EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now? PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.

these are truly awful people. i wish them the worst. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

She said she asked to bring her American-born son with her when she was deported to Honduras. Instead, the two were split up, and he was put in someone else's custody and beaten to death. Heartbreaking dispatch from the 3-year-old's funeral www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Exactly. They could have ended Trump's role in public life in 2021. They didn't. So he ended theirs.

it is crazy that the president is essentially just the project manager for a medium-sized hotel ballroom who tweets things which would yet someone with that actual job fired instantaneously

/2 Second: federal judges don’t talk like this unless it’s REALLY bad, and it is.

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear. n.pr/4dwU7Fi

Darwin’s Chariot rides again

Just over twenty eight years ago, on #EarthDay, Apr 22 1998, the #HockeyStick reconstruction of temperatures was born (www.nature.com/articles/33859). Here's an interview I did on CBS EveningNews with John Roberts (anchor Dan Rather): www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aVU... 🧵

this interview is a *complete* disaster if I’m a Republican watching this I’m actually pissing myself out of fear

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

One of the best things I've seen in a while.

As Kevin Gonzalez lay in a hospital bed, his gaunt frame ravaged by cancer, his aspirations narrowed to a final wish: seeing his parents before he died. Fulfilling that dream meant a desperate fight against time as his father and mother sat in immigration detention. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Well they won a football national championship. Surely, that’s enough to keep the university afloat. 🙃

The author sent me a copy, and it's really something to behold in person.

I’m coming to the uncomfortable conclusion that we have reached the end of the road on the viability of the 21st-Century Balance of Powers (executive branch makes policy; judicial branch has a veto; legislative branch keeps the other two running via executive funding and judicial appointments).

We are watching the worst assault on multiracial democracy since the Pettus bridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

This means that hundreds, if not thousands of labs all over the country will close. Tens of thousands of jobs will be lost. This is in defiance of Congress's will and in defiance of good stewardship of the US economy. This is entirely because Russ Vought hates science

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

Those of us who litigate against the Government on a regular basis cannot help but notice not only the exhaustion of the lawyers who remain but also the drop in the quality of their work.

It is very hard to comprehend but Orban’s government spent over €1 billion euro annually (over 1% of Hungary’s annual budget) on foreign political interference operations like CPAC.

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

Well done sir, they're calling it your best interview yet

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Breaking news: Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation’s nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were terminated from their positions Friday by President Trump.

If white people in Mississippi voted Republican at the same rate as white people in Louisiana (about 73% vs. 81%), it would be a tied tossup state. At the same level as Georgia or South Carolina, it would be a safe blue state.

the sacred texts

“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan.”
