The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

In 2025, the US National Institutes of Health terminated some 2,291 active research grants, withdrawing $2.45 billion in funding. A study finds that these cancellations disproportionately affected women investigators and early-career researchers. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/4Iwm50YAFoF

Americans love blaming any increase in gas prices on the president, and it’s usually not the president’s fault—because no one controls gas prices—but this time the increase in gas prices really is the president’s fault, directly caused by his entirely unnecessary policy choice.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Point out the hypocrisy of Jan 6th when you can in the media! They pardoned all the armed "patriots" protesting to try and overthrow our own government and now are trying to slander a peaceful civilian they killed on the street

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Why aren't these news anchors calling out the administration's hypocrisy? Every single one of them should be following up their white washing with "Does that mean you believe the Jan 6th protestors should have been shot?"

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.

Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

Israel Tells Doctors Without Borders to End Its Work in Gaza

Israel is forcing Doctors Without Borders & dozens of other humanitarian groups to end their work in Gaza. Countless innocent people rely on these services amid the ongoing crisis there.

This is yet another cruel, inhumane step from the extremist Israeli government.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

LOL "Bari killed this meticulous story because it was unfavorable to the Trump administration" is literally the story they're giving to their stenographer

kind of amazing every person in the world treats trump like a literal baby

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Dear NIH Peer Reviewer, You are receiving this email because you are listed on an NIH peer-review meeting roster scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. As you surely know, NIH has not been appropriated funds with which to operate. SROs cannot work, cannot prepare for meetings, respond to your emails, etc. However, the NIH computer systems that support review functions are still available to reviewers (though without technical support) and we ask that you continue your preparations for upcoming review meetings as best you can. If it becomes clear that your meeting must be postponed, you will receive an email to that effect. Please do not join any meeting if it is scheduled to start on a day when the government is shutdown. After funding is appropriated and NIH operations resume, we will be in touch. CSR will make every effort to review all applications originally slated to be reviewed this round. Thank you for your contributions to the NIH peer review process. Regards,

For those who are wondering about grant proposal reviews in the USA
