💯. So demoralizing to have built your career to advance science, which is fundamental to our economy, competitive edge, and national security...just to have the rug pulled out from beneath you and demonized.

This is so insane

Chilling article in the Atlantic. DOGE is doing severe damage to our national security. You don't "move fast and break things" when it comes to the safety and security of our country. The worries expressed in this art are unfortunately coming to fruition already.

Danielle Sassoon is an American Patriot! Great example to the rest of us trying to navigate this mess and maintain our integrity.

Important reminder: they are always lying.

Media who treat the first answer the admin/Musk give as true or credible have not learned the lesson: “The emails viewed by The Times undercut the Treasury’s explanation for why Mr. Krause and his team were given access to the payment system last week.”

I just want to say what should be obvious here: we're supposed to have 3 co-EQUAL branches of govt to check each other. I grew up with very powerful House speakers and senate leaders who defended the powers of their branch. Now we have the opposite of "Profiles in Courage". Lindsey Graham anyone?

It took many decades for power to bleed from the other branches to the Executive. Both parties played a role in this (and everyone liked things like executive orders and signing statements when their side was doing them), but that gets us HERE. Remember Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill"? Outdated.

Since we can't depend on the legislative branch this will come down to SCOTUS.And it can go one of 2 ways:Trump will get the ruling he wants or we will have another Jacksonian "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!"moment. That's the hinge point. (And btw Trump loves Jackson).

Voice is still gone...X HH account still locked...but , on another note,the stuff Trump is suggesting in Gaza is one of the most stupid things I've ever heard of. The blowback from this will be enormous. Americans will die because of this. This is unhinged policy making.

I work with federal data and have access to social security numbers, which Elon Musk has just accessed.
I had to pass a federal criminal background check with fingerprinting, two drug tests, multiple trainings, and all my file access is monitored.
Musk walked in with a hard drive.

Remember their names for the History books when future generations want to know why diseases that were eradicated in the 20th century made a comeback in the 21st century…

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary:

"I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it."

BOOM!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Elon Musk claims to have "deleted" the office in the IRS which has enabled people to file their tax returns electronically, simply, and for free.

This administration will have disastrous impacts on science and education in the U.S. this is just the start I fear. Please share far and wide. 🧪 www.npr.org/sections/sho...
