Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
For four Venezuelan friends, Alien Enemies Act cuts short an American dream
President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members. Relatives of men sent to El Salvador deny the allegation.

I know I say this a lot, but I hope we are done—finally done—with accepting the GOP’s efforts to equate its “tough on crime” stance as meaning it actually want to ensure that laws are obeyed.
It’s about social control—enforcement as a means of regulating disliked out groups.

here's video of AG Pam Bondi claiming on Fox last night that the Trump administration "absolutely" will keep doing deportation flights even in the face of court orders telling them to stop

I have no doubt that a result of Trump’s illegal firings today will be higher prices for American consumers because the FTC cop is now off the beat.

More of Trump’s descent into dictatorship
Two illegal firings that will increase prices for consumers and concentrate more power in Trump’s hands — unless the courts stop him.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Trump has outsourced every single federal agency and department to Elon Musk and the doge bros. Think about that. And, now, they are turning over the Air Traffic Control System over to Musk’s Starlink. We have a one-man oligarchy.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work.
This is a coup against the American people.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Face it, Trump could have said “30 days notice starting now. IGs fired” and it would have been perfectly legal and made 1 month difference in a 48 month term. He didn’t because breaking the law was the point, to demonstrate that the laws don’t apply to him and daring anyone to try to stop him.
