Auto transcription (I was curious, sharing for access. Agree this is fantastic.)

$Screenshot of a transcript. It says: “Exactly right, but I want to say a couple things. One thing about cities that I found in this reporting: cities are very unfairly labeled as these problem centers by Donald Trump and others. And one thing is worth remembering: if you look at the population of well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities, look at youth homeless. A pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country. Okay, in the fraction of youth homeless who are LGBTQ, whatever, pretty high. So there are a lot of families in this country who fail the first duty of family, which is to love your kids more than any other thing, and there's a lot of families in this country that look at some verse in some book, and their child's face, and choose the$

Second screenshot says: “verse in the book over their child's face, and drive their children out of Nebraska or out of Florida or out of Idaho, and those kids come to San Francisco, and those kids come to New York, and those kids go to Chicago, and we have friends giving dinners with them. You live in L.A. You are surrounded by people who have those kind of stories, and so cities. Every time someone is sleeping on a subway bench in a city, the rest of America can sort of say, "Ah, look at these cities.” But we are holding a lot of your people who you fail to love and take care of.

This is just a terrible take. Large chunks of the US government have been destroyed and rebuilding is the first order priority to ensure people get the services they need. The second to make sure it never happens again. Efficiency? Nope. We need a Marshall Plan for the US.

This should be an entire impeachment trial on its own. The destruction of NSF through impoundment, office shuffles, etc. is obliterating 70 years of bipartisan efforts that turned us into a global scientific superpower and thus a technological and economic superpower.

Since someone asked—the way to fix this is by big structural reforms. Proportional representation in Congress, add seats, add states, quadruple Congressional investigatory and policy staff, reform/disempower the Article III branch, rewrite admin law etc. All of it requires re-empowering Congress.

🧪 "Mr. Trump’s science adviser, Michael Kratsios, has criticized the agency’s system for deciding which grants to fund ... He also argued the N.S.F. should ... bypass external review panels.” Kratsios lost 90% of assets while CFO of Clarium Capital. Do you trust him with the US science portfolio?

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

This is not my field, but I agree that the desire to fix polarization rather than the actual problems and to treat all disagreements with "both sides" statements rather than facts is allowing the destruction of American science, in addition to democracy. Read the paper!
