Congress has pushed back the Senate Appropriations Committee held funding steady, and the House proposed only a 23% cut instead of 57%. But the damage from canceled grants and leadership chaos is already being felt at universities across the country.
The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.
I'm sure that will make everything better. 🙄 (Sarcasm font)
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
End Vouchers Now.
Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
Trump didn’t “think it was a doctor helping someone.”
The image was clearly meant to depict Trump as a Christ-like figure.
And even worse: Graham isn’t just defending it, he’s laundering it.
This is what moral collapse looks like.👇
If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.
Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience
"We are mostly concerned about the consequences of the disruption on fertilizers," says Jorge Moreira da Silva. "If we miss the planting season, the farmers, particularly in Africa, won't have productivity. The prices will go up and hunger and starvation will be spread." https://to.pbs.org/4tKU0wq
Looks like they're serving leftovers from the detention centers.
Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s cowardice is in a dead heat with his atrocious negotiation skills.
The US is in a significantly worse position today than when this illegal war was launched by Trump on February 28th.
He blinked. Plain and simple.
He's not wrong.
Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%.
Most of the rest if hydro.
Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources.

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
The President of the United States is a madman.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!
The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.
