Zero new archaeology grants this year. 🏺🧪🫠

Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social

Finally, this has gone a bit under the radar, so I want to highlight it: The social, behavioral and economic sciences directorate (SBE) has simply ceased to deliver grants to many of its subareas. Any topic not specifically OK'd by the Trump administration is receiving zero new awards.

man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

There is no place for violence in politics. But so many are already using this to rush out and declare war on the left, while completely ignoring the other recent tragedies. And none of them care that three students were shot at a school in Colorado today.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Ice recruitment ads popping up on electric recharging stations in MA. I think Noem thinks her entire job is marketing and photo shoots. I don't think it will be long until someone "decorates" this a bit and the outlet selling the ad space may have second thoughts about placing them.

Trump’s interview shows just how easy it is for him to get completely played. Putin conceded nothing about Ukraine but repeats Trump conspiracy theories and he calls the meeting a 10 of 10.

Absolutely trying to rewrite history to his own perverted narrative. Common theme in this administration that results in the erasure of women, LGBT, and minorities.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump White House plans to conduct a far-reaching review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of America's 250th anniversary to ensure the museums align with "Trump's interpretation of American history." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Very important distinction. Terminating these grants terminates research in healthcare, medicine, and a myriad of other fields that benefits everyone. This isn't some way of enriching these institutions, they were just the best equipped to take on the work.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Would be curious if anyone can dig up how much stock the oligarchs snapped up the last few days before this "pause". I'm sure a bunch of them are going to be raking in the gains as the market bounces back until the next whiplash

Perfect example of how trade imbalances can exist and why the aren't as important as the clown show wants you to believe. No way we are bringing back manufacturing of lots of items other nations can make more cheaply and better.

Clown show

THIS! The only reason to use this is to evade the legal recordkeeping requirements. I'm sure Trump is drafting up Pardons for all these clowns already.

Just how many Signal conversations are being had with messages that illegally disappear that FOIA requests can never be filed to obtain because of digital shredding. It's all just so massively illegal. Yes of course there's a problem with the endpoints not being secure, but $%&^!, they're shredding.

There is only so much back pedaling you can do before you walk off the cliff. Wouldn't you be scrambling to check the chat you were on as soon as this blew up? Nothing but trying to bury this and blame others instead of owning up to it.

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

You are up to date.
