In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

I hope JD goes there, gets yelled at and whistled at and falls on his ice in the street and then everyone one makes fun of him for skiing in jeans
JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

#Celegans folks - What is your experience this year with the NIH? I'm troubled that a trainee was told that our work is too "NSF'y" just because we are using worms to address foundational questions. This might have been just one PO, or it might be evidence of a major shift in NIH priorities. ??

Friends... turn off your Ring cameras. As many anticipated, they are now being used by the state to surveil people for ICE. We have become a society afraid of all the wrong things and on guard from all the wrong people.

It should be based on merit. Indeed.
This is argument is based on two flawed assumptions:
That people from diverse backgrounds don’t have merit.
That we can accurately measure merit in ways that don’t introduce bias.

Sent an email last night to the members of my department encouraging them to contact our Congressional representatives with a simple ask: use 2024 multi year funding levels, NOT 2025 multi year funding levels, in the 2026 NIH funding bill
Here’s the deal with the FY26 NIH funding bill:
One line in the 1000+ pg bill = significantly less science.
The increase to ~40% of grants moving to MYF is estimated to result in a 35% decrease in the NUMBER of NIH grants funded annually—moving the paylines from 10% to around 4%.
THIS IS BAD.
