Here's an update from Congress on the fight to protect abortion access across the country.

Today, @smith.senate.gov and I reintroduced the Stop Comstock Act. Right wing strategists have been foaming at the mouth for years to abuse antiquated laws to take women back to the 1800s.

Ouch. Republican Representative Tom Barrett held a tele-town hall with his constituents in his swing district in Michigan on Monday and ran a survey asking if they support DOGE.

70% of the participants said they do not.

Moving a detainee around to evade judicial review is classic authoritarian behavior.
The government claims Mahmoud Khalil was already in NJ on his way to Louisiana by the time his habeas petition was filed—an argument that the NY federal court lacks jurisdiction.

But Khalil's lawyer checked the ICE locator when she filed and even 4 hrs after, and he was listed as still being in NY.

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.
