1/ Congress just passed the largest #Medicaid cuts in U.S. history: $1 trillion over 10 years. Only 8% of Americans are aware that this was included in the “Big Beautiful Bill." There’s also been a stunning lack of plain-language explanations that don’t answer the basic questions: How? Why? 👇

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

A whole generation of young scientists and researchers seeing this unfold around them and figuring out how to change course. It's such a loss, and we will feel it for decades.
I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.
Interesting thought on the financial stability. The more stable I personally got, the more time and space I had to gather more information. The more information I had, the more accepting I got.
Hadn't really thought about that till now.

100% decrease in graduate education funding (80% decrease in overall education funding) means we will not have scientists. Between this and the brain drain, you can say goodbye to American science. But the wealthy will have their tax cuts, and that’s what’s important /s

Tree rings show Earth was hit by an extreme solar storm 14,300 years ago, likely caused by multiple CMEs striking in succession. It flooded the atmosphere with radiation, far beyond modern levels, and shows how intense solar activity can become.
