Trump's corruption and misuse of our taxpayer dollars is unprecedented in American history. Congress must hold him accountable.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

The two words you want to use are "segregation" and "eugenics"

In news that will surprise no one, Stephen Miller is the driving force behind unprecedented mass detentions & deportations of immigrant children. This administration operates without any regard for the rule of law or the humanity of these kids.

Russel Vought will reportedly be given veto power over all NIH grants arstechnica.com/science/2026...

This will make it nearly impossible to file habeas petitions, because attorneys won’t even know what federal district their client has been moved to to stage for their removal. Something like a third of all people in ICE custody. apnews.com/article/ice-...

The White House budget proposal for FY27 slash NSF funding by more than 50% and would drastically reduce support for PhDs, postdocs & investigator-initiated research. Selling something is not the same as doing something. Science is hard. This 'new golden age' won't make it easier.

ICE has lost count of how many of its detainees have suffered miscarriages, The Guardian reports:

Can Ohio's one remaining Democratic justice survive this year? Jennifer Brunner, a former secretary of state, is seeking a second term this fall:

There's A LOT of ways the Trump admin is currently attacking & decimating American science. Here's a breakdown of what they are doing, and what you can do about it. 🧵

Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports have shown a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect. www.austinchronicle.com/news/texas-p...

Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

ICYMI— A Chicago ICE agent has been identified as the man who pointed his gun in a Virginia driver's face last week in videos that went viral. We found members of his team involved in a slew of violent incidents recorded across several states in the last year. They're still active in Chicago:

Things for scientists have been bad because of the relentless attacks by this regime but they haven’t been catastrophic across the board because many us still had funding from the Biden times but this will end for many in 2027.

First Liam Conejo Ramos. Now Liam Tadeo.   How many five-year-old boys need to be taken by ICE before Republicans will admit to the cruelty of this mass deportation campaign? Where is our humanity? How can we justify putting a five-year-old through this?

ICE agents detained a man outside a barber shop in an arrest that a federal judge later said indicated “egregious” carelessness.

Lindsay Clancy’s defense argues she killed her three kids because of postpartum psychosis. But armchair detectives, including many fed-up mothers, are laying blame with her ex-husband. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Ken Paxton’s office helped bury records involving hundreds of lab animals, including at least 100 dogs subjected to painful testing. Now, Meidas News has obtained disturbing photos and video of what he fought to keep hidden.

"NSF plans to claw back around US$500 million that has already been distributed to grant-making divisions. That money would be withdrawn from three of the NSF’s eight main areas, or directorates: engineering; computer and information science and engineering; and mathematical and physical science."

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad

After the Supreme Court gutted the VRA, the GOP rushed to redraw Tennessee's congressional map and turn the majority-Black district around Memphis into a red-leaning seat. Voters are choosing their nominees next week.

Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

The FCC is demanding certain ABC stations file license renewals earlier than they're otherwise scheduled to in apparent retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about the Trump administration. Help us flood the FCC with comments objecting to this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Read this. It’s shocking. It’s murder. Not manslaughter, murder. He did it on purpose and then tried to ridiculously lie about it. But here’s the main point. Every politician, media person, ANYONE who has deliberately sought to “other” or lessen the humanity of people on bikes is an accomplice.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.
