National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...

Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

Billionaire companies are bankrolling Trump’s ballroom and it stinks of bribery. That’s why @robertgarcia.house.gov and I introduced a bill to crack down on this potential corruption.
TEXT: WHO IS PAYING FOR TRUMP’S NEW BALLROOM?

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THEY’RE GIVING AWAY THEIR MONEY FOR FREE?

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Delaying a bad plan — which effectively denies people their Social Security — is insufficient. Elon Musk's DOGE must take their hands off Social Security. Keep the pressure on Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump to reverse these cuts. YOUR voice makes a difference.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

1. Trump is pushing forward with his plans to create a "Crypto Strategic Reserve." No one has bothered to explain why diverting government resources into crypto has ANY STRATEGIC BENEFIT FOR THE UNITED STATES. The only benefit is for people who are current investors in crypto. It's a grift.
