It’s like saying you’re going to save money on a football team by cutting all the linemen.
NIH@NIH
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

@jonfavs @mehdirhasan These simply arent mutually exclusive. People can be feeling the squeeze because of decades of neoliberal economics (as well as lifestyle choices, i suspect), then be convinced to assign that blame to an administration that was actually moving things in the correct direction.

Partisan Trump fans will say this, sure. That does not even come close to explaining the depth of people's frustrations with inflation.
75% of voters said inflation has caused them severe or moderate hardship in the last year. Most are not Trump fans. Most do not consume right-wing media.

We're still doing this, huh?
"Oh, you say you're struggling financially? Well, maybe stop consuming right-wing media and take a look at this here CPI reading!!"

"It wasn’t the economy," @mtomasky says. "It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer" — the right-wing media. newrepublic.com/post/188197/tr…

@TheMildWorld @beatmastermatt is it "manipulated" or "inaccurate" ? You havent provided better sources, or said what the magnitude of the effects would be on the data thats out there based on your issues with how its collected. There is no perfect data source, but theres a good chance these are "less wrong"
English
I didn't say "Fake News"
Just manipulated data.
The FBI crime stats the MSM cites is missing a lot of data.
Inflation is gauged through the CPI. Ever take a look at how CPI is calculated and what's excluded?
And we don't talk enough about CPBOne App processing through airports.
It's not "Fake" news, it's just news that the Mainstream media doesn't talk about because it doesn't "fit the narrative"

Feelings over facts

@firebornnn We live in two realities, and more Americans chose to believe in the less credible reality. Future historians might call this the Misinformation Age, a time when people can easily cherry pick evidence to back up their beliefs and values and straw man their opponents.

Yeah, so cool that the underdog kid who was born a millionaire and his sponsor, the richest human being alive aren't damn "elites".

@chaser @AJemaineClement The elites got a pasting.

All I can think about is how throughout all of human history no messages have been more effective at amassing power than "the other side looks down on you" and "outsiders are ruining your way of life." No rational arguments seem to penetrate them

I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia.
This crap isn’t viable.
It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

Wow, this kind of blanket denigration of Democrats is definitely going to spark a huge media frenzy

But it’s time Dems tone down the rhetoric, amirite?
Kate Sullivan@KateSullivanDC
Speakers at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden have so far called Harris “the antichrist” and “the devil,” called Hillary Clinton “a sick son of a bitch,” railed against “fucking illegals,” and referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play.
Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris.
Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

There's a pretty striking pattern here. If you can guess who wins the election, you can probably also guess what comes next.

It's an astonishing feat of mathematics to raise taxes on 95% of Americans all in the name of cutting taxes on average.
Justin Wolfers@JustinWolfers
The magic of the Trump tax agenda is that he cuts taxes -- and so total revenue likely declines -- but he does so in a way that still ensures 95% of Americans will actually pay HIGHER taxes.

It’s one thing for some leftist group to call you a fascist. Quite another when it’s a fellow Republican. And absolutely astonishing when it’s your own chief of staff.

John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected. Read more: nyti.ms/4hh7kD5

The Justice Department sent a letter to the super PAC founded by Elon Musk warning that awarding $1 million to registered voters who signed a petition might violate federal laws against paying voters, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
