The Battle over the Constitution Has Spread to American Science. I'm out in the @theatlantic.com today about the new OMB proposed rule. It's just the longtime agenda of the the Supreme Court. US science and cancer cures now all depend on us picking up a fight with the Roberts Court.

As my favourite fictional master of discernment puts it... “Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.” - Sherlock Holmes via Sir Arthur Conan Doyle At least I know that 𝘐 have talent... and that they don't!

a fight about the meaning of the US Constitution. We're in a separation of powers battle. Science, innovation, and medical reasearch will be collateral damage. Scientists, the public, all academics, and everyone who cancer or dementia has touched will need to work together now.

as @joshchafetz.bsky.social put it it here, "the underlying unitary executive logic has moved to [grantmaking]." Thus it now threatens the whole relationship between the federal government and society, because the US government uses funding for all sorts of purposes.

The Supreme Court betrayed us three years ago when they put their treasonous pedophile candidate above the law with immunity to destroy American democracy Every ruling affirms their commitment to the dictatorship and their goal to end American democracy Americans are either too stupid or cowardly
