America in 2026 - where gambling "income" can be used to satisfy Medicaid work requirement. And of course since the loophole was probably written by the gambling industry, "income" doesn't include gambling losses.

When scientific fact consistently proves the Trump Administration wrong, they resort to calling it "partisan." Scientific journals are critical to our nation's scientific enterprise. The DOJ's letters attempting to intimidate and silence them damage our nation's ability to lead around the world.

Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.

It really is as simple of this. One mild addition: it's the Trump administration with consent from every Republican member of Congress...
what I mean: The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop.
They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

The number of students admitted to Ph.D. programs this fall dropped 15% from the previous year, according to data from over 50 top research universities. The decline is driven, in part, by a chaotic and unpredictable federal funding environment under the Trump administration.
