Presumably Democratic senators previously inclined to vote to fund more of this when it hits the floor understand that nobody will accept your justification no matter how well your comms person is at writing statements?

Read this exceptional piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different. 

Today, August 25, 2025, is that morning. Something is materially different in our country this week than last.

This was our second protest in Roseville, Ca. Much bigger than the first!

So much this (the part about doubting the 2026 election will actually come). My fear is that it’s going to take more than demonstrations and I don’t know what that more is.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

My wife and I tuned into his big post-election Zoom where he was going to tell us what he was going to do to protect California from the horrors of Trump and it was all just meaningless pablum. Not at all surprised.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes
Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

Look the details are still coming in but in general the assault on biomedical and other scientific research right now is unprecedented. They are going to kill cancer patients, infectious disease patients, and plenty more. It’s dark as hell.
