On April 18, 1975, at the Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton Hotel, John Lennon performed three songs: “Slippin’ and Slidin’” (a Little Richard cover), “Stand by Me” (Ben E. King’s classic), and “Imagine.” It was his final public performance. Here’s a clip from it.

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

He literally brags on social media about assuming enemy positions against U.S. citizens, and using the office of the president to knock out their power, wealth, authority and reputations. None of this falls under the duties of his office.

Listen to Aaron Parnas as he exposes, yet again, the disgusting greed & disgraceful power of the Trump family. Sadly, money talks more than humanity. Vietnam is forcing farmers to move the graves of their ancestors to make room for Trump’s new building.

Louisiana just criminalized being poor. Sleep outside: arrested. Can’t pay the fine or the mandatory “treatment program”? The court orders unpaid labor for the state. That’s not a treatment pipeline. That’s a forced labor pipeline and Republicans built it on purpose. Cruel and inhumane.

Can someone stop Trump from destroying historic DC? The Eisenhower Executive Office Building is famous for its gray granite facade, and he wants to paint it white, costing taxpayers at least $7.5 million. NEWSFLASH: this isn’t going to lower gas or grocery prices or open the Strait of Hormuz.
