It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.

Science took a massive hit this year.
A crippled #NIH =
1. Incomplete studies that could lead to next gen treatments
2. Unfinished clinical trials that put patients' lives at risk
3. Brain drain w/ China as new leader
4. Fewer next gen scientists get trained

‘This year nearly broke me as a scientist’ – US researchers reflect on how 2025’s science cuts have changed their lives
US science lost a great deal in 2025, including tens of billions of dollars of federal funding, entire research agencies and programs, and a generation of researchers.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

What was the Broadview ICE facility like? Unsanitary, uncomfortable, and smelly. There was no food vendor or medical care available. The way immigrants and U.S. citizens have been treated there is unacceptable.
