So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

I have heard @ucirvine.bsky.social will see a $125 million cut if the proposed NIH cuts (currently on hold while they are being litigated) go through.

This means grad students will lose their funding, labs and trials will be shut down, and more. 1/

Historians agree. Courts are trying. But with a president who assumes that they don’t matter?

I used to joke about a farmer in 1796 who assumed that the entire government consisted of President John Adams. Period.
