uh holy SHIT?

Ask questions about sex characteristics, lose funding. That's the whole game, if you study any biology. Imagine your physics grant got cut because you study gravity. It's now against the rules to ask questions about gravity. #ScienceSky 🧪

The Trump administration & #ICE are traumatizing & torturing children. It's our duty to expose this & stop it. So share the stories in this thread far & wide. Talk to your neighbors & call Congress at 202-224-3121. It only takes 2 minutes and they need to know that we object to #ICELawlessness.

Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media & Technology Group (Truth Social owner) recently became officers and investors of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for the US assets of Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum. My latest:

In the CBS statement excerpted above, it uses the term "Russiagate"—a far-right slur—to describe the very real Trump-Russia scandal and speaks of "the president's fitness to serve" without naming a POTUS (to avoid offending anyone). What lies ahead is pandering to MAGA—full stop.

If this move sticks, "the effect matches a direct prohibition [on women in the workforce], but the method avoids accountability because no law passed and no vote occurred" Don't let them get away with quietly enforcing this Project 2025 goal.

This is a crucial line from Mamdani Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker

Only 28% Of Counties Have Measles Herd Immunity Measles “herd immunity” requires 95% of kindergartners vaccinated. Only 28% of US counties pass. Schools, buffeted by politics, have become less strict. 5.2 million kids are in danger of Measles outbreak. 🎁 www.washingtonpost.com/health/inter...

Miller is a zealot who does not care if ridding the country of #immigrants and Black and Brown people destroys the #economy (it already is in certain sectors) and causes the Greatest #Depression the country has ever seen Trump, however, cares about poll numbers. As presumably does Vance

This is the America I grew up believing in. We can still make it a reality.

This is my second Watergate-a-day post today, so we might have to change the name.

This is the kind of big thinking we need. The Democratic world should be going through Supreme Court precedents. Here the key date is the 2000 GWB election, which @raskin.house.gov called effectively stolen — and the Court’s work after that the fruit of a poison tree.

Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program. Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Arrest The Entire Chump Regime In 2029,Or Before.......

Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

Jack Smith: “President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol does not happen without him” #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

YES 💙 to one & all... And to kick off 2026, the House released the entire 255-page Jack Smith deposition transcript !!! 💥 🇺🇸 Here in video & in print via Lawfare's Anna Bower. Enjoy!! bsky.app/profile/anna...

JACK SMITH: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retained classified docs, obstructed justice… I’d charge an ex president again regardless of party.”

I recently joined my colleagues in introducing the American Affordability Act. This is a bill that would attack the affordability crisis from every angle, especially with my authored bills that will help create more affordable housing.

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with: 1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable. 2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable. 3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

In 2026, we are taking back our science. You don’t have to love all our tactics, but please trust me when I say @standupforscience.bsky.social is on the right side of history and we will remain so. The original call out remains: GET IN, DORKS! open.substack.com/pub/sciencef...

So after being found to have made "arbitrary and capricious" determinations without seriously examining each grant, he makes a blanket statement about not renewing them. We've got a legal genius on our hands... 3/3

2/3

Director Bhattacharya spending more time on podcasts, this time taking about not renewing grants NIH was forced to restore. Good reporting from @aniloza.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/12/31/n... 1/3

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

lol

We couldn’t love Auntie Maxine more!

Our government is denying immigrant cancer patients medical care. C-A-N-C-E-R PATIENTS! Do you think hearing this would make a difference to your MAGA neighbors? If so please share this story of #ICELawlessness. An immigration violation shouldn't be a death sentence. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Ok, so can we all agree now that Trump et al. started the year off with the intention of destroying science? I’m tired of having to talk people out of diplomatic and graceful explanations of this crap. 😫

Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intneded to target a government function. "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."

Anyone watching TV that day knows this.

These people are criminals. wapo.st/4baSiya

The Blue Tsunami continues!!! 🌊🌊🌊

"Hope is something that you create, with your actions. Hope is something you have to manifest into the world, & once 1 person has hope, it can be contagious. Other people start acting in a way that has more hope." @aoc.bsky.social is serving a powerful #CupOfJoe to move forward.

“As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers,” she wrote.

It’s incredibly disturbing that Judge Aileen Cannon…is still a judge. That conversation doesn’t come up enough.

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

Cross: And I just find it laughable that the party of the self-proclaimed pro-life people are celebrating cutting off funding to children…

LOUISIANA: ICE officer pleads guilty to sexually abusing Nicaraguan detainee for Months “while she was under his authority”

@repyassansari.bsky.social speaking out against the abuse of power of this administration and human rights violations being committed against people to make a quota.

This must get people out in the streets

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

This is so important.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year. I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds. youtu.be/EM0uTojxLCM?...
