Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing
Especially any veterans?
Shame on all those who stay silent

These machines save lives, including my husband's. Basic science is a necessity.
Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Given this and Trump's past comments about groceries (he calls the term "old-fashioned"), there is a legitimate, I'm-just-asking-this-as-a-factual-inquiry-purely-based-on-the-president's-own-rhetoric question to be asked:
Does President of the United States know what getting groceries, like…is?
Does President of the United States know what getting groceries, like…is?
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It now appears the Trump administration is going to require government scientists to allow political apparatchiks to review and vet scientific papers before publication to ensure ideological purity. This is gross abuse of the scientific process.

Great segment about how this administration is fucking over universities and scientific research.
This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.
