Russ Vought wanted feds ‘in trauma.’ It’s happening. By Robin Bravender | 10/16/2025 01:42 PM EDT President Donald Trump’s budget director spent his “years of exile” planning cuts to the federal bureaucracy. www.eenews.net/articles/rus...

Police pushed out a couple of the attendees at a diabetes scientific meeting. The crime: Passing out printouts of a recent publication calling out the administration for destroying our research infrastructure. The right to free speech was infringed upon. Censorship is real. We have to stand up.

Though Congress approved an increase in the #NIH budget, it is of little consequence b/c Vought has purposely slow walked funding distribution of grant awards. His intention is to move power away from Congress. Chapter 2 of Project 2025. It was all there. 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“The way I see what is happening in Trump’s America is very equivalent to some of the cases I prosecuted in the U.S. Attorney’s Office… It is about using leverage, rewards, and other kinds of power to control behavior.”―Barbara McQuade, author of "The Fix."👇🏾https://youtu.be/3hZB5NY8J_0 #PINKS #BSBC

Three studies used by RFK Jr and allies to justify controversial vaccine policies changes facing new scrutiny www.theguardian.com/science/2026... #vaccines #publichealth #science #HHS #FDA #CDC

Dan Rather has a warning for 60 Minutes: every story should carry an asterisk: "Approved by Trump." The scariest censorship isn't when the government shuts down the press. It's when corporations do it for them. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A5stYHMYESSK...

For those no longer on fElon’s shitty platform - enjoy the fire Hunter Biden is bringing - it’s the best ( I’m only there for groups I work with)

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s policy targeting immigrants from 39 countries. The court ruled the government can’t leave people stuck in endless legal limbo or hold immigration applications hostage to a travel ban. The courts just said no. ⚖️ #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A-_jUFDH8Swi...

This is 🔥 More words of incredible insight by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. Authoritarian leaders appeal to people by creating a false sense of how the world was better before (Golden Age). They sell a fake narrative of an atavistic future based on half-truths. Erasing history is their agenda.

Long before this regime turned “wokeness” into a political punching bag, Black women used the term as a call to vigilance—a reminder to stay awake to the systems designed to undermine our safety & humanity.―Stacey Abrams staceyabrams.substack.com/p/democracy-... @staceyabrams.com #PINKS

The SAVE Act is officially dead for now. The bill which would have affected mostly married women or anyone who has changed their name, required documentation to vote. Most Americans did not have access to the documents required. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.npr.org/2026/06/04/n...

Ana Navarro~I could not agree more! “What really bothers me is that there is not MORE solidarity and outrage from the press in that room…and that’s why I feel like it’s so ridiculous & hypocritical for people to go & sit at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.” She is absolutely correct. #Pinks

Trump says we are not at war and yet he is using a wartime defense act to give $700 million taxpayer dollars to a dead, environmentally unfriendly industry. I for one am tired of paying for endless incompetence and vain projects. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ALAh_rMJfScC...

Contractors filled the pool’s joints with foam before sealing & spraying the entire base with a bright "American flag blue". Preservationists sued to stop the work, arguing that the bold blue fundamentally alters the historic, darker-bottomed civic landscape designed for deep reflection. #Pinks

THE OFFICIAL @standupforscience.net GUIDE FOR TALKING TO ANYONE ABOUT THE OMB RULE PROPOSAL!! www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-a...

Russ Vought is using Heritage Foundation fallacies and transphobia to require fact-based scientific research to conform to his twisted right-wing B.S. Send public comments before July 13. See Colette Delawalla's videos below for more. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Jim Acosta is at the Kennedy Center reporting on additional signage that must be removed. Trump even put his name on the damn bus! 🚎 I can’t wait for the removal to begin. They have a week from today to get started!

#DozyDon falls asleep during an Oval Office meeting again resulting in calls for the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Sleeping is the best thing he can do. He isn’t screwing up the world or spending tax payer money to build monuments to himself. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news

Members of Congress are calling for the 25th Amendment. Will it stick this time? If Joe Biden fell asleep like that, he’d be removed pretty much overnight. We need that zeal now. F47 is having trouble staying awake.

OMB is Waging a Disinformation Campaign. They are Lying About the Reasons for Changing OMB’s Federal Financial Assistance Rule. Read all about it in my latest essay on substack. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/omb-is-wag...

This is a good pithy explainer by @cdelawalla.bsky.social, founder of @standupforscience.net on OMB's proposed rule that affects federal funding. It impacts cancer research, clinical trials, women’s health, climate change, how scientists disseminate information at conferences & public.🧪

I f’ing love Rep. Ro Khannna! Here he is defending our taxpayer money against feeding billions to the Department of “War.” I wish more were like him! Take a listen! 👇🏼

Kaitlan Collins was exposed again to another misogynistic attack from Trump. When will her colleagues in room stand up? These attacks have been escalating and it shouldn’t be ignored. This is fascism, plain and simple. Trump wants the press silenced when it doesn’t favor him!

www.npr.org/2026/06/04/n... The SAVE America Act, a far-reaching Republican election overhaul that Trump said should be his congressional allies' top priority, has officially failed in the Senate.

THIS should make every American wake up...this is dangerous- another nail in the coffin of democracy as the authoritarian government is suffocating it. We must ALL vote for common sense leadership and for those who are Republicans-set aside your party- VOTE TO SAVE DEMOCRACY- #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks

Grants approved by NIH for funding are now going through an extra screening at HHS. Staffers there who may be political appointees and not necessarily subject matter experts ask for substantive changes in the proposal. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Did you know Pharma companies are heavily reliant on federally funded work.They invest in projects only after decades of basic & translational studies show real commercial promise. They can influence the WH to stop the destruction of science. Why are they silent? 🧪 www.biocentury.com/article/659615

“The condition or the disease needs to be actively interfering with your ability to work.” Chemotherapy & radiation are debilitating. Our health system is already broken. But let the ultra rich get tax cuts they don’t need & hooray for a war that F47 can’t get out of. www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

Eyes closed, accountability open. Video evidence & reporting documented Trump dozing during his own trial proceedings. He’s been asleep during cabinet meetings & during the Memorial Day ceremony. When leaders make stamina an issue, the documentation matters. Share the evidence & repost. #Pinks

Excellent news.

My governor, Gov Bob Ferguson, just signed an EO granting support and resources for perimenopausal/menopausal woman workers who serve WA State. This is an amazing first step in recognizing what women go through in silence. Look up the stats for yourself & behold what the economic & social impact is

This is personalized medicine taken to a different level. 69% of melanoma patients treated w/ combination therapy (Keytruda + vaccine) were cancer free. If you haven't noticed yet, vaccines are the new wave of next gen cancer therapeutics. Thank #NIH funding. 🧪 www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

Didn’t Louis Pasteur invent pasteurization for a reason? It’s hard to have sympathy for those who make stupid choices because “science is woke.” Another successful experiment in stupidity. Kennedy rejects the germ theory of disease. 2026 y’all. www.foodsafetynews.com/2026/06/doze... #Pinks

Just heard a great quote from @hcrichardson.bsky.social “Every system needs a referee.” Excellent metaphor for having regulations and oversight instead of abandoning all.
