It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

This was a very revealing, calculated meeting designed to characterize Zelensky/Ukraine as "deserving" of the "punishment" of an unfair deal that Trump/Vance are angling to give Putin.

I have worked with many untenured staff scientists & PIs at NIH. They are incredible colleagues who chose science in public service over more lucrative careers. Devaluing their commitment & professionalism is among the most cruel aspects of the DOGE purge

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

I know very little about it but it seems to me that in the coming days The Supreme Court Justices are going to have to decide whether they are custodians of the constitution or accessories after the fact.

On 7 April 1933, the German government issued the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which excluded Jews and other political opponents of the Nazis from all civil service positions. One provision aimed to remove personnel deemed unreliable due to their political beliefs.
The idea that Elon Musk & his minions have access to the private, & very sensitive, information of more than 2 million federal employees is very disconcerting & enraging.
With that information, they can access people’s entire life—political affiliation, financial situation, health, you name it.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

Trump team is sabotaging our government. OMB nominee Russell Vought has said he wants to put career civil servants “in trauma,” so that when “they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Why? Privatize and monetize!
The Senate should reject Russell Vought’s nomination to be Director at OMB - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Russell Vought should not be confirmed as Director at OMB since he was a central figure in attempting to implement Schedule F.

Thank you to Josh Allen and the entire Buffalo Bills team for the season. A couple of calls could've gone the other way in the AFC Championship game, but they also missed a couple needed plays. In the end, they overcame low expectations and gave us all something to hope for. Thank you.
