The American tourism industry is going to get absolutely smoked
Two young German travelers expected their Hawaii trip to be a highlight. Instead, their visit ended in handcuffs, jail time, and deportation — a stark reminder of the risks some international visitors face at US borders.

Abbott’s wife is on the board of directors of a new private school in Dripping Springs. The tennis coordinator was sentenced to prison in 2020 as an individual in the college admissions scandal. Abbott pushing vouchers that he admits will defund our public schools is infuriating! #TxLege #DemCast 🧵

This will be catastrophic for progress in treatments.
ALERT–The federal freeze on funds & communication poses a serious threat: "If NIH-funded research grinds to a halt, long-awaited treatments for everything from cancer to diabetes—and whatever infectious disease might spark the next pandemic—could be delayed for years"

Researchers are terrified of Trump’s freeze on science. The rest of us should be, too.
Government support is essential to science. The Trump administration kneecapped it.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Look for your state and see how much money/jobs it will lose.
This is going to do a lot of damage to #Ohio Hospitals, Universities, and research facilities... Two hospitals in Cincinnati alone.

Is this what you voted for Ohio? Just devastating.

This is beyond belief.
Why not turn off all 911 systems too while you're at it?

That way you guyz could kill off the population faster. Since that is obviously the goal!
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

The failed war on drugs has ruined lives, broken up families and decimated communities.

Everyday Americans have been aggressively prosecuted, convicted and sentenced for nonviolent offenses.

Thank you President Biden for commuting thousands of these sentences.
