National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
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.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Trump said "I don't rule anything out" when asked about potentially invoking the Insurrection Act to place troops at polling locations (federal law makes it a crime to put armed troops at the polls). He's going to lose the midterms, he's a desperate man, and all he's got to offer is "we'll see."

If you put Republicans in charge of the presidency, they blame Congress for their failures. If they also control Congress, they blame the courts. If they control the courts, they blame their state. If they control their state, they blame a secret shadowy deep state, NGOs & media.

All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

There’s no way Andrew Bailey quit his position as AG of Missouri expecting to serve as a co-Deputy FBI Director under Kash Patel. He was either given assurances that Kash was going to be gone soon and he would get the gig, or he thought that on his own. Anyway, good riddance.

The Kansas GOP attacking Adam Hamilton as a "woke preacher" for a sermon that urged his congregation to live more responsibly as climate change threatens should make every mainliner proud. May every one of us be attacked for caring about the future of the planet and creation.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.
