Something your parents could have done a better job at if only for a few more branches. Oh I think I get it. When a Republican crashes the market: "You just need to plan better" When a Democrat crashes the market: "This is why you vote Republican" Do I have that right?

Quote Most Americans think President Trump is too "erratic” in implementing his trade agenda as he slaps tariffs onto the country’s top trading partners and they want him to combat high prices, according to a new survey published Wednesday night. The new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 57 percent of U.S. voters, including around a third of Republicans, think the president’s policies are shaky as he imposes levies on goods coming into the country. A third, 32 percent, disagreed while 11 percent were unsure.

March 13Mar 13 https://www.masslive.com/worcester/2025/03/umass-chan-freezes-hiring-rescinds-phd-program-admissions-amid-funding-uncertainty.html Quote UMass Chan freezes hiring, rescinds PhD program admissions amid funding uncertainty UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester announced a hiring freeze, spending freeze and rescinded admissions for one of its biomedical science doctorate programs this week, citing ongoing uncertainty regarding federal funding. A memo on Tuesday by UMass Chan Chancellor Michael Collins and three additional officials from the school reads that a hiring and spending freeze goes into effect immediately. The memo said UMass Chan faces uncertainty due to the Trump administration’s plan to put a 15% cap on indirect costs on all future and existing grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH). All hiring, including faculty, grant-funded positions and summer internships, are paused until further notice and furloughs and layoffs will be necessary, according to the memo. Additionally, all discretionary spending, including but not limited to using university funds for conferences, travel, food and events, consultants and contractors and memberships, dues and subscriptions, have been paused until further notice, the memo reads. "Through this uncertain time, be assured that executive leaders are in close communication and working through these challenges with department chairs and other leaders across our organization, while also continuing to advocate for the lifesaving and life-enhancing benefits that we know biomedical research offers people across the commonwealth and around the world,” the memo reads. The school also released another statement this week announcing that several dozen applicants seeking their doctorate at the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences were informed that their offers of admission were rescinded. The decision to rescind the admissions was also related to NIH funding uncertainties, according to the school’s office of communications. "With uncertainties related to the funding of biomedical research in this country, this difficult decision was made to ensure that our current students’ progress is not disrupted by the funding cuts and that we avoid matriculating students who may not have robust opportunities for dissertation research,” the statement reads. Current doctoral candidates for the school are not impacted, nor are any applicants to UMass Chan’s two other graduate schools: the T.H. Chan School of Medicine and the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing, the statement reads. Impacted applicants are being offered the chance to receive priority consideration without the requirement to reapply if they wish to join the school’s doctoral program during a future admission cycle, according to the statement. Other Massachusetts education institutions have taken steps to limit hiring amid uncertainty regarding federal funding. Harvard University announced a temporary hiring freeze on Monday due to "rapidly shifting federal policies,” according to a letter from Harvard President Alan Garber. Even though a federal judge in Boston has blocked the 15% cap on NIH funding during legal proceedings, the Tuesday memo reads that it is not a "final resolution,” and UMass Chan stands to lose $40 to $50 million annually, according to the memo. Additionally, the memo reads that promotions and raises, including the annual July 1 salary increase program, are on hold and that the school’s research facility is facing a slowdown in federal meetings and reviews, which moves the process along for grant funding. "Taken together, these proposed policy changes require us to reduce spending immediately to address the very real and immediate impacts created,” the memo reads. "While we wish there was a straightforward way to insulate our campus from these actions, the only prudent and responsible path forward is to act now.” Other Umass schools have also paused all graduate admissions and are considering rescinding existing offers. So much winning.

March 13Mar 13 Quote U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans that vary from partnering more closely with the Panamanian military to the less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the Panama Canal by force, the officials said. Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much the Panamanian military agrees to partner with the U.S. Ok, we have an updated active plan to seize the canal with military force, yay
