For folks who don't know, @samwang.bsky.social runs the Princeton Election Consortium, which calculates various things about US presidential elections. I've followed his writings for more than a decade now. We could really use a thoughtful person who values data in congress. Please support Sam!

Yes!

Pete Buttigieg in the Wilderness He has a beard, a splitting maul, and a house in Michigan. Is that enough to convince America that he’s a man of the people?

From Pete Buttigieg, who sums Trump up perfectly. “It’s a cornered-animal problem,” he said. “He’s getting weaker and getting more dangerous at the same time. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is very disturbing. It certainly feels like the rumors that the Trump Administration is trying to destroy the NIH from within—partly by having all funding decisions made by Trump appointees—are true. This is a 5-alarm fire for biomedical science in this country.

I’ve never met anyone that would be better for this job. We need more scientists in congress!

The Trump Administration is gutting America’s science engine, wiping out thousands of grants in cancer, aging, engineering and more. Our district’s world-class researchers feel these cuts every single day.

We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Oct 18!

If we prosecute no one else—and to be clear we should prosecute so many people—we have absolutely got to go after this guy as hard as humanly possible

Why aren’t more people saying this? It’s murder.

We don’t need to shop there!

Trump shared a riveting story about his uncle teaching Ted Kaczynski, which never happened

NOW: The judiciary committee is set to vote on whether to send Emil Bove's nomination to the full Senate.

Bove pressured me to sign a motion to dismiss NYC Mayor Adams' bribery case. I chose to resign.

I urge them to show the courage and character that Bova lacks. Vote NO.

100% — forcing translation before the fundamentals are worked out is putting the cart ahead of the horse and throwing money down the drain.

The BEST!! Yes, FOTUS is a Jag-off!

That’s my alma mater! Reverse brain drain is happening as US loses its reputation as leader in science.

The Trump NIH animal research move is not about organoids, or animals. It's about politics. Be on the lookout for political wedge issues coming from the Trump administration. It's what they do.
