Love the fight. I think the plan to restore funding is very viable. Even the GOP sees the huge public disapproval regarding these budget cuts.

Simon, I’m going to take this completely off topic. Your readers need to realize the scammers are all over substack/bluesky asking for money for Gaza, etc. Please don’t fall for the pig butchering scams. (See the documentary series Trafficked, by Mariana van Zeller. She’ll also give you some insight into the typical trumplican if you watch some of the episodes.)

Simon, I'm completely with you on the plan to oust Vought and Kennedy (as we did with Musk). Both are a dangerous threat to our country, and we need to use every fiber of our being to get them out of government. I'll be more than glad to do my part.

Thanks for all you do!

The link in the first paragraph for Stand up for Science goes to Jeremy's Bluesky -- not to Stand up for Science... https://www.standupforscience.net/

Just this morning I met with a friend to plan a Stand up for Science event in Plymouth, MA to highlight how scientific research helps people even if they are not aware of the effects. Our topics will be research into the decline of Pollinators, insect biocontrol, medical research, and weather forcasting. I'm also partnering with a local non profit that has a farm education program in for towns. I also got certified to work with 4H groups. I'm glad, Simon, that you are highlighting the assault on science. What a disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
