BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.
This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

The Oversight Committee must immediately call in Hegseth to testify under oath. This huge national security blunder by the Trump Administration has to be investigated.
Then, Hegseth must resign or be fired. In just two months, his incompetence has made our country much less safe.

Tell Congress to protect our rural hospitals by not slashing Medicaid.
Republican Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals, maternity care
Potential Medicaid cuts could devastate America’s teetering rural health-care system and jeopardize Republicans’ political power among rural voters.

Chaos erupts b/t Trump's cabinet and Musk. New reporting from the NY Times:
- Rubio, furious over Musk’s cuts to his agency, fired back after Musk mocked him: “You have fired nobody.” Rubio countered that over 1,500 State Department officials had taken early retirements, accusing Musk of lying.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

NEW: The Department of Justice says it will no longer fight to protect the right of pregnant people to emergency abortion care.
While a judge has temporarily blocked Idaho’s ban on such care, patients’ lives could still be at risk because of the Trump administration's actions.

Our stock market is crashing.
Our economy is contracting.

Our allies are fleeing.
Our grocery prices are rising.
But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."
So it all evens out.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

I mean, Trump has always been diametrically opposed to every populist principle he pretends to support, but I guess sometimes it takes releasing an accused rapist and human trafficker from custody for the phoniness to really sink in.
