Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.
Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.
Legacy media failed the country.

Finally! It took the grand opening of the Joe Pye Weed flowers to bring in the monarchs 🦋! Milkweed has been blooming all over the yard but they never show up until these guys are open. A happy sight indeed 🌱

I caught this cool little green crab spider patiently waiting on one of my buttonbush flowers. Buttonbushes are in full bloom now and have become some of my favorite plants in the garden: so cool and so attractive to a variety of pollinators! 🌱

A 23-Year-Old Crypto Bro Is Now Vetoing NSF Grants While Staring At His Water Bottle

Picture this: You're a researcher who has spent years developing a grant proposal, gone through layers of expert review, and received National Science Foundation (NSF) approval. Then some kid barely out of college — whose main qualification appears to be founding a company that puts ads on the blockchain — logs into a Zoom meeting, pays more attention to his fingernails than the discussion, and kills your grant with a disinterested thumbs down.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.
Harvard was able to file a 72 page complaint less than 24 hours after Trump attacked foreign students. Guess they were expecting it

Jacob’s ladder is blooming now and it’s so funny to see these heavy carpenter bees landing on the delicate flower stalks. This is a really nice plant for shady spots: it spreads naturally and deer/rabbits leave it alone. 🌱

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.
