See what’s happening? Trump pardoned 1500 violent J6 criminals who assaulted the police at the Capitol. He’s brought in the military for law enforcement. And now those with shotguns and AR-15s are free to roam DC. He’s creating his own violent militia. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

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. 🧵

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Judges handling cases related to the Trump administration should do more than simply rule; they should explain their decisions to uphold public trust and the legitimacy of the judiciary. Former Judge Nancy Gertner and Joel Cohen, a former prosecutor, explain why trust within the courts is paramount.
