Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

I like how with the whole “sitting on Epstein files” and “actually the rape victim was the instigator and Matt Gaetz was the real victim” stuff most papers would take a little break. But not the New York Times. They want to repeatedly hammer home just how fucking awful they are.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

I'd guess that 85-90% of American scientists would be ineligible for future funding under this law, maybe close to 100% in the R1 universities. So much for funding proposals based on scientific merit.
Apart from being sinophobes, the people pushing this have no clue how science or higher ed works.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”
