Using #covercrops to minimize waterhemp seed rain is valuable and necessary because this superweed new to NY is resistant to glyphosate AND mesotrione AND atrazine AND thifensulfuron. Thanks to excellent work by

Yes, as should our members of Congress. It's yet another measure of cowardice that all of them aren't screaming to the rafters about these cuts; "leopards' faces" hypocrisy notwithstanding, these will deeply and negatively affect their constituents' lives.
for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

This piece by Anne Linn, a dedicated USAID worker and devout Christian, exemplifies the fundamental question we all are dealing with as Americans.

Are we great because we have power ? Or because we use our power to do good ?

Apropos of nothing…I think it is important to remember that a subset of the America people lost their absolute shit because they thought NPR was spewing liberal propaganda on the 4th of July.

And it was only a reading of the US Constitution.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
