Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

The Trump administration is attempting to stall or even reverse scientific progress in the US through firings, funding cuts, and disinformation. RFKJr just paused a fed funded clinical trial developing an oral COVID-19 vaccine. Time to stand up!

DOGE lists 1,125 canceled contracts, claiming $7.2 billion in savings—but many were already completed, meaning no money was actually saved. In fact, 417 contracts saved $0, and another 51 added up to less than $1 million.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Hello friends. Let’s start this morning off with a pep talk.
The overwhelm, confusion, and fear you’re feeling is what they want you to feel. They want you helpless, hopeless, and paralyzed. Do not take their intimidation and do not give them your joy.
