I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

trump is this close to talking about losing the ‘rigged’ election at all times. It’s all he thinks about. He can barely tamp it down to discuss anything else.

ALERT: Emil Bove declines to rule out 3rd Trump term or denounce Jan. 6 rioters in Senate questionnaire, as he seeks lifetime appointment to federal court Just filed ====> www.cbsnews.com/news/emil-bo...

Trump's imposition of a "$1 spending limit on government credit cards... was done apparently with no knowledge of how essential the cards are to operations. There was no mechanism, for example, to pay for gas for vehicles used to transport patients’ blood samples..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/h...

"At the N.I.H.’s hospital devoted to clinical research on its Bethesda campus" Trump's firings "included the staff of the intensive care unit and members of the code blue team that responds when a patient has a cardiac arrest..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/h...

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each).

Probably a bigger issue than most people realize. ‘Department of Defense ordered NPR and other news organizations to give up their offices at the Pentagon. Breitbart News will occupy NPR’s space.’ www.seattletimes.com/opinion/npr-...

Are your parents in elder care housing? You may need to find new space for them soon-many of these folks work as attendants, etc. ca.news.yahoo.com/trump-revoke...

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.

If you beat a Capitol police officer with their own shield in an effort to overturn a free & fair election, you go free, but if you vandalize an electric car, you get 20 years in an infamously brutal El Salvadoran prison.

Trump taking unearned credit, again. Rewriting history. I give this sign hours, not days. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

After Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, then-Attorney General Brad Schimel said the state's new strict voter IDs made the margin of difference for Trump. Now, Schimel is running to join the state supreme court, flip to conservatives, & uphold GOP voting laws: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-20...

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

It won’t make up for the loss of science funding and positions in the US, but other countries would be stupid not to try to lure American scientists to their institutions right now.

Trump's Commerce Secretary went on FOX to tell Americans to buy Tesla stock. Tesla's Elon Musk spent $$ HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS to get Trump elected. Has corruption EVER been this blatant in American history?

Demented. Completely

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Thanks for the shoutout! "The story drew on private recordings of a series of speeches given in 2023 and 2024 by Russell Vought obtained by our colleagues at Documented, a news site with a remarkable knack for uncovering information powerful interests would prefer remained secret."

The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

2 team members at my tech company laid off out of blue today. I’m exhausted from the stress, supporting them through sobbing, recommending stuff to take w (kudos, etc), help to search for new roles. I can’t imagine the scale this is playing out in federal workforce. People must be utterly mental

Newsrooms everywhere are busting out rules to measure just how much we're inching toward a constitutional crisis
