Really cool NYT tool that visualizes in real time where each candidate has their strengths. Cuomo doing very well in majority-Black precincts and the city's poorest precincts, trailing most everywhere else. nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

Trump wants to punish Harvard by cutting off federal grants but the result is cutting research into cancer, mental health, opioid addiction, sleep deprivation and hundreds of other projects that benefit Americans. @emilymbadger Aatish Bhatia @ethanpsinger nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

The National Science Foundation is awarding new grants at the slowest pace in at least 35 years. The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

DOGE debuted a website last month cataloging the contracts the group says it has canceled to save taxpayers money. Since then, the list has undergone dizzying changes. The story + a fun animated bubble chart (that I've spent way too long staring at) from @emilymbadger and I.

The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations.

Because DOGE altered its website, I spent 15 minutes going back and forth, baffled about why the amounts and other info such as the dates had changed, I only figured out what was really happening bc the NYT laid it out nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upsho…

DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million. (Published 2025)

DOGE claimed $8 billion in savings from a cancelled contract on their new "wall of receipts." It was actually $8 million. Around the time we published the story, DOGE removed a screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim 8 bil. in savings. nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upsho…
