NIH scientist Dr. Jenna Norton was just placed on nondisciplinary leave.
She led a team who wrote a sign-on letter critical of The Regime.
A person at NIH asked to give a reason for her leave called her “radical leftist”; while the NIH Director has claimed that “dissent is productive”.

There is a thought experiment game called the finger game. Two people put a finger in each other's mouth and bite down. If you cry out in pain they can remove their finger from your mouth but can keep on biting. The Democrats just cried out in pain.

I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry.
Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month.
This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile meeting on Friday, warning Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree.
The meeting between the two descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time.”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.
