A nugget buried in the big & impressive NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-government email.
Worth a read. Many have taken note of the growing solidarity in the science community in opposition to the OMB proposed rule. But this must be just the start.
For an example, we can look to @sekahn.bsky.social, Justin Ryder & co who spoke up at ADA and were removed for it.

The strong collective response of the science community to the proposed OMB rule has demonstrated the broad unity that’s possible when we all work together. We'd do well to apply this same level of activation to the larger assaults on science and democracy. My new post: blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...

A special shout to the "Team Kean" selfie guy trying to hold things down in a really awkward situation.
The scientific community is fighting a proposed change to research funding. Let's keep this momentum going to take on more attacks on science.
Here’s a trend I’d love to hear the White House explain:
Average monthly job growth in the runup to Trump’s tariffs: 72,000

Average monthly job growth in the aftermath of Trump’s tariffs: 188,000

As outlandish as this might seem, Trump has now extended clemency to almost all of the Republican congressmen convicted of felonies in the 21st century.
The latest pardon was issued late Friday night, when the White House hoped it’d go unnoticed.
