So my initial #sentiment in regards of the tone is that the #political #language would most likely not go along with most of the #tech #people , and also the #passionate language which is easily #confused for #hostile might not with others. This is not my personal #critique of your #style , rather an #observation on how that kind of thing could #undervalue or sabotage the #ideas underneath, which of course should be the only thing that #matter .

"“Let’s be crystal clear, the president of the #UnitedStates is calling for the execution of elected officials,” Mr. Schumer said. “This is an outright #threat, and it’s deadly serious.”

Text from article:
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the top Democrat in the Senate, condemned the president’s threats from the floor of the senate Thursday morning and called on members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to do the same.

“Let’s be crystal clear, the president of the United States is calling for the execution of elected officials,” Mr. Schumer said. “This is an outright threat, and it’s deadly serious.”

He added: “Every time Donald Trump posts things like this, he makes political violence more likely. None of us should tolerate this kind of behavior.”

Mr. Trump’s posts about imprisonment and death by hanging were difficult to square with his recent calls to lower the temperature of political rhetoric in this country. After the conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk was murdered in September, Mr. Trump asked in an Oval Office address for “all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died — the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law and the patriotic devotion and love of God.”

Mr. Trump said then that it was “long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree.”

That spirit of free speech and the rule of law was hard to detect in president’s posts and messages he decided to repost Tuesday. He shared one that said, “Indict all of them.”

“Traitors,” said another.

“He is actively encouraging political #violence once again, ratcheting up the real risk of danger to our elected leaders and deepening the divides in our country,” Mr. Shapiro wrote. “The sycophants and enablers the President surrounds himself with are quick to condemn language like this when it suits their #political purposes — but in moments like this, they remain silent.”

#Trump isn’t solely responsible for this. Through hundreds of interviews that Leonnig & longtime WaPo colleague Aaron Davis & conducted, we learned first hand how a mixture of fear & stubborn bravery, gutter politics & noble intentions ultimately paved the way for the unraveling of the #DOJ we are now witnessing. This decline started Trump’s first term but gained momentum in the #Biden presidency.

It’s true #Trump started it all when, in his first presidency, he tried to bend this venerable #law enforcement agency for his own #personal & #political #gain. Trump frequently failed in that effort, but, as learned after 2 years of reporting, all the while he was quietly succeeding in destabilizing the institution’s foundations — & weakening its resolve with his brand of bare-knuckle attacks. That imperiled the rule of law that has long assured all Americans impartial & fair #justice.

“This represents millions of dollars of #research, potentially, that’s now being stopped,” one of the employees said, adding that Americans “aren’t going to benefit from the release of this #science.”

The move to halt the agency’s scientific research has prompted concern from scientists & environmental groups that findings could be altered to conform to the #Trump admin’s #political agenda [gee, ya think?].​

So they made the call: “#JimmyKimmel Live” would temporarily go dark.
That decision—the product of a spider’s web of interlocking #political & #financial pressures placed atop one of the country’s biggest #corporations —quickly morphed into a flashpoint for #FreeSpeech in the #US. Many #Democrats, actors & comedians cried foul as #FarRight activists celebrated.On a diplomatic trip in Britain, #Trump knocked #Kimmel for “bad ratings” & proclaimed that #ABC “should have fired him a long time ago.”

Agencies cannot announce new #funding opportunities until the new protocols are in place, according to the order.

The #Trump admin said these changes are part of an effort to “strengthen oversight” & “streamline agency grantmaking.” Scientists say the order will cripple America’s scientific engine by placing control over federal #research funds in the hands of people who are influenced by #politics & lack relevant expertise.

“This is taking #political control of a once politically neutral mechanism for #funding #science in the US,” said Joseph Bak-Coleman, a scientist studying group decision-making at the University of Washington.

The changes will delay grant review & approval, slowing “progress for cures & treatments that patients & families across the country urgently need,” said the Association of American Medical Colleges in a statement.

#Trump executive order gives #politicians control over all federal #grants, alarming #researchers
