Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

The IRS could collect $500 billion LESS in tax revenue this year due to DOGE cuts to the agency. A big chunk of that will come from the rich underpaying their taxes. Meanwhile, only $7.7 billion of DOGE "savings" can actually be verified.

The IRS could collect $500 billion less in tax revenue, report says, and the US may run out of cash in a few months without a debt-ceiling hike
An expected 10% revenue decline is due to changes in taxpayer behavior and President Donald Trump's cuts to the IRS, according to The Washington Post.

Be clear about what you are seeing in the firings of these senior military officers. This has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyalty by the Armed Forces to the leader.

It is VITAL that more of the American public be made aware of what’s happening here, and the grave dangers it poses to the Republic. Removing responsible JAG leaders actually is a more serious danger than firing the chairman of the joint chiefs. PLEASE REPOST.
