Public investments in science and education have proven to pay for themselves many times over. However, we now have a presidential regime that is based on lies and run by crackpots. It considers investigative activities that lead to the discovery of truth a threat. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

It's the tiniest pet peeve but I wish news outlets had better art than "front of the building with logo" for all these stories about federal agencies. Also: I think NSF moved out of this building earlier this year? ALSO: THESE MFERS FIRED THE WHOLE OVERSIGHT BOARD www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

Is ignorance a virtue in Trump's world? Is his goal to remake the U.S. as a Third World nation? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

To me, THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT than some loony shooting at the president! Feck Way More important is SCIENCE, which is the Greek word for KNOWLEDGE! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

Also a tremendous amount of self-censorship among academic scientists in order to get grants from the NSF. Imagine applying for funding for medical research without being able to use words like "women," "female," "gender," "underserved".... And this happened Friday: (gift article)
