Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

So Michelle Obama skips an inauguration, and it’s a scandal. Meanwhile, the guy who skipped Biden’s plotted a coup? The hypocrisy is truly doing gymnastics here.

Someone tell that sanctimonious pixie Speaker Mike Johnson that if he places conditions on California's ability to rebuild, his state, Louisiana, the Welfare Queen of Federalism, won't be able to fix any of its roads because that money comes from the far more successful economy of California.

BREAKING: Nancy Mace is in intensive care after a cashier at Target wished her a “Happy Holidays” instead of a “Merry Christmas.” Thoughts and prayers for a possible, eventual recovery.

I really hope there is a special place for people who pick uncomfortable chairs knowing people to sit in discomfort for hours a day. Just remember, always go with the comfortable chairs… or I’m going to wish the worst on you.

If you clap when a plane lands, I don’t want to be associated with you.
