Things still terrible, but: Viktor Orban was unable to stop protests in Budapest; Musk's money couldn't win the Wisconsin Supreme Court for Repugs; Marine Lepen is fuming over her court loss in Paris; and Corey Booker made a bravura stand against Trump in the Senate. More days like this please.

NEW: The Trump administration's termination of a sensitive program tracking the mass abduction of Ukrainian children may have compromised the database, rendering it inadmissible in court, U.S. lawmakers tell me
Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children
Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Deep Cuts to Medical Research Funds Could Hobble University Budgets
Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. Proposed funding cuts would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

The Swedish authorities on Monday boarded a ship in connection with what they described as "gross sabotage" after an undersea communications cable in the Baltic Sea was damaged a day earlier. The ship was escorted to the coast of Sweden for an investigation.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.
In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.
Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

Elon Musk is a national security contractor who ADMITTED TO A BIOGRAPHER that he purposefully sabotaged a military operation for an ally at war by shutting off a service the US government paid him to provide.
I am actually not positive how many members of Congress know that for all their response.

Just want to reiterate that the richest man in the world has massive contracts with the federal government and is a major spreader of disinformation that affects politics and the Senate under Democrats never held a single hearing on this.

There have been 5 articles in @nytimes.com recently on University of Michigan DEI quoting a few unhappy people.
In just 6 days the DEI office collected 1,000 testimonials from individuals impacted positively.
It should be required reading.
Too bad that perspective won’t be published.

Stuck on the phone for 5 hours so far today fighting CVS Caremark because they randomly decided to kick me off my prescription plan and now I can't get the medication I need to stay alive. These companies are evil and I can't even type what I really want to say about them.

From my friend Ashley Mack:
35 states have a state constitutional amendment or statutes prohibiting same-sex marriage.
Chances are your state has a ban. SCOTUS justices as well as members of Trump’s incoming admin have suggested same-sex marriage should be a state issue.
Local elections matter!

How can universities resist-refuse MAGA’s attack?
1. Keep accreditation systems out of federal control.
2. State-private-coalitions that replace the Pell system.
3. Support academic freedom of scholars (1A academic speech and critique of government must be protected at all costs).
