Cool!

At any given time, criminology experts estimate there are about 50 active but as yet unknown serial killers operating in the U.S. at any given time.

At least one has been definitively identified!
The Trump administration is ending multiple HIV vaccine studies, and the NIH has been instructed not to issue any more HIV vaccine research funding in the next fiscal year, with few exceptions.

People will die.
Trump administration ending multiple HIV vaccine studies, scientists and officials say
"This is a setback of probably a decade for HIV vaccine research," one scientist said.

puking at how utterly unjust this big shitty bill is.
“You see, Billy, your mom died because she couldn’t go to work during chemo and Republicans cut off her Medicaid before her cancer was cured. But Peter Thiel has a shiny new tax-free contract to mine your personal data, so that’s good.”

When he was 15, my grandpa came to America in search of a better life. He became a citizen at 50—it was the proudest day of his life.

Would he even be welcome today under Stephen Miller’s policies of anti-immigrant hate and fear?

Let’s not forget what made America great in the first place.

At a time when the Trump Administration is divesting from Black and underserved communities, in Maryland, we’re proving there’s a better way:

💰 We secured $1.3 billion for HBCUs, an increase of nearly 60%

🤝 We delivered more than $800 million in state contracts to Black-owned businesses

Boasberg:

"Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action."

An unassailable point.

The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.
Significant ruling by Judge Boasberg for men sent to CECOT prison.

"The Government must facilitate the Class’s ability to seek habeas relief to contest their removal under the Act."

Important moment for the rule of law and against government lawlessness.
