This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Two employees of Elon Musk’s DOGE at the Social Security Administration violated security rules by sharing highly sensitive data, according to a DOJ court filing.

This is far from the only damage DOGE is leaving behind. Watch.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I wonder how long it will take the D politicians talking about “reforming” this organization to catch on to the fact that this cannot ever be reformed.

Abolish ICE and bar anyone working there to ever work for the government or in LE again. Build something new without the endemic rot.
I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

One of the reasons the Founders created the 7th amendment (right to a jury trial in civil matters) was so you could sue the shit out of abusive government officials and bankrupt them. Of course, it’s been denuded over the years by the government does no wrong crowd, but it’s ready for a comeback.

Just astonishing good news. We are on the way to end Multiple Sclerosis.

University research delivers. Always has. Now a cabal in the White House is shattering it.
Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!!
