The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

This is going to be full of exonerative tense gaslighting where Lauer pretends he wasn’t the guy who was in charge of extramural awards from 2015-2025, isn’t it?
“The system of funding science is fundamentally broken. In some respects, it’s been an unmitigated disaster. It was a house of cards, and it’s not surprising that it’s now falling apart.”

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
