The agency has sat on the report for months. “Scientifically, it was done,” said one scientist.

I voted and returned my ballot.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

To my Republican colleagues: You cannot sit idly by while he endangers our troops, breaks the law, and undermines our democracy.
