Huge thank you to Judge Susan Illston, who ordered a two-week pause on the DOGE’s mass layoff plans blocking two dozen agencies from carrying out the largest wave of job cuts yet. She ruled the move was illegal without congressional approval.

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes based solely on suspicion that they are “alien enemies.”

Um, Trump admin is arresting judges who are doing their lawful duty upholding our constitution, just because it is stopping what he wants to accomplish. Someone needs to arrest HIM. Now.

NASA’s budget would be slashed nearly in half under Trump’s current proposal to Congress—a move that would wipe out billions in ongoing and future missions. Wonder who that benefits? (Sarcasm, of course.)

Trump said he was not joking about the possibility of seeking a third term, claiming a lot of people wanted him to pursue it. While he emphasized he was focused on the current, he hinted at the existence of methods to make it happen.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

Unacceptable.
We received notice from the CDC that our funding for Care-A-Van has been terminated, effective March 24, 2025. As a result of this unexpected decision, we must immediately suspend Care-A-Van operations. Thank you to all of our requestors and community partners for your support.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
