Don’t let Trump distract you from the fact that his teen DOGE hackers accidentally fired the people in charge of our nukes because they have *no clue* what they’re doing. Incompetence of the highest order.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

NEW: The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research.

#Project2025 called for the cuts to end subsidies to "leftist" university agendas.

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.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.
I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

We aren’t even obsessing over the fact that Elon is currently lobbying the president to send US citizens to an El Salvadoran supermax prison in exchange for bitcoin payments!

It’s not even in the top ten!

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.
What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Not much media attention was paid to the Burgum nomination but @propublica.org and @northdakotamonitor.com recently looked at how the former governor had repeatedly sued the department he will now lead, trying to undermine federal regulations.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Donald Trump is going to be “ending funding for public schools” if they teach CRT or “other divisive measures.”

It’s almost like we warned them that Donald Trump was a total fascist who wants to erase and rewrite history.

When the US ruling class says that something poses a threat to the "American way of life", what they actually mean is it poses a threat to the interests of US capital accumulation.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has
1) ended cancer research
2) pulled us out of the WHO
3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC
4) raised prescription prices previously capped
5) out of Paris Climate Accords again
6) FDA and HHS gone Dark
