Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

ICE rolls up in full battle gear to pluck low-hanging fruit - busboys, day laborers, people dutifully reporting for immigration proceedings, people who have contributed to the economy for years, decades. How small and cowardly. Go into the gang-controlled areas to get the criminals 47 shouted about.

If English is the official language, I expect everyone to use correct verb tense forms, pronoun order, and apostrophes.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

For all federal employees:
Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.
If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Don’t sign shit. Make them fire you. Do not resign your position based on an assurance from an administration whose head has a reputation for stiffing contractors who did work for him.
I have no idea what the federal "buyout" is offering, less of an idea of whether it even approaches legal, and, yes, I've seen copies of the email on a couple of different sites. And read them.
Seriously:
If you are a federal employee and are considering replying, get qualified counsel first.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?
