I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.
When the Trump administration froze this Nobel Prize–winning neuroscientist's research funding, he received an email from China offering to relocate his lab to any city and university of his choice, with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

Good morning from LA, where things are calm and relatively back to normal.
The 101 is open, people are going to work.
The city did not tear itself apart, there weren’t mass arrests of protesters nor mass injuries of law enforcement.
Philly was worse when the Eagles won.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Can’t amplify this point enough. Tariffs are import taxes paid by Americans, not the target country.
If you take anything away from today's WH announcements it is this:
You will pay the tariffs. They are a tax on Americans.

Some I promised photos of this guy, here’s…this guy.
(His vest is actually a suiticle - kind of a compression garment he work for a few weeks after he had surgery in early November. He’s still a little chilly from losing most of his back due to the shaver!)

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans.
This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases.

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence
