I think we could all use a little bit more of this perspective right now. And together, we will overcome.
NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities . This is potentially devastating for the research enterprise in the US. nature.com/articles/d4158…
Just left Florida’s Everglades immigrant detention camp. 750 humans in cages. Not allowed to speak to detainees. No walk through of occupied areas. Immigrants without criminal records. $450 MILLION in no-bid contracts for GOP donors. I am ashamed. Shut this facility down now.
This is a REAL TWEET. Republican Congressman CELEBRATING the theft of your health care to fund billionaires’ tax cuts.
17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors. The ultimate betrayal.
“Was it unsafe when you let the President of the United States in just hours ago?” @CarlosGSmith 🔥🔥
Florida lawmakers denied access to detention camp in the Everglades because of “safety concerns”, but those safety concerns do not extend to those detained there or the president of the United States who got a tour yesterday. There is also no running water or plumbing.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Rand Paul just exposed that Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill will drastically increase the deficit. Make sure every American sees this.

HAHAHA! The crowd for Trump’s birthday parade is TINY! They claimed 200,000 people would show up and it doesn’t even look like 1,000 showed up. How embarrassing for MAGA! No Kings blew this out of the water!!!
Friendly reminder that the taxpayer dollars to fund today’s dumb military parade could support projects in around 24 research labs for the next 5 years.
BREAKING: a group of U.S veterans were just arrested at the Capitol for attempting to sit on the steps in protest of Trump’s “military parade.”
US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker )
I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous…
