The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Rubio: “What they're literally fighting over now is about 30 to 50 kilometer space in the 20% of the Donetsk region that remains.” Sovereignty, dignity, and its existence - THAT is what Ukraine is fighting for. The lack of willingness to understand what is actually going on IS the problem.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Way to put out that fire, sir.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

This is beyond bad. All of our disease defenses are down now. We are sitting ducks. This is #RussellVought #DonaldTrump. They are endangering American lives with their insane crusade. These men are hazardous to your health and dangerous to the republic.

"Too."

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

"Practice being brave now, don’t wait for some special moment at the end to be a hero." This is excellent. open.substack.com/pub/peaceful...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

From this month's edition of The Onion.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Who are the functionaries carrying out the destruction of the NIH? The Gang of Four: Memoli, McElroy, Schnabel, Bhattacharya. There are others, but these men play major day-to-day roles, they are the implementers, the enforcers, the true believers. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Earlier today, AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh testified as a bipartisan witness before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, warning that without immediate action, the U.S. runs the risk of losing its position as a global leader in biomedical research and innovation.

President Donald Trump’s administration appears to be killing much, if not all, of a historic initiative that was the first, and is still the largest, National Institutes of Health effort centered on the health needs of women. scim.ag/4jLeLTJ

Paul Revere rides again through #Boston. Well done! #boston250 @mayorwu.boston.gov

Steve Levitsky studies dictatorships. He wrote a marvellous book, ‘How Democracies Die’ (with Daniel Ziblatt), and now he helped convince Harvard university to stand up to Trump www.latimes.com/world-nation...

A reminder of what institutions like Harvard accomplish through scientific research. #science #harvard www.harvard.edu

Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research. 2:30pm Eastern. There is a livestream. This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did. But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.

“This is what happens when you fill a government with all of the most unqualified people ever to hold their roles.”

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!

Has any new drug saved your life or the life of someone you know? If so, you can thank the NIH, which Trump and Musk are illegally destroying, in violation both of the law creating the NIH, and appropriations laws telling NIH what money to spend and how
