This is terrible.
The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.
Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

Do we need a movie where Danny Ocean, Ethan Hunt, and Nicolas Cage team up to stop a villain—middle aged white man with foreign accent—and his teenage minions from pulling off the biggest heist in history, stealing everyone’s data from the govt?
Will that get the public to treat it as actually bad?

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

One Colorado Republican in Congress is criticizing President Trump for pardoning J6 rioters who violently attacked police. It's not former police officer Rep. Gabe Evans. He's still in line with Trump. It's fellow freshman Rep. Jeff Hurd. #copolitics

A quick note: It is my view that the term “First Felon” should be capitalized both out of respect and because it refers to a very specific individual.
New pod with @gtconway.bsky.social is up. We discuss our first felon president and more.
