Britt wouldn’t stop talking: “While the administration works to achieve this goal at NIH, a smart, targeted approach is needed in order to not hinder life-saving, groundbreaking research at high-achieving institutions like those in Alabama.”

What a traitor.

I have an idea about what we should do to traitors.

Another lover of French history?

Amour pour la mort! Gravity is an unlimited resource ;)

So many people have no idea how the larger picture works but think they do. I hope Im in the camp that recognizes their limited grasp of the bigger picture.

I think many assume there's more of a plan, or at least more structure, than there actually is. When you pick at it, or pull the single link keeping it all together, it tumbles down.

While the administration works to achieve this goal at NIH, a smart, targeted approach is needed in order to not hinder life-saving, groundbreaking research at high-achieving institutions like those in Alabama.

Fine, but if I hear one word of eliminating anything "woke", "DEI" or the latest conservative dogwhistle from your mouth, you had better explain what will be smart and targeted about that.

If it goes to a red state it's smart.

Yeah smart and targets are code words for: I get mine fuck the rest of you.

Found out, didn’t you? Fucking worthless traitor cunt.

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago

I mean it’s pretty obvious that she’s a Republican, but it’s weird how it’s not called out explicitly here.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

It's in the third sentence

And sure enough, Alabama’s junior senator Katie Britt (R)

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I swear that wasn’t there before, but maybe I overlooked it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
