Russell Vought announced that the National Science Foundation will “break up” the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado calling it a source of “climate alarmism” and saying its work should be dismantled and redistributed.

Firing upon a shipwreck is a textbook example of an illegal order that shouldn't be followed — one straight out of our military's own Law of War Manual.
But with Pete Hegseth's alleged order to 'kill them all,’ Donald Trump's unconstitutional strikes near Venezuela are now potentially a war crime.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them.
Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded.

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine
A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Elon moves $133 million in crypto from SpaceX, and Trump accepts a $130 million donation. Hmmm… is Elon buying his spot back? Probably just an odd coincidence.

To whom will the US military now owe a favor for this anonymous "donation" to pay them? This isn't harmless benevolence, its quid pro quo. And Trump will make sure that when that favor comes due that "his" troops do whatever this entity wants to demonstrate the proper gratitude and fealty.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Q: Are you going to send federal troops and the National Guard to San Francisco?
Trump: "We're going to go to San Francisco...We're going to go to San Francisco and we're going to make it great...Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act."

Regional leaders — from mayors to governors — are uniquely able to turn ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis into reality at the local level.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Photos from No Kings 2.0 in North County San Diego. We exercised our right to peacefully protest against Trump’s disastrous policies. ~75-80% of passerbys were supportive of the No Kings protest and pro-democracy. Trump’s popularity has plummeted. Fun to spend the day with friends 🇺🇸✊ 🇺🇸
