Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Bill Browder on X:

"A Russian scientist who opposed Putin’s war, fled Russia & found work at Harvard was detained at Logan Airport returning from a French academic conference and has been sent to an immigration detention center in Louisiana for deportation to Russia."

Habe nun mit mehreren WissenschaftlerInnen gesprochen, die Fachkonferenzen in den USA lieber auslassen, weil die Lage so unklar ist. Die, die doch hinfahren, besorgen dafür eigens neue Laptops und Handys. Surreal. Die breite Öffentlichkeit realisiert noch immer zu wenig, wie ernst die Lage ist.

Now more than ever, we must step up action and protect #HealthForAll.

Recent funding cuts are hitting global health hard—let’s take action before it’s too late! 🧵

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.

Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

NEW: Two top security officials at USAID were put on admin leave Saturday night after refusing to allow officials from Musk’s DOGE to access systems at the agency, even after DOGE personnel threatened to call law enforcement, multiple sources familiar told CNN www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

For a European observer of the inauguration, the convictions (of three reverends, a priest, a rabbi) and prayers look somewhat peculiar in a country with official separation of state and religion.

Bioresonanz. Die Älteren von euch erinnern sich ja daran, dass ich diese Studie so mag.
