Tim Kaine should immediately file a bill to prevent the Department of War from receiving Department of Defense funds.

More RECKLESS, brutal inanity from Trump & Russ Vought:

Washington Post article on STEM cuts at federal agencies. NSF tops it at -42%!

“Between January 2025 and February 2026, STEM and health employees at science-focused agencies saw nearly 15,000 jobs cut. The rate outpaced cuts among other federal workers.”

OPM data - Figure from Wash Post article 19 April. (Where US science has been hit hardest.)

NSF at -42%!

I definitely thought autism because of the literalism and sensory issues.

The U.S. Vaccines for Children program was launched b/c of a massive measles outbreak that started in 1989 and caused more than 11,000 hospitalizations and 123 deaths.

It happened b/c some couldn’t afford vaccines.

RFK Jr.’s organization doesn’t care and neither does he.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Seems like it was open before your orange master began this war…

This mom was trying to feed her baby for two more days.

This is what “budget cuts” actually mean in real life:
•panic
•shame
•hungry children
•desperate parents

They scream about “family values” and then target the one program that literally helps babies and pregnant postpartum women survive.👇

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...

Ah yes, the peaceful Belfast of the 70s... 🙇‍♀️

“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

IMPORTANT: Trump is responsible for Iran now having a large amount of 60% enriched uranium. He pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018, which had been negotiated by Obama. It did not permit 60%. Iran was limited to less than 4%. The IAEA certified Iran was complying. Yet, Trump cancelled it. And here we are

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

Had the same thing happen with a leather reclining sofa. Two thrift stores wouldn't take it because it was "all ripped up." There was one small tear (about 2" long) in the back. I'd seen far worse in their stores.

Stop Interfering with Librarians doing their jobs! Plus, Parents do Yours….

Tennessee librarian fired for refusing to move more than 100 children's books to adult section.

That's a freedom of speech warrior!

RUTHERFORD COUNTY library director LUANNE JAMES 🦸‍♀️ was just fired for refusing to move kids books into the adult section simply because the board doesn’t like what they’re about.

Great game!!! So much fun. Now Detroit needs its own team. #PWHL

I do believe he has profound psychological damage. He has no empathy, is amoral, and his narcissism is off the charts. The only thing that seems to motivate him is revenge. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was diagnosed as a sociopath. 2/2

He may have mild dementia but my 40+ years as an RN working with elderly folks tell me that’s not the major problem w/Trump. Is he stupid? Depends on what you mean, but he sure doesn’t value gaining knowledge and has little patience for what is required to do so. 1/2

Oral vaccine cuts up to 80.6% of E.coli-triggered diarrhoea cases The oral ETEC vaccine will now enter a pivotal Phase III trial across different countries and populations.

This could be a game changer!!

Diarrhea is global health's least sexy challenge, but it remains a top killer of children.

E.coli is present in 98% of water sources in Guatemala, for example, and systematic water purification is incredibly challenging for low-resourced contexts.
