If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

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.

"The authors said there may be an under-reporting of long COVID in younger children due to difficulty with the verbalization of their symptoms."

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Unsurprisingly, RFK Jr is lying about Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren being top recipients of pharmaceutical industry donations. He is intentionally misleading by counting private donations from individual rank-and-file employees the same as official company PAC spending.

So when exactly do the ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ part kick in?

"Nobody voted for Elon Musk. And nobody wants airplanes to fall out of the sky. But after Musk pushed out the head of the FAA and Donald Trump gutted the agency’s safety board, and Musk attempted to push air traffic controllers to quit, the worst domestic airline disaster since 2001 occurred."

When I think of Elon Musk hacking into hundreds of millions of tax files and Social Security records I am reminded of the case of Aaron Swartz. He face five years in prison because he hacked into M.I.T's computer system.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.
