Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

I'm a scientist because 52 years ago the National Science Foundation supported me, as a high school student, to do real research at a university summer science program.
The destruction of US science by Trump and the Republicans today will weaken the country for decades.

We did the same

If you want to know how NSF has supported Science in your state see tableau.external.nsf.gov/views/NSFbyN... (and write your congresspeople).
