Mass exit of American scientists is going to reshape the world and erode the power that the United States has.
We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Who cares about the journalist? He was the most professional member of the group. The scandal is these idiots engaged in secret national security on insecure commercial phone apps - and one member on his personal phone in Moscow.

Why government workers and military planners all love Signal now
The encrypted chat app beloved by Elon Musk and foreign dissidents has been embraced by federal government workers, DOGE and military planners.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.
Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.
