Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you will never get another chance to have a backbone after this pathetic capitulation, and I hope to all that is good that you’re primaried (brutally) for this cowardice. Shame.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Put another way, Medicaid contributes roughly as much to Detroit's economy than car manufacturing, more to Houston than the chemical industry, almost twice as much to Los Angeles as motion picture production--these are big numbers!

Trump administration’s MAHA report on children’s health filled with flawed references, including some studies that don’t exist | CNN The first report from the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, released last week, appears to be rife with errors, including some studies that don’t exist.

I have often warned colleagues/students about the fact that LLM like ChatGPT just make up non-existent references (or inappropriately reference real work) so it’s nice to have a concrete example of how embarrassing it can be if you don’t take the time to check!

Government word search is killing my cutting-edge research The Trump administration seems to believe that some words and ideas fail an ill-posed and completely nonscientific test of orthodoxy.

"Now, that path to a scientific career is in tatters. If the NIH continues to stall, reject, and terminate grants, we are in danger of losing an entire generation of scientists and the life-changing discoveries they would have made."
