NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

The EPA released a report last week that misrepresents the very papers it cites, creating a report completely deprived of facts in order to justify de-regulating industries responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Declaration of Independence ends with these words “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Today, on this July 4th that is the spirit we need to reignite in this country. Not doubling down on divisiveness or degrading one another in Congress or online.

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is STOP FUCKING FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND FOCUS.

Too real 😢

What an absolutely garbage piece of human filth.

I love this so much

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

How exactly is the Trump admin going to figure out which taxpayers have legal immigration status and which ones don’t? Probably through racial profiling, which would then put non-white U.S. citizens and green card-holders in the crosshairs: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/in-seeking... #AtWhatCost

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

As much as I can't stand Elon and what is happening, I would rather see her put in legislation that protects her citizens from the privacy violation or specific actions the administration is taking illegally. The government attacking a business because we don't like the owner is what THEY do.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Nothing feels worse than finding out everyone else in the group chat made a new group chat without you because they’re planning a war you aren’t invited to

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Happy international women’s day!

This hurts

The find out part

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

This is oh so Soviet. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

How it started How it’s going 💰 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not pro-life

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Where are all the MAGA supporters who claim to care about human trafficking?

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Every time my wife says “spouses,” I want to tell her that it should be “spice.” Do I have a problem? #langsky

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

The community note 🤌😘

Now that YouTube’s been forcing me to sign in to watch anything posted on the platform, is anyone else hoping for a Bluesky-esque YouTube clone?
