Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.

Correct, you can’t just “pause” science. Particularly time sensitive experiments. Like in medical research. Where you lose your mice or something. And then have to start literally from the beginning. It’s bad for science for years, if not decades, and it’s dangerous for people.
I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare?
Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

It’s already a win for Hegseth that the conversation is around if he should resign and not if he should be jailed.

There's no hierarchy in Jesus' words. None. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself.
Also, there's the earliest Christians, like Paul: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."
NO HIERARCHY.

About 40 top leaders joined the effort to prepare for avian flu and other emergencies. Kennedy instead lobbied senators on his controversial nomination.

I’m still not over the fact that Tim Walz went viral for calling Republicans ‘weird,’ put Trump and Vance on the defensive, then got picked as Harris’s running mate because of it, and then… he was immediately silenced, disappeared, and Dems stopped calling the GOP ‘weird.’
