Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.

MAGA gamesmanship and judicial forum-shopping were instrumental in frustrating various Biden initiatives. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it seems quite possible that the Court will depower judicial opposition in the service of conservative policy.
Don’t Fall for Trump’s Crocodile Tears Over ‘Judicial Tyranny’
During the Biden administration, MAGA loved that individual judges could halt the rollout of federal policy nationwide. They aren’t loving it now.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen.
It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.”
But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots.
