The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.

This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

what the fuck are we even doing
Without turning on their emergency lights, Brevard County, Fla. police follow car they think is stolen but is not. The 16-year-old driver stops, and officers—in violation of policy—get out of their cars with guns drawn. The teen drives on, and an officer shoots and kills him and also the 18-year-old backseat passenger. Plaintiffs: At no point was the officer in danger. The teen was trying to go around him, and indeed did. Shooting through the windshield was unconstitutional, and so was shooting through the driver-side window as the car went past. Eleventh Circuit: The officer might have reasonably believed he was in danger. (Video here.)

The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.
