"Going to the doctor is fun"

That's where we're at now with this administration's lies.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pulte's only qualification is that he is willing to abuse his authority to destroy Trump's political enemies.

He has zero national security experience. He's going to DNI to spy on Trump's opponents ahead of the election.

Period. Stop.

And Trump doesn't care if you know it.

60 minutes is dead. What’s on now is just the remnants of a legendary news magazine. The Ellison’s can’t be reasoned with because they’re killing the show by design. So fuck em. NBC or ABC should hire the whole staff and re-create the show in the same timeslot with a new name.

RETWEET if you support Scott Pelley after CBS News has just fired him.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

If implemented, this would be one of the most significant shifts in federal research governance in modern U.S. history.

The concern is not simply budget cuts. It is political review moving into individual grant decisions - fundamentally changing how American science operates.

@lpachter Sean was my TA when I was an undergrad in Boulder. He had a big influence on my career then, even if he didn’t know it, and has since. His science is amazing. This is absurd.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

[Arjun Raj @arjunrajlab]

Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

Woah. A profound shift in American science is coming.

Every federal research grant could soon require sign-off from a political appointee.

Scientific progress depends on funding decisions grounded in merit and public health need, NOT ideological approval.

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

Having Milli Vanilli, a group who ended up admitting they didn't actually sing on their records, as performers for Freedom 250, is one of the most on brand things Trump has done.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

@Palle_Hoffstein @kamikazevondoom The new purple flame animated outfit is incredible!

[Anshul Kundaje @anshulkundaje]

For the whole U.S. job market, H1B workers are < 0.5% of employment. And in the tech sector it's < 9%. While there is certainly abuse of H1B & we need reform to cut this out, overwhelming majority of H1Bs make short & long term net positive contributions. It's not zero sum.

[Bardia @TSMERDIST]

This is exactly what many legal immigrants have been trying to explain.

Forcing students, researchers, physicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and workers to leave the United States during green card processing would create enormous instability for people who already followed every legal rule and built lives here in good faith.

Combined with the #USCISpause, these policies are already causing job loss, frozen work authorization, family separation, financial hardship, and deep uncertainty for countless lawful immigrants contributing to America’s economy, universities, hospitals, and research institutions.

A strong immigration system should attract and retain talent, not push it away.

@anshulkundaje I love podcasts and audiobooks. One of my favorite ways to consume media while doing other tasks.

@lpachter Jeez. And here I am having a hard time READING one paper every 2 days let alone writing one
