This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

simply because their research didn’t align with the administration’s narrative. Let that sink in: the federal government is pressuring a medical journal over what it’s allowed to publish. This isn’t about science or national security, it’s about control. It’s about silencing dissent.

It’s been a long week. Every day under this administration somehow feels worse than the last. We know how exhausting this fight can be, but don’t give up. Get some rest tonight. Tomorrow is another big day. Many of our coalition members spent today traveling to event sites around the country.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
