There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

Trump speculated today that he could pardon Diddy. I'm so tired of typing some version of "imagine for a moment the hellstorm of criticism on Fox if a Democrat contemplated this" But yeah, just imagine. It would be relentless, epic, traumatizing. It might end a career. Sigh.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

One thing we may not be accurately assessing is the danger of the dollar losing its place as the international fiat currency. Trump is putting that status at risk in several ways. First, and most directly, these tariffs will hurt our economy, and eventually, our currency.

The tariffs are the largest tax increase since 1982. Just imagine if President Harris had announced a giant tax increase in her first 3 months, and the stock market took the biggest three day dive in decades. The Republicans would storm the White House. taxfoundation.org/research/all...

Trump’s tariffs are the largest tax hike since 1982. The tariffs are larger than the tax increases enacted under Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.

Even if these deportees were violent criminals—but there’s been no due process, so who knows—the schadenfreude celebration of their deportation is childish, racist, and makes clear that the policy is not about security, it’s to stoke in-group enthusiasm for racial status hierarchy. It’s gross.
