Trump wants to punish Harvard by cutting off federal grants but the result is cutting research into cancer, mental health, opioid addiction, sleep deprivation and hundreds of other projects that benefit Americans. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

nytimes.comHere Is All the Science at Risk in Trump’s Clash With HarvardMore than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Wisest choice for Americans, go anywhere else but DC, en masse & upstage him. Hit him where it hurts. Ratings & news coverage 👍

No one is coming to your stupid parade. We will be elsewhere at our No Kings protests.

Exclusive: Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft struck a deal with President Trump last month intended to secure the future of New York’s oldest law firm. Instead the pact is backfiring, adding to an exodus of lawyers that has placed the firm on uncertain footing.

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

I am no foreign policy expert, but it’s heartbreaking to consider the years of heroism and terrible sacrifices of the Ukrainian people in the face of rank Russian aggression, only to have Trump come in and kneecap them. Forget 2014 borders, forget NATO. Putin is a happy man tonight.

You are up to date.
