Science agencies rely on these outside experts to ensure that decisions are based on evidence, not politics, researchers say.
Without them, they warn the US is losing a key check on government transparency.

The Trump administration has downsized US science by historic margins — but it's not just via grant or workforce cuts.
Our new @nature analysis reveals the government has cut more than 100 scientific advisory panels across all major science agencies.

@maxdkozlov @jonathanstea @Nature Ceding more ground to China by the day. This admin is destroying this country bit by bit

@PAH78573620 @foster_type @bethanyshondark No they didn’t….or they were idiots and believed what they wanted to believe. Single source intel from people who wanted Sadam removed from power. Powell retracted this later and backed Obama because of it. Proving my point with this nonsense.
English

@srbryson @foster_type @bethanyshondark If you mean Powell, no. They believed there were WMDs at the time. And everyone conveniently forgets they had reason to, as Iraq had used poison gas already on the Kurds. But go ahead and ignore the legit criticisms of Trump, I guess next up will be Hunter’s laptop.

National Review is comprised largely of people who believe in the same principles in 2026 as they did in 2015, which I know must be confusing for Kristol.

I gather some of our conservative friends are unhappy with the Bulwark. Fine. But I'm proud we have continued to stand athwart Trump, yelling Stop, at a time when so many who were at first inclined to do so quit doing so, and then became annoyed at those of us still standing.

@srbryson @foster_type @bethanyshondark Bush wasn’t in the Epstein files. Bush took the case to the UN. Bush didn’t shit on our allies, he organized a coalition of the willing. Bush didn’t campaign on No New Wars. The list goes on.
English

@srbryson @foster_type @bethanyshondark 98% of Trump isn’t ‘conservatism’- it’s narcissism & other sociopathies. Kristol never sold out- he just wouldn’t cut costs via fiascos like DOGE. Being anti-Trump isn’t derangement when so many of his (& his cabinet’s) actions have been a combo of indefensible/reprehensible.
English

@PAH78573620 @foster_type @bethanyshondark Didn’t criticize Bush for the lack of long term thinking in going into Iraq. If Bush did exactly what Trump did today he would praise him…like he did Bush in Iraq
English

@srbryson @foster_type @bethanyshondark This is disingenuous— Kristol has favored military actions- but his criticism of Trump is a lack of long-term thinking, ally support and Congressional buy-in.
Trump’s war ‘plan’ was “Bomb the shit out of them for 2 weeks and hope”. But you can’t gaslight the Strait of Hormuz.

@PAH78573620 @foster_type @bethanyshondark Kristol himself was a huge advocate of attacking Iran until Trump actually did it.
English

@srbryson @foster_type @bethanyshondark The first principle has more than enough evidence to be justified. Not sure what the “grift” is- the real grift is w/ all the Trumpers who’ve made millions by bending the knee to a populist sociopath instead of following in Cheney/Kinzinger’s footsteps.

@cenkuygur Good to know we can stop all the performative land acknowledgements here

@HappyPete55 @BillKristol He has literally done a 180 on every major principle he allegedly had
English


@BillKristol You have no principles anymore except you hate Trump. If he came out and gave an impassioned plea about the importance of breathing, you would claim he is urging oxygen poisoning.

@PeteThamel Forgot the season and just play a tournament. Diluting the product.

Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. espn.com/mens-college-b…

@AngelStudiosInc @3Ranlent Serkis admitted it’s an anti-capitalist screed. How could you?
English

@3Ranlent The Angel Guild gave the green light for Animal Farm. The Angel Guild has 2 million members who watch and vote on movies before they are released. This is the same guild that greenlit movies like David, The King of Kings, and the upcoming Young Washington.

Is there such a thing as a just war? The Catholic Church has come to doubt it. on.wsj.com/3P1wdcR

@Melanie34117351 @WSJ You mean all the wars God directed Moses, Joshua, Sampson, Saul, David, etc to wage?
English

@Timcast So all the “Flying Tigers” of pre WWII would have had their citizenship revoked. Or those who served in the British army prior to our entry….

@mlalex43 @bungarsargon Like the SPLC who paid a KKK Grand Wizard using offshore shell corporations?
English

@bungarsargon What expertise do you have in political violence? There are people who actually track, monitor, study, write very authoritative well documented, reports on this stuff. You simply partisan hacks really aren’t contributing anything useful.
English

Debunking the Data That Claims to Show Most Political Violence Comes From the Right: There's a lot of funky data out there being compiled by nakedly partisan organizations and spread as though it's factual by the liberal media. My column: batya-us.com/p/debunking-th…
