It was never about trade deficits, it was all cash grab for stocks. Every single one of them needs to be put in jail.

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled the Trump regime must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

How lawless do your actions have to be for even Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to rule against them?

Amidst all of the horrors of the Trump administration, one stands above the rest: the trafficking of 270 men to El Salvador's CECOT prison.

Here is the definition of concentration camp from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial. Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of war.

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions.

Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars.

It's crony capitalism at its worst.

There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment.

This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.

I joined my Democratic colleagues today to defend the 86,000 people in our community who rely on MediCal and the 16,900 who rely on CalFresh. House Republicans want to gut these programs to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. I won’t stand for it.

Alt NIH Bluesky 🧪 @altnih4science.bsky.social · Feb 25

One of the remarkable things about #NIH is how rigorously its grants, research, and employees are reviewed. NIH science and scientists are held to a high standard by external reviewers — via study sections and councils, or BSC/site visit reviewers. And the reviews have teeth. 🧪

Gerald Denis @gdenisboston.bsky.social · Feb 25

I’ve served as one of several invited external reviewers for evaluation of an intramural division. The process was rigorous, detailed, and we external reviewers were not afraid to give sharp feedback. Program leadership heard it earnestly; the quality of the intramural science was extraordinary.

The White House seized control of the press pool today, announcing that the administration — not an independent group of journalists — will decide which reporters cover events with the president.

White House says it will determine which reporters have access to the president

“All journalists, outlets and voices deserve a seat at this highly coveted table,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Happy Monday – This week, expect lots of Republican lies about their budget.

3 things to remember:
1) BILLIONS in cuts means cuts to health care and food assistance
2) This is all to give more $$ to BILLIONAIRES
3) GOP doing NOTHING to address high cost of living
