The National Institutes of Health has abruptly canceled millions of dollars in grants for research without a valid explanation, stifling scientific progress and putting lives at risk. We're taking the Trump administration to court this week because funding science shouldn't be political.

This bill would have caused 13.7 million Americans to become uninsured. Thank you to every lawmaker who fought for the American people today and voted NO.

And as soon as Democrats stopped flying to the gulag and everyone stopped talking about it, Trump’s immigration numbers started climbing back up

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

This isn't even including that the US's FBI director provided "consulting services" for the Qatari regime. (What does that actually mean? What did it entail? We have no idea.) www.citizen.org/article/lett...

Happy Mother’s Day to all that mother…

Thanks for the clarification @merriam-webster.com!

Anti-ethnic cleansing protests happening in Worcester, Massachusetts. The people demand justice and for Trump's ICE regime troops to leave their neighbourhoods. #3E #StopICE #USprotests (@worcester_bumps) “GET ICE OUT OF WORCESTER” “WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS”

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Jeannine Pirro (new pick to be DC US Attorney) Her executive producer (at Fox News) called her “nuts” and a “reckless maniac,” who “should never be on live television.” That lawsuit cost the Fox News Channel $787 million. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

He fired her because of DEI, which is code for “she’s black, brown, or a woman”.

I didn’t think this story could get worse, but…

Wishful thinking, but I like the sentiment.

A federal court says Alabama can't use a congressional map it found unconstitutional. The ruling comes in a voting rights case that resulted in the state getting a second Black member of Congress.

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Just going to leave this here….

Omg this is great

It’s reasonable to expect that the surgeon general is actually licensed to practice… Are we on candid camera?

Look, is the surgeon general qualified? No. But does she suck up to RFK and have a lot of Instagram followers? Yes! And that’s what matters!

‘Unethical’ AI research on Reddit under fire: Ethics experts raise concerns over consent, study design | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Jeffries: "What Republicans have decided to spend this entire legislative day doing is debate a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico. Now, in some ways I guess the American people can be thankful, because this week what Rs were going to try was visit upon the people the largest Medicaid cut in history"

“Approximately 40,000 children born every year have some type of heart condition, Antaki said, but that isn’t a large enough number to incentivize medical device companies to invest .. “For that reason,” Antaki said, “our only option is federal funding ..” news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

This week, Republicans in Congress are meeting behind closed doors to decide how many people they want to kick off Medicaid. How many kids will have to lose their health care coverage to fund tax handouts for billionaires?

Anyone who can scream for years about Hunter Biden, and then tolerate this and not scream one thousand times louder, is not an ethical person. The republican party is not, today, an ethical party. Situational ethics is no ethics.

You’re not imagining things. Oil is down 30% since inauguration week. “Retail gasoline prices, meanwhile, have risen slightly.” ⛽️ - Brusuelas

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

As one of Trump’s political opponents pointed out on the floor of the Senate: “If you were mayor of a medium-sized town and it was reported that you were selling meetings for, like, $200, you would be arrested.”

Military personnel, you know right from wrong do not point your guns at American citizens.

Really great piece about policing. time.com/collections/...

Dems need to push back on this (attempts to strip Harvard of its tax exemption)….We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Joyce Vance: ….in an environment where DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, which has historically policed the police, is no more, in an environment where the bully is in charge, anything goes. And we all need to stay on guard. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Joyce Vance uses the words Constitutional Distress, which is a good way of describing where we find ourselves right now. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

From Heather Cox Richardson: He is trying to recreate the nation of more than 100 years ago, in which the role of government was to protect the wealthy and enable them to make money from the country’s resources and its people. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
