The first day of the shutdown, VP Vance tried to claim it’s all the fault of Democrats for wanting to give free health care to undocumented migrants.

In reality, Dems are fighting to reverse Trump’s Medicaid cuts and extend Affordable Care Act tax subsidies set to expire in 2026. trib.al/oWWiyfi

Hello! How are you really doing? Me? I’m not ok, and I’m not part the most vulnerable group. But, I am. I’m trying to pretend everything is alright by showing up to work. Yet, nothing is normal. I am stuck in this dystopian world with very little hope or none at all it depends on the day.

Dear Democrats:

People fucking hate bullies and bigots. Defend the most vulnerable with all your strength and win some damn elections for a change.
RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing.

Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign.

Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

It is 1:00 am, and we are just getting to the Medicaid provisions.  

They are trying to take health insurance away from 13.7 million Americans in the dead of night.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy.

No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.

The scientific news from America is grim. The Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) has resigned and hundreds of existing grants are ending. NSF grant money isn't paid out in a chunk at the start - you invoice as you need it, so gov can just stop paying.

Our great pleasure. If we can inform people about what’s happening at NIH and what the political agendas are behind attacks on science, we are achieving our goals.
