Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Politicians are by and large not movement leaders - they are the ones who see where the movements, and votes, are going. That's a feature and not a bug - so be the movement they will need to follow, and be accountable to.

"We don't get in the business of litigating what's right or wrong, we get in the business of executing what we're instructed to do." The Nuremberg defense coming directly from the COO of Fermilab.

Musk has received $13B in government contracts over the last 5 yrs. With all his fuss about the $9B/yr in overhead to the more than 2,500 universities conducting lifesaving research, I am curious when he is going to turn DOGE on his own contracts and ‘efficiencies’. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Slightly annoying how many of the comments are like, "This is written so broadly it's going to even affect ME over here in chemistry" or whatever. We need to (always) stand together as scientists whether you're the target or the collateral damage.

Academics rn waiting on an NSF webpage to dole out their fate instead of organizing in any coherent fashion.

When times feel a bit grim, I like to think about the 14th Century, which featured The Great Famine (1315-1317), The Black Death (1347-1351), The Great Schism (1378) and The Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). That always cheers me up
