Bhattacharya, a moment ago: "What you've been seeing in the press is that there have been funding cuts. There haven't been funding cuts. What there has been is a change in agency priorities."

According to the governor of the Italian region where Milan is, JD Vance and Marco Rubio will go to the Winter Olympics escorted by members of ICE. The transformation of ICE and DHS from homeland security and immigration to private squads of government officials?

Italian journalists of RAI (the Italian major TV and public station) stopped and threatened by ICE. This should not be the narrative the US government wants to send abroad.

Sorry, this is no longer true. Why is Trump still in power? Why is ICE able to murder people with no repercussions? Why is the liberal world order being destroyed with no effective resistance from Americans? Trump is the symptom. American society is diseased.

Dear World,

Please remember that it’s Donald Trump who is a psychotic lunatic, not the entire United States.

Please help us put this all back together when he’s gone.

Interesting paper in Nature Methods. Rather than having a series of time-lapse images or repeated biopsies, the authors work with one fixed section of a tissue and use the spatial organization within the tissue cell populations dynamics over time (spatial snapshot).
