California Bill Would Create A $23 Billion Fund For University Research

Bhattacharya, Letai & other politicals at NIH keep trying to to say all at NIH is fine, because they spent the full budget last year. This well researched article from @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social explains exactly why many scientists are still struggling. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump has revealed a deep malady within the country, our columnist Lydia Polgreen writes: “America’s unshakable faith in its ability to shape the world to its liking, indifferent to what others might want and supremely confident that its plan is the right one.”

🤯

Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country: "The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023." Facts matter.

Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign. (1) $48.7 billion for NIH (2) Full IDC recovery (3) No more multi-year funding (4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.

😞

And there you have it. The bully strategy - said out loud. Anti-Trump. Not Anti-American.

Today is the tipping point. youtube.com/shorts/LDETj...

Abolish ICE. Shame on all those in congress who didn’t block their funding 🤬

Canada thrives because We. Are. Canadian 🇨🇦

OMG. Do I actually agree with Rand Paul on something? 🤯🤯

Are you a postdoc or assistant professor on the job market? Reminder that our department is hiring! We are a scientifically diverse department looking for a colleague that is excited about science, teaching, and potential collaborations! Please apply by 12/5/25!

So it's ok for Texas but not for California to redistrict? WTF www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

Tesla only still exists because of government subsidies paid by American tax payers. He shouldn’t be allowed to be that rich 🤷‍♀️

Are private jets being affected by this? Cause we could just cancel all those instead 🤷‍♀️

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Doug Ford on 10/14/25: Let's take Ronald Reagan's words and let's blast it to the American people. And our first launch is going to be on every major network...we're going to launch a $75 million ad, and we're going to repeat that message to every Republican district right across the entire country.

Our dept is hiring! 🤩

while this is good news, the fact that a significantly lower number of awards were funded will cause significant long term damage to the research enterprise in this country. 😞

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

After reading through the descriptions of the autism-related research projects that were cut, I was struck by how complicated the science is — especially when compared to the simple (and debunked) theory that vaccines cause autism. www.propublica.org/article/rfk-...

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

Researchers’ chances of winning a grant from the National Institutes of Health have dropped under a new policy. scim.ag/4f7uew2

New, from an anonymous NIH insider: Trump is being pushed to spend more NIH money. The White House is ordering NIH to do multi-year budgets for awards. This budget trick means fewer awards, fewer labs funded, and lower paylines for researchers. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/alert-the-...

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Powerful story from Kate Zernike from the NYT Covers the diversity of young scientists targeted by the anti-DEI BS. Definitely worth a read and a share. [Gift link] www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

An examination of the consequences of abortion restrictions. A study to test a protocol to prevent HIV transmission. An investigation into why LGBTQ+ adults are dying by suicide. This is the scientific research being lost as Trump cuts NIH funding.

People gathered for pro-democracy protests across the country.

Despite Texas' tough talk on immigration, its lawmakers have refused to mandate that private businesses check employment authorization. Why? Because they know “if you got serious about applying [E-Verify], you would create even worse problems” with labor shortages, a former GOP state lawmaker said.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

"Donald Trump is destroying programs that have been in place for 100 years. He did it in 100 days. And I think we'd better learn from that." @governorwalz.mn.gov emphasizes the need for Democrats to press their agenda more forcefully and on a shorter timeline.

FAFO 🙌🎉 This shouldn’t be taken lightly; he’s been in parliament for 2 decades.

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

Voting day in Canada 🇨🇦 🗳️ Please be sure to make your voice count! 🙌 Lots at stake here.

I’ve faced down economic challenges before. I’m ready to do it again. #CanadaStrong

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how. (Published Dec. 2024)

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.
