Terrific article about the govt's new "science policy" that shreds university basic research in favor of a tech bro approach to innovation. Little does the Trump admin realize that innovations from drugs to AI depend on basic research that the for-profit sector does not produce.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Trump dodges the draft, hires foreign workers for his resorts and country clubs because he doesn’t want to pay Americans a decent wage, and buys materials for his various DC construction projects overseas. He is neither a patriot nor America First. He is just a greedy bastard.

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.
