The latest example of Trump’s relentless assault on free speech.
He's rewriting visa rules to make it harder for foreign reporters to cover his presidency - so he can just kick them out if they write stories he doesn't like.

I liked it when TN was home to older rockers like John Fogarty, Steve Winwood, and Peter Frampton, rather than idiotic nutjobs like Hegseth, Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro. Bring back the (rock ‘n’ roll) dinosaurs!
Defense Sec. Hegseth considered political office in Tennessee, report says
A spokesperson for the Pentagon called the story ‘made up.’

NEW: We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT by the Trump administration.
Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.
All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment.

Have you benefited from a medical treatment or know someone who has? This one man wants to shut it all down. It sounds nonsensical and mad. And it is. But Russell Vought is head of the OMB, wants to and can do it. Call your members of Congress. Get rid of Vought, not medical research.
Russell Vought wanted to shut down all extramural grants from NIH in this current fiscal year, putting stop to ALL research across the US. Someone in the White House had better sense. But Vought is a dangerous man, who will stop at nothing to destroy science in America. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I covered yesterday's press conference by U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles so reporters didn't have to work on a holiday--the event made a mockery of Memorial Day and I couldn't write a straight news story. Here's my take:

Fun fact: professors / lab heads basically never have a full year salary commitment from their institution. 75% is the norm, often it’s as little as 30%. To get a full salary you get paid for work you do on funded projects, which are contracts that have formal effort reporting.

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future
