A study imagined NIH with 40% less funding. The result? More than half of FDA-approved drugs since 2000 might not exist. Basic research dollars have real-world impact.

Science costs money – research is guided by who funds it and why
The federal government is more likely to fund curiosity-driven basic research, while industry is more likely to support research that has a clearer eventual payoff.

Like Sauron reentering Mordor to rebuild his power, Trump essentially willed his comeback into existence. But as "The Lord of the Rings" reminds us, the best weapon these villains wield is despair—and we don't have to give in.

J.R.R. Tolkien has a message for us: Don’t give in to Trump.

Dead crops in the fields are a metaphor for our democracy. Plants and a nation left to whither & rot, killed by the poison of hate. Perhaps we should view these killing fields as a reminder of what happens when people are driven by pure hate & evil.
The crops are dead. America is dead.

UPDATE: Fmr. President Bill Clinton: "I'm worried that we're at risk of losing our freedom of speech, and that the weight of the government is being used to restrict expression from journalism to comedy."
"It causes societies to fail when their institutions are all discredited."

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

Every government shutdown without exception occurred during a Republican controlled congress.

1/3 ICE ripped a father from his car outside his child’s PRESCHOOL in Beaverton. Masked agents shattered his window like a SWAT raid—during drop-off.
Mahdi Khanbabazadeh is married to a U.S. citizen and mid–green card process. This wasn’t law—it was cruelty, fear, and unchecked power.

DOGE is knitting together immigration databases from across DHS & uploading data from outside agencies including the Social Security Admin. (SSA), as well as voting records, sources say. This, experts tell WIRED, could create a system that could later be searched to identify & surveil immigrants.
