Can confirm that this is affecting NIH as well.

We have had skilled IT staff, with scientific computing experience, removed.

Much of the IT and cybersecurity infrastructure underpinning the US health system is in danger of a possible collapse following a purge of IT staff and leadership at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, four current and former agency workers tell WIRED.

#ScienceMatters and so does #NIH funding
💯.
US science is so powerful because public dollars are spent, by the government, on fundamental research that the private sector will not support. If NIH goes away, US biomedical science will collapse.
Another way to say it : one of the reasons why US science is so powerful is that they have much more money than many places for their research. This also creates all kind of self reinforcing effects.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’

Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist.

But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity?

If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
