if gavin newsom wins the nomination, that's between democratic voters and god, but on paper he really has nothing you'd abstractly want from a candidate (overperformance vs partisan baseline, winning swing or red states, juice with specific demographics)

ICYMI: Trump has released his 2026 budget that include cuts for:
NSF: -56%
NIH: -40%
EPA: -55%
CDC: -33%
NASA: -24%
Make no mistake - this is not just trimming the budget. These cuts are a direct attack on U.S. research, innovation, and public health.
The FY2026 President's Budget Request includes:
47% cuts to NASA Science.
56% cuts to NSF.
28% cuts to NIST.
14% cuts to the DOE Office of Science.
These requests have serious implications for the U.S. scientific enterprise.

Democrats forfeiting their role as the party that wants to improve public education is an underexamined political and policy failure nymag.com/intelligencer/…
It's very cool that our JWST image of IC348 is under consideration for a stamp, but it's also funny/ironic since that the pretty extended emission is a bad thing from my point point of view, making it more difficult to detect faint brown dwarfs about.usps.com/newsroom/natio…
I took a stab at making the best, most practical pitch to the Reagan Republican who is still wavering on what to do in this election. Share it with the person in your life who fits the bill.

“The most damning critiques of Donald Trump and the most dire warnings about what it would mean if he came back into the White House came from people who served him closest in his administration in the most sensitive and important positions.” — @jonkarl
