Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. go.nature.com/4bpG2It

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

The US is a sanctuary for rapists/sex traffickers. After the Trump administration pressured Romania to lift travel restrictions, the Tate brothers have landed in Florida. In other news, six states have proposed legislation to charge women who have abortions with homicide.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: propub.li/3WScD3g
A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled 'In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…' and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."

Don't confuse being a fast talker with being a deep thinker. Speaking quickly signals confidence, not complexity. Don't mistake volume for expertise. Speaking loudly reflects conviction, not credibility. Sometimes the best ideas come from the least assertive voice in the room.

You probably haven’t heard a lot about the OMB, but it has immense power over federal agencies — and Trump is trying to put the architect of Project 2025 in charge.
(above an image of the White House) WHAT IS THE OMB?
(OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET)
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for putting together the president's budget and ensuring the federal government executes the White
House's agenda.(next to an image of Congress) WHAT DOES THE OMB DIRECTOR DO?
The OMB director has immense power over federal agencies.
In addition to serving as the president's watchdog for the entire Executive Branch and managing the implementation of federal regulations and executive orders, the OMB director also coordinates with Congress on the White House's budget priorities.(next to an image of Russell Vought) WHO IS TRUMP'S NOMINEE FOR OMB DIRECTOR?
Russell Vought-Trump's OMB director for the last two years of his first term.
After Trump's loss in 2020, Vought became the architect of Project 2025 - MAGA extremists' plan to transform the federal government into a tool of white Christian nationalism and political revenge.
Vought supports nationwide abortion abolition and massive cuts to life-saving programs like Social Security and Medicare.
He's also vowed to push unconstitutional spending schemes to get Trump's agenda(above an image of an arm holding up a megaphone) WHAT CAN I DO?
Vought still needs to be confirmed by at least 50 senators before he can become
OMB director. The final vote for Vought's nomination is expected this week.
Contact your senators and tell them to vote NO on Trump's dangerous pick for OMB director.
