What. A. Day. NIH grant-making was paused for several hours today. Not sure who gave the order. But in light of the Friday night Bhattacharya-Vought feud & threatened EO to implement #ScienceDeathPanels, my money is on Russell Vought. I learned of the pause from a colleague around 11:30. 🧵

It cannot be overstated how bad Trump has been for the US economy. I know we are all fixated (rightly) on price increases. But this article is about changing global supply chains and markets. Effectively, the markets we rely on are excluding us. Long term disaster. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/w...

When there is a problem with our food, the first step is usually tracing the issue back to its cause. In most cases, this will be a particular farm or meatpacking plant. But this year’s many food problems can all be traced back to to *one* cause: A WHOLLY INCOMPETENT ADMINISTRATION.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

The most remarkable thing about Trump's statements was this: they reflect deep knowledge of North Korean propaganda and acceptance of all North Korean claims, but no knowledge even of the rudiments of the US security relationship with the Republic of Korea. Who, exactly, is briefing Trump?

Donald Trump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke. He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron. It's just that simple.
