Just a reminder. The federal debt is almost 39 trillion. 2 billion a day on Iran. Where are all these "fiscal conservatives" at? If Americans haven't learned how Republicans work by now, I don't know what to tell you. It's war, debt, and lies with these people. They know nothing else.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

It’s time to face facts. We’re already in the Second American Civil War and we’ve been in it for years now. Continuing to pretend otherwise is only going to lead to more death and suffering. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-war-is...

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

I beg you to share this story because it's a travesty! Vivi, less than 3 months away from graduating, lost her commission to the military under President Trump's bigoted purge of our armed forces. Vivi was in my best friend's son's ROTC detachment & is his friend. www.laloyolan.com/news/she-wan...

She wanted to be in the military. Trump’s executive order is stopping her.
Vivi Dallmer, a biochemistry major, knew she wanted to be in the military since middle school. After what she described as a fruitful career in ROTC, due to President Donald

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

History teaches us that when governments begin persecuting a vulnerable minority group while simultaneously making it harder for members of that group to escape persecution by fleeing abroad... it doesn't end well for anyone. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
