MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Just talked with my wife, we are cancelling our Disney+ subscription. If you have one, I encourage you to do the same.

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."

Donna Lieberman of @nyclu.org is absolutely right. It's vital that @governor.ny.gov sign these critical bills to protect New Yorkers' reproductive freedom, including the NY Health Information Privacy Act that I carry w/@lindabrosenthal.bsky.social. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."

This is literally some of the craziest shit I have ever read. And that's saying a lot. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Some good news. NIH budget to get $400M bump not the 40% cut requested. Hopefully not just ignored ... www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

Excited to see our manuscript out @natcomms.nature.com pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40721431/. We identified that the 18S rRNA methylase DIMT-1 regulates lifespan by functioning in the germline after midlife. 1/8

I was born in the McCarthy era, but this is McCarthyism on steroids. Our democracy is under dire threat. But we have a government of laws, not men. And NO ONE is above the law.

Congratulations to Anne @brunetlab.bsky.social for being elected to the AAAS www.amacad.org/new-members-...! And congratulations to all the other new members

Don't become Vichy France

Last week, House Democrats opposed giving Elon Musk and Trump a blank check funding bill that would allow them to gut programs and services families rely on. The Senate must pass a short-term spending bill so we can pass bipartisan bills that protect programs for our communities.

Senate Democrats if you need a playbook for how to vote, simply look to what Mitch McConnell did when Barack Obama was proposing very centrist legislation. You are the opposition party now, act like it! @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov

They literally just told everyone in the dept of education to not come to work!!! They are already doing this!!!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Donna Lieberman, @dlnyclu.bsky.social Executive Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union @nyclu.org on Mahmoud Khalil: "There is not a hint of a claim that he did any of those things. The idea that he should be deported is illegal, wrong, and reeks of McCarthyism."
