Nah. We didn’t storm the Capitol. Neither did Liz or Dick Cheney. Your side did that.

You also voted for a war criminal, twice! After he sent an entire generation of kids to die or come home mentally destroyed from a 20 year war.

Forgive me if I have issue with your judgement. I think being too “conservative” for the Cheney’s says more about you than me.

I actually find Al’s deflection about the issues with DOGE pretty illuminating.

Because of who’s doing it, Al has to believe that it’s actually not a problem, even if his own information is compromised. And inasmuch as it could be a problem for others, it’s not the fault of the people he supports- the people who hired and empowered these creepy little goons. Oh no, the blame actually belongs to those who oppose them! Because they were unable to stop them.

Absolute baby brained toddler ****.

National Institutes of Health radically cuts support to universities

Sudden and drastic change will make it hard for researchers to keep the lights on.
arstechnica.com arstechnica.com

Grants paid by the federal government have two components. One covers the direct costs of performing the research, paying for salaries, equipment, and consumables like chemicals or enzymes. But the government also pays what are called indirect costs. These go to the universities and research institutes, covering the costs of providing and maintaining the lab space, heat and electricity, administrative and HR functions, and more.

These indirect costs are negotiated with each research institution and average close to 30 percent of the amount awarded for the research. Some institutions see indirect rates as high as half the value of the grant.

On Friday, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that negotiated rates were ending. Every existing grant, and all those funded in the future, will see the indirect cost rate set to just 15 percent. With no warning and no time to adjust to the change in policy, this will prove catastrophic for the budget of nearly every biomedical research institution.

Science Agencies Brace for Mass Layoffs

Reports suggest NSF, NOAA, and NIH are among the agencies in line for major cuts.

The audit is not a problem. It is a job that needs to be done and so far the auditors doing the auditing are finding a lot of shady stuff, which is exactly what they should be doing. I couldn't care less if one of the auditors referred to himself as Big Balls online so long as he's doing what needs to be done.

I can see that you don't like who is doing the audit, but you don't get a say. The head of the executive branch gets to decide who audits the executive branch. I approve of his choice of auditors.

The only thing I’ve seen from musk about this is bitching about them being “doxxed” and calling for the racist one, who resigned after his racist posts were exposed, be reinstated.

He's being rehired, as he should be. No scalp for you. You don't get a say.

Man I ****ing love living in Australia. One of our former right wing Prime Ministers Tiny Abbott had Border Force (Formerly Customs and the Immigration Department now rolled into Border Force and Home Affairs) patrolling outside Melbourne's central train station harassing brown people for documentation. Within a couple of hours thousands of people turned up in the centre of the city to protest, the state government removed protection for the operation and it never happened again. Love this city
