Massive cuts to NIH will wreak havoc on UCSD and institutions all over the country. Our regional economy will suffer. Listen to UCSD researcher Srividya explain the real cost of these cuts, and help us spread the word. 🚨

This is where the current administration is taking us. Democrats must be the opposition party, not just resistors. The old rule book no longer applies. The Republicans have set the book on fire. We deserve better. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUERESISTS #DemVoice1 ##ProudBlue

The American security apparatus is least limited by law at the border, and so this is where the attack on fundamental freedoms begins.

Non-US citizens whose livelihood depends on access to the US should be cautious. Everyone else should be furious.

One of the most difficult parts of this is many people don’t know, understand, or care this is happening.
If the executive (president or prime minister) doesn’t obey rule of law and ignores court orders, the country stops being a democracy. It’s not a difficult call. And the US is very, very quickly heading that direction, if Trump’s behavior continues unconstrained.

Seems like something an opposition party would point out.

If only we had one.
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

How much of American taxpayer money just exploded?

Second one too.

Can someone ask Leon how much money just went up in smoke?
There’s a dollar, there’s $100, there’s a five, that’s gotta be a bag of cash right there, there’s a couple of 20s…

Republicans should be ashamed of themselves and their leadership.

We Democrats, stand behind the beautiful people of Ukraine and their incredible President Zelenskyy.

One day, we will have a leader like him. She will be wonderful! 💙🙏

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I am all for negotiations to bring peace in Ukraine. But the Ukrainians should be at the table and Trump should not be making unilateral concessions before the talks begin.

We and our NATO allies must stand with Ukraine — not engage in extortion.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.
