The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Just a reminder: Venezuela's oil has NEVER belonged to the United States.
Trump's blockade against Venezuela is for "our oil." Experts say it isn't the US's to take.
The president referred to President Nicolás Maduro’s government as a “hostile regime."

I already believe in Santa more than in getting an NSF grant, and this tilts the scale toward Santa even more.
NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

Congrats, everyone.
"This is what we were voting for!"

From a friend in academia:

>>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<<

Great work.

Americans work more hours,
take less vacation,
work longer days,
& retire later.

But hey, at least we're not stuck with socialized health care.

The worst thing you can do right now is hide or go quiet.

Just learned about this crowdsourced resource from @noamross.net & @scott-delaney.bsky.social that catalogues #NSF grant terminations. "Please disseminate as wildly as possible among your networks to inform, organize, and advocate..." airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

🚨 Another major round of #NSF terminations today 😞. Please report and encourage your colleagues to as well! We need this info to shed light on the damage caused, and to organize and advocate for science that includes and benefits all. airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... 🧪
🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨

We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely!

Every Friday afternoon, just as I am submitting my last grant proposal for the week, this administration drops something awful.

The attack on research continues, reducing IDC to 15% for DOE. Of course, announced after hours on a Friday. Trump’s war on “woke” universities is unraveling decades of a successful partnership.
