“I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him after he leaves office — after taxpayers spend $1 BILLION to retrofit it. Every Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.“

Rachel Maddow on Donald Trump stealing $1B from a nuclear weapon safety program to renovate his fancy new bribe plane from Qatar: “Everywhere all over the world these guys are all the same. And they all want gold toilets. They all want to rob the country they lead blind.”

Always listen when Black women sound the alarm.

Reps LaMonica McIver & Bonnie Coleman are telling the truth: if ICE can target members of Congress and arrest the Mayor of Newark, no one is safe.

This is state-sponsored terror—and we won’t be silent.
Time for a general strike!

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Arlington National Cemetary SCRUBBED THE CIVIL WAR?!?

SCRUBBED THE STORIES OF THE SOLDIERS BURIED THERE BECAUSE THEY AREN’T WHITE MEN?!?!?

What The FUCK?!?
ICYMI:

“Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website”…in order “to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.”
Arlington Cemetery website scrubs links about Black and female veterans
Pentagon leaders have ordered that their websites and social media pages remove articles and images that “promote” DEI.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
