As the Trump administration destroys science in the United States, keep an eye on what is happening in Serbia.
Researchers say the rule will make it impossible for the majority of scientists in the country to carry on with, or to apply to, prestigious ERC research grants, or grants from Serbia’s own national science foundation.

Bukele just posted this on X, suggesting he arranged a meeting between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Chris Van Hollen. He then used it to mock his critics for expressing concern about Mr. Abrego.
If these photos are real, it suggests diplomatic pressure worked, despite his "I'm not mad" attitude.
