Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

Mr. Springsteen
@brucespringsteen.net, during his “Hope & Dreams” Tour launch in the UK last night:

“The America I know—is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”

His words are painful to hear but filled with undeniable truth.

“We’ll survive this moment.”

MAGA doesn't build. It doesn't build infrastructure or science. It doesn't let the private sector build factories, housing, or energy. It doesn't build new culture or civic institutions. All it does is attack things that Trump doesn't like.

Instead of a "Fourth Turning", we got a backward-looking, destructive regime.

Hakeem Jeffries and Cory Booker led a sit-in at the US Capitol to protest the GOP’s proposed budget, which includes cuts to programs like childcare, healthcare, and housing. They oppose the plan’s efforts to reduce Medicaid and food assistance while giving tax breaks to the wealthy.

We are livid and deeply heartbroken by the actions taken by this administration in detaining and deporting a U.S. citizen child who is battling cancer. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, a profound moral failure, and a cruel betrayal of the values America claims to stand for.

"If tariffs drive up the cost of a piece of home medical gear, and if states don’t agree to quickly negotiate, people under Medicaid could be sent fewer supplies in a period, or may face greater co-pays."

Our access to care is being attacked from every angle.
