.

The only reason Trumpism works is because it’s identity-based, not policy-based. It’s not about logic—it’s about belonging to a group that thrives on shared outrage.

Logic won’t fix it.

They believe in a world that doesn’t exist and see no problem in the fact that they can’t prove what they say.

But that very last paragraph about MAGA wanting a national #abortion ban because women’s healthcare should also “address the needs of men, families and communities.”

We knew Project 2025 was coming but holy shit - I barfed a little reading that.
