A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

Cuts to the NIH are a strategy to strangle research universities not “reduce waste”

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

In October, I reported on Project 2025’s plan to gut NOAA, the National Weather Service, & climate research

Today The Guardian is reporting “DOGE staffers enter NOAA headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats”

As the parent of a disabled kid it is zero fucking surprise. Folks hate disabled people and will actively work towards making their lives more difficult. The lack of empathy that even disabled kids experience is shocking and will change the way you think about people and what they're capable of

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who received pardons from President Trump had past criminal convictions for charges including rape, manslaughter, domestic violence and drug trafficking.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s so wild watching the least qualified person ever to lead the Pentagon talking about being “merit-based” with a straight face.

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

Americans don’t understand civic responsibility. We don’t get to have a perfect candidate woo you personally. You assess what options you have and make the best choice you can. Not voting is tacit approval of whoever wins.

Your hands are not clean. You abdicated your duty

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

I built my entire future on the hope of securing NIH funding. Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH

"There is a kinship, nowadays, between the climate scientists and the epidemiologists and the scholars of authoritarianism."

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Folks who love/teach/care for SPED kids in NC, do you know how the funding works? It’s important to know so you can be a good advocate.

NC currently funds individual children at about $5300 per year. A portion of that amount is provided by the Federal Government, the rest from NC DPI budget 👇🏼

Imagine the outrage if this headline was

“Massachusetts Education Board to Vote on Koran-Infused Lessons in Public Schools”

There’s a reason we need separation of church and state.

If you want religious education for YOUR kids, go for it. Don’t force-feed it to mine.
