The Trump admin has made us a thoroughly dishonorable nation.
On board was a 24-year-old Afghan whose father, brother and sister worked alongside U.S. forces, said AfghanEvac, a U.S.-based group that assists Afghan allies, the American Civil Liberties Union and a person familiar with the operation who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Deporting relatives of Afghans who aided the U.S. military during its 20-year campaign in Afghanistan breaks a longstanding American commitment to protect wartime allies. Thousands of Afghans fled with their families after the Taliban overthrew the U.S.-backed government in Kabul five years ago.

Pass term limits. Ban congressional stock trading. Overturn Citizens United. Get foreign influence out of our politics. It won't fix everything, but it's a start. We need leaders who are willing to fight to fix the broken system that’s shutting down Alaska.

Effectively Unfundable
Aaron Scherer, PhD, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of lowa's Carver School of Medicine, studies why people do or don't get vaccinated. On April 1, 2025, his career-development award — which covered most of his salary — was abruptly terminated. The reason he was given, he said, was that 'it is the policy of NIH not to prioritize vaccine hesitancy." With vaccine-preventable diseases resurging, he said, the decision made no sense.
The fallout reshaped his career. His project manager left; his department had to absorb his and his graduate student's salaries. Because his planned next grant was also on vaccine confidence
— now effectively unfundable — the award meant to launch his independence instead left him starting over. He has since submitted three proposals on unrelated topics; the earliest, he said, might be funded in April 2027, if at all.
. "95% of my salary is
supposed to come from grant funding,'
" he said.
