What a great and exhausting visit. Bright minds, concluding that no technological progress has ever been immune to misuse, and questioning how, why, and what we might do about it in the face of oncoming fascist control of science, research funding, and academia.
The Decency Project ends its 10-day visit to the Colorado School of Mines. Over 200 young scientists questioned how to recognize those who might profit from their disregard for the harm they cause, and what any individual might be able to do, to scrape just a little off the shame of that disregard.

All of us? Except leaders Schumer and Jeffries, perhaps. It's time to jettison the empty suits.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Follow the money. Behind every one of these orders and firings and dismantlings, it's all economic - we're being stripped for parts while we're arguing about what to call the sea.

And you thought Susan Collins was the only one capable of performing dramatic theater! Look at little Josh run...
Sen. Josh Hawley rebukes Vance and allies for suggesting that court orders should be disobeyed. Great to see a GOP senator speaking out against this anti-American idea.

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.
