This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that

Writing from experience. We’re being forced to feel what I’m calling “mass learned helplessness”.
We are watching our institutions that have been protecting us get ripped apart every day on MSM. Our leaders appear to be helpless.
Helplessness is how we will be made to conform to the new America.

Now this, I can co-sign.
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning.
Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol.
We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions.
The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans.
We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
