Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

The UK thought it could leave the EU and still call the shots. Five years on, reality has set in. Dr Daniele Saracino unpacks the UK's weaker negotiating position.
EU solidarity – the UK is out in the cold now

"Days before Donald Trump’s inauguration... an article appeared in the US magazine The Atlantic: ‘How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days’.

Trump’s name doesn’t appear at all in the piece by Timothy Ryback, a historian and an authority on 1930s Germany. But joining the dots is not difficult."
Trump: following in Hitler’s footsteps?
As Trump begins his second term with the far right on the march across America, is history about to repeat itself in more ways than one?

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Just remember that Trump, on his 2nd day in office, fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration then fired the entire Aviation Security Administration &
stopped all hiring of Air Traffic Controllers.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Trump says he will 'expand our territory'.

A speech worthy of Hitler. The free world must prepare to repel the fascist hordes.
