Federal government tells Columbia to, among other things, put into receivership a Dept that studies the Middle East
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

1/ I want to tell you about Russ Vought, the man Trump just named to run an obscure yet hugely influential gov't office.

It's called the Office of Management and Budget.

Vought could turn OMB into the tip of the spear for Trump's most far-reaching and extreme policies.

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
