So let me get this straight. This morning, André Ventura (Chega) suggests there was a Watergate-like break-in at his parliamentary office. CCTV reportedly showed 1 of his own MPs entering the office at 7am while cleaners said it was left open overnight Desperate? sicnoticias.pt/pais/politic...

The Science comment on the supposed justification of the Trump assault on science funding in the US. “This is all bullshit”

Time for another note about the Trump administration’s approach to funding US science. But let me make something clear right up front. When I talk to people about this subject (and that includes some journalists as well) and say what I'm about to at the end of this paragaph I am sometimes met with disbelief. But I mean what I say and I am trying my best to say what I mean: The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story. They are naturally not putting it in those words, but instead talking about “gold standard science” and the “reproducibility crisis” and funding “bold inquiry” for “transformational breakthroughs”. This is all bullshit, and it’s important to realize that. Shameless hand-waving bullshit, delivered in a how-dare-you-think-otherwise manner is the defining style of the entire Trump administration. You can see it in every appointee, in every part of the executive branch, and in the pronouncements of all of Trump’s supporters. I realize that this is a simple heuristic to apply, and a very unambiguous and unflattering one, but I find it to be all too useful and all too accurate. Give it a try.

Thoughts on the various Trump administration proposals to revamp US science funding - and what they all have in common:

Our GLOBALCIT Co-Director @maartenpvink.bsky.social testified before Italy's Constitutional Affairs Committee ⚖️ The proposed legal amendment, which would restrict access to citizenship for native-born immigrants' children & widen revocation grounds ⚖️ 🇮🇹 Read the full report 📝 tinyurl.com/49dpxw6j

Yes. But keep in mind that the American passport’s decline is modest in absolute terms. So it’s mainly a story about relative decline (change in rank). open.substack.com/pub/maartenp...

It was an honor to speak today at the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Italian Chamber of Deputies & share evidence from @globalcit.bsky.social, commenting on deeply problematic proposals to restrict access to citizenship for native-born immigrants' children, and widen grounds for revocation.

Betting on wildfires occurring clearly should be illegal.

Polymarket lets people bet on wildfires. Wildfires that those samepeople could easily set in order to win money on this illegal gambling site. Big Tech is organized crime.

Did an interview with @berlingske.bsky.social on worrying developments on citizenship revocation across Europe (esp in Belgium, drastic changes earlier this year). I guess this reaction is a badge of honor… www.berlingske.dk/politik/euro...

Are Danish taxpayers working on construction sites paying for Maarten Vink’s alleged “research”? Because if so, they should get their money back if he does not even follow Supreme Court judgments. I can see that he says he is on Bluesky, which means he is an insignificant loser.
