Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Across the NIH and NSF, billions in research grants have been frozen or cancelled. The National Cancer Institute faces a $4 billion slash - a 37% cut.

Those aren’t abstract numbers. Those are cancelled Alzheimer’s trials. Stalled cancer studies. Dead-end cures.

“My attorneys have done incredible work advancing the Trump agenda and protecting the executive branch from judicial overreach,” she told the senators. ”We have been sued more than 400 times since January 20”

So far, the only thing of note in this pathetic Pam Bondi judiciary hearing is that she has absolutely no fear of ever being held accountable for lying under oath to the Senate and the American people, or doing whatever is necessary to protect Trump and his rich pedophile friends.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

Every American is responsible for the extrajudicial murders being committed by the Trump Government for as long as we allow them to continue. History will tell the tale. Disagree? Tell me about the good Germans of the 1930s.
