This is extremely significant. Former 🇮🇱 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (2006-9) wrote in a May 22 Haaretz op-ed that Israel is:
🔴 intentionally waging a war of annihilation
🔴 premeditatedly adopting a policy of starvation
🔴 massacring civilians
🔴 making declarations of genocide

A thread about this name dispute: in medieval times, bodies of water were often named for where they led, hence the common use of names invoking Persia because of Siraf and other Persian ports. A Persian source, meanwhile, called it the Gulf of Iraq, while "Gulf of Basra" was common in 1600's (1)

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

This is not just undermining accountability for past crimes. It's a green light for violence if that violence serves the President's will. A truly dangerous moment in America. We have crossed the rubicon.
President Trump's move to pardon nearly all of the 1,600 rioters charged with storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 would effectively undo years of efforts by federal investigators to seek accountability for the mob assault on the peaceful transfer of power after Trump's loss in the 2020 election.
Trump Grants Broad Clemency to Jan. 6 Rioters
The extraordinary pardons and commutations extended to those who committed both violent and nonviolent crimes on Jan. 6, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.

This is genuinely disturbing. Removal of security for people known to be assassination targets in order to punish them for their political opposition. It is not a threat of violence, but it amounts to a threat to allow violence against political opponents.
