Incredible stuff. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham spent yesterday blasting Rev. Budde and claiming the cathedral had been “taken over by gay activists” — unaware that Trump had frozen a refugee program that Graham supports, and was one of the things Budde was referencing in her sermon.

This isn't just an attack on scientific research. It's an attack on *scientists.*

Central to Trump's "Revolution of Common Sense" is the idea that scientists impede progress in pursuit of political goals.

This move -- Telegraphed in Project 2025 -- upends life for those who depend on NIH funding.

Trump is now claiming that he supports temporary work visas because "I have many on my properties," meaning that if they're good for him and tech oligarchs like Musk, he's for them.

This is only the latest sign that we're going to see this whole process thoroughly corrupted:
I think we could see mass deportations selectively applied: In blue areas, highly-publicized raids; in some red areas, Trump-allied Rs and favored industries quietly secure forbearance.

There's some historical precedent for this, as I document here.
