We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good.
But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.

Anyone who tries to sell the notion that Jan. 6 was not an attempted coup, does not believe in democracy. You can be upset when your candidate loses, but can’t demand that you get you way over the votes of a fair and free election. #ProtectVotingRights

There is no good reason for Trump to be involved in Ukraine negotiations.
Europe pays everything; Trump pays nothing.
Epstein emails and new leaks also prove Trump is compromised and under Russian blackmail, while Witkoff clearly backs Moscow over the US and Ukraine.
Trump out!

What is our responsibility as scientists when our findings are ignored and our warnings disregarded?
At the Public Forum, after several talks and discussion, we concluded: Given the scale and urgency of the climate crisis, „science as usual“ is not an option.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Ardisia (739 spp) is a pantropical member of the Mysinoideae. The ones I know best are shrubs & small trees. Some are cultivated; some are invasive.
1. A. escallonioides is native to FL.
2. A. elliptica is an Asian species naturalized in FL.
