International students will stop coming to American universities if their visas are going to be at risk. This will make our intellectual community poorer and also make tuition more expensive for domestic students.

Congratulations!

Senate GOP approves framework for Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts after all-night session The Senate plugged away overnight and into early Saturday morning to approve their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks and spending cuts framework.

NYT home page: more prominent coverage for "7 Americans React to Sweeping Tariffs" and "A Sticky Miso Salmon Bowl for Busy Weeknights" than for "Anti-Trump Protests in All 50 States"

If "protests in all 50 states" wanted above-the-fold coverage in @nytimes.com, they should have been "seven random Americans" instead

If you or someone you know has been negatively affected by NIH-funded clinical trials being paused, disrupted, cancelled etc., I have a contact with the Senate HELP Committee eager to collect stories of everyday Americans affected by the NIH closures. Please DM me.

Hakeem Jeffries threatens lawsuit over delayed Texas special election One month after Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner's death, Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has yet to call a special election to fill his seat.

Princeton, Tufts, U Mich, Georgetown - some better responses starting to circulate

Every day cabinet members and GOP leaders are missing a chance to have their great-grandchildren read their names in history books.

They could simply say that the mad emperor has no clothes and walk away from a disaster, live on air.

Everyone needs to call up their Republican members of Congress today & ask them why they’re raising taxes on their own constituents. Make them own this because they do.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.
