Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Trump White House Lashes Out At Senator Who Visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia In El Salvador "GRANDSTANDER!!!" the president wrote on social media. He later smeared the Maryland immigrant's character, as well.

Mr. Trump—I’ve known Chris Van Hollen since the last century, and the last thing anyone who knows him would call him is a grandstander. He’s a defender of human rights. You should meet with him—you could learn something.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.

So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

Why AI won’t replace scientists capable of making disruptive conceptual breakthroughs - they pose questions that challenge, rather than align with, the training data set

Justice Department resists judge's demand for more details on deportation flights signaling legal showdown It’s the latest development in a showdown between the Trump administration and the judge who temporarily blocked deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration.

The Justice Department is resisting a federal judge’s demand for more information about flights that took deportees to El Salvador, arguing that the court should end its “continued intrusions” into the authority of the executive branch.

RFK Jr. suggests the bird flu should be allowed to spread unchecked to identify birds that could be immune.

Put American innovation first by funding the NSF and NIH The Trump administration is risking Americans' health and safety by cutting science and research funding.

Trump’s new economic constraints on the NSF and NIH deliver another self-inflicted wound to American progress—derailing decades of biological and biomedical research. Doctoral candidates nationwide are already feeling the sting.

Email sent to FDA staff informs that agency leadership canceled the agency's LexisNexis subscription, even though staff need this tool to research legal and regulatory information as part of their jobs.

Fired workers are reinstated at NOAA, creating confusion on the heels of severe storms The agency had already halted several services because of staffing issues following the cuts, including some weather balloon launches. It is not clear whether those will resume.

More than 600 NOAA workers were laid off. This week, federal government reinstated some of them, but they were placed on administrative leave and have not been asked to return to work.
No one seems to know what this means - and how it will affect services in wake of severe storms nbcnews.to/4iE0WGj

Musk’s Purges Suddenly Take a Horrific Turn—and Wreck an Ugly MAGA Lie We can now be depressingly confident that their mass cuts are killing people.
