Can someone tell me how it's making America great again by denying grants to scientists who are now all fleeing to Europe and Canada to do their research?

The EPA repealing all its regs and rules is disgusting. Let's hope that despite this, industry will keep on keeping on with environmental protections.

People are going to die. They're going to die because Elon Musk is attacking Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They're going to die because RFK refuses to endorse the measles vaccine, not to mention putting a pause on next year's flu and Covid vaccines.

Fresh produce prices are going to skyrocket now that Trump has put tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

Dear Canada and Mexico, Many of us are truly sorry for what Trump has done to you. Whatever revenge you want to take is fine with us.

It is beyond me why people can't see that Musk and Trump are trying to enrich themselves at our expense.

One of the stupidest things that Donald Trump has done is to stop the credit card of the manager of 3 natl wildlife refuges in Washington State. How she can't buy toilet paper for the public bathrooms. Two of these are heavily used, so once they run out of inventory, you'll have to bring your own.

Trump appears to think his job is to make Americans less healthy. And when the next pandemic rolls around, there won't be any scientists to discover the next vaccine.

Proud of my US Senators, Patti Murray and Maria Cantwell, who have voted against most of Trump's Cabinet nominees.

Elon Musk is a disgusting human being and it's clear that Trump is highly influenced by him despite Steve Bannon's efforts to stop it. I think I'll call Trump President Musk from now on.

It’s been more than 15 YEARS since we last increased the federal minimum wage. $7.25/hour was not a livable wage in 2009, and it sure isn’t a livable wage now. It’s time to raise the wage to at least $15/hour and deliver for workers across America.
