This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

This is Courtney’s stern face. It says “Mom, I’m not joking. Give me pizza”. Mitzi is providing back up and emotional support, she says “Mom, just give us the pizza. It’ll be easier for everyone if you just listen to her and give us the pizza.”

Sometimes I wonder if the thought is “We’ll I’m already really old so any advancements to human kind won’t benefit me much at all so screw everyone else, including my own kids and grandkids”
US President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2026 calls for unprecedented cuts to scientific agencies that, if enacted, would deal a devastating blow to US science, policy specialists say.

Trump proposes unprecedented budget cuts to US science
Huge reductions, if enacted, could have ‘catastrophic’ effects on US competitiveness and the scientific pipeline, critics say.

A study in Scientific Reports shows that the dog-human relationship exhibits characteristics of both child and best friend relationships, combining the positive aspects of the parent-child bond with the minimal negative interactions of close friendships. go.nature.com/4cJtdcs 🧪

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

What is the point of posts like this? You really do think we have goldfish memories don’t you? You already let it happen dum dum.
Medicaid cuts being pushed by congressional Republicans would rip away health care access and coverage to seniors, children, veterans, and people with disabilities.
Why? To pay for their billionaire buddies’ tax breaks. @democrats.senate.gov won’t let this happen.

What does one need to do to run for senate? I think @durbin.senate.gov probably has a comfy chair in his office I might like.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

This is so disturbing.
Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law.
America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws.
The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution.
No one is above the law.
