A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..."

Why is Trump’s Commerce secretary urging the public to buy Tesla stock?
Howard Lutnick told a national television audience to buy a specific stock tied to the sitting president’s top campaign donor.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Our elected leaders have a responsibility to listen and to be responsive to the public's needs, questions, and concerns. But more often than not, it seems, they're not showing up. What are you seeing from your state senators and representatives? How can our state and federal officeholders do better?
South Dakota’s public servants should spend more time with the public • South Dakota Searchlight
Every South Dakotan should be concerned. Who are these elected public servants serving? The voters hire them, and we can fire them.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.

Marjorie Taylor Greene went all in on Tesla stock—then pushed the FBI to crack down on protests that could hurt its value.
She bought shares after Musk backed Trump.
Five of her trades came after Musk got a government role.
House rules ban using power for personal profit.
Blatant corruption.

"Opposing Fascism Is a Jewish Tradition"--JWP at Trump Tower today.
BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”
The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.
