What are the chances that Trump understands what an "own goal" is? Except for the competence of the intended audience, this is pretty good science communication.

Just in case you were wondering, Trump, these antics make it look like we have a 🤡 running the federal government.

More than half of CDC staffers recently fired by Trump administration have been reinstated | CNN share.google/MiGcy0EUKh9A...

This looks like protest video footage you will never see on Faux News

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Citing an imagined left-wing conspiracy, the president is threatening any person or group holding any one of a broad array of disfavored views with investigation and prosecution. bit.ly/4330Su2

Since the 19th Century, mission driven scientists have sought careers in the public sector, with the EIS being a perfect example. We are not even going to know what hit us when talented and committed people decide not to do that anymore.

GOP efficiency at its finest

Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

They definitely do not give the impression that they are good at this.

Excellent point. It's kind of astonishing that no one in the White House seems to think that running the executive branch effectively could improve his #s. His approval got a boost in the first few weeks of Covid when he was working with instead of against the CDC. It looked presidential.

The CDC gets a lot of attention in Project 2025. They literally spelled out their goals for the agency.

It's not even the first time that, in their zeal to get rid of people, they've had to immediatey hire people back. They are so steeped in their own anti government propaganda that they only see the need for experts in super obvious cases like the nuclear stockpile or hemorrhagic fever.

God bless The Onion for giving us an occasional laugh during this phucking nightmare

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

How many times, Mr. President, in your view can a place "burn down." Did you see any periods of rebuilding between these alleged burning downs? Because it's just possible that you're, ya know, lying.

Commentary about the federal government, even from people defending the federal government tends to start out with the line, "We know the federal government has a lot of problems." But no one ever gets specific about what those problems are. Let's get specific and add some evidence.

MIT's response is getting a lot of attention. But I'd like to lodge a complaint with their assertion that there are issues with academia. What issues specifically? Why do they accept this conservative talking point as if it is a fact? The same thing happens with articles about the federal government

Not broken. Interested in ideas supported by evidence. Believing that climate change is real only appears "progressive" once the GOP, as a party, chose climate denial. Fleeing the world of evidence and then claiming universities are biased is pretty bold. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

Are they putting people on suspected terrorists watch lists? I'm guessing that could lead an airline to cancel the reservation of a ticketed passenger.

I would not have expected her to connect a policy action to its actual outcome.

This report says students don't prepare for class and don't come prepared to engage. But the journalist's takeaway is that liberal bias stifles free speech? These are not the same thing. Universities tend to reward being informed.

Let's play out the criminal elements part. Are you talking about corporations upcoding to get more $ out of Medicare/Medicaid or flat out fraudulent claims from providers? Because tax payers could save some $$ if the GOP went after that instead of trying to deny healthcare to people without ESI.
