It's really quite dire. And it's happening at every level -- no federal funding, no nonprofit funding, no state funding. Plus harassment at every level, federal and state. People who do good work are being put in positions where it is nearly impossible for them to continue.

Pulte is the most shameless, but the overall picture is bad. We now have Inspector Generals who are party members, or previously worked for the people they are supposed to be investigating. Career IG officials know they will be fired for doing their job. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...
After he fired the Veteran’s Administration Inspector General, Trump replaced him with another of his appointees, Cheryl Mason, who was a senior adviser to the Secretary of VA she was not tasked with overseeing. The new IG soon stopped issuing alerts about problems in VA after her former boss complained they were distracting, and no longer allows staff to brief Congressional committees on forthcoming reports, weakening the ability of Congress to exert oversight. A staffer in her office said: “If you believe in independent oversight, that’s not what we were doing…It’s got all the agents worried about doing anything that puts us on anyone’s radar.” Staff who raise concerns with Mason say they are likely to be labeled “a resister, and they are totally blackballed.”

“The amplified stories shared in the papers, as well as the Atlanta News, continued to stoke white fears of Black people. It would all come to a head during a period of 4 days in September 1906, leading mobs of thousands of white men to terrorize Black citizens, effectively shutting the city down.”

Below there is a congressional calendar from July to December. 

July 1-2 are labeled Rules retreat.
September 17 is labeled Hegseth Holiday.
September 22 to October 2 are labeled Epstein Recess.

5. STAY ON MESSAGE. The message is simple: Trump and his cronies want to destroy the publicly funded scientific ecosystem so they can take the spoils for themselves and their Tech Bros. It’s that simple. None of them are good. You don’t need a nuanced take. You can just say NO!

Trump's panicking about the widespread revulsion against his Arch, and is trying to cloak it in national security to jam it through or go around the normal approval process. It's even more important to stop it now, as a test case of not letting him use "national security" to justify illegal acts.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."
