Having to go on 60 Minutes to defend the concept of public funding for scientific research is WILD.
Publicly-funded science has been THE most successful thing produced in the US for 50+ years.
Like, what next: are we going to have to go on television to plead for the value of literacy & numeracy?

If this was a relative, you'd be looking for a mental health facility today.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Some are calling this a win:
The Senate’s "compromise" deal undoes illegal federal layoffs and pays back wages.
Hold your applause—it’s just ORDERING Congress to comply with the law.

After some states began issuing SNAP benefits over the weekend the trump administration is now demanding that states "undo" the benefits issued & to stop issuing SNAP to those still waiting who need SNAP to not go hungry.
Starving Americans is the top priority of this administration.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.
In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

Dr. Oz from the Oval Office: Claims cheaper GLP-1s will make Americans lose 135 BILLION lbs by the midterms.
That’s roughly 400 lbs per adult. 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe they included estimated weight loss from families losing SNAP benefits. 🤔

Anyone see a pattern to ACA healthcare premiums when Trump is in office? We're rightly focused on the current average increase for 2026 at a whopping 30% but he did the same thing in his first term.
Oh, still waiting on $2 gas as well. And lower food prices.

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
