After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech.
“This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

Judge Young rules that the NIH grant terminations at issue in these cases are illegal and therefore vacated. BOOM!

Trump is fixating on Harvard because they represent a community that he could never be a part of based upon merit.
This is at the core of every malignant narcissist's pathology, deep insecurity and a bottomless craving for acceptance and legitimacy.

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

To be clear: the Trump administration is trying to send migrants to Libya specifically *because* of their gross human rights record - not in spite of it.
They want people to be afraid to come here, so they’re sending them to the worst places they can find.
