Because of Donald Trump & JD Vance, $289 million in federal education research funding may go unspent, with special education studies potentially taking an 85% hit.

The Trump family turned the right's "Biden Crime Family" bullshit into a business plan. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
When Ike warned about the Military Industrial Complex he didn’t think it would be in a future Republican president’s own family.
I made a donation to the SPLC today. If someone reading this can (or did) make one and will quote this post, maybe we can get a chain thing going and help this storied group of wonderful people in their hour of need.
New in PN: "Now, as part of the project to undo Reconstruction, the DOJ hopes to take out the SPLC using the very tools it used to defeat the KKK. And along the way, they can exculpate every bigot who ever swung a tiki torch. *Those boys weren’t bad, they were just stirred up by outside agitators!*"
Good thread.
While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon.

There has been a total collapse of trust in anything that comes out of this Pentagon. They have lied freely, frequently and without shame. It means that on serious matters - like civilian casualty disputes or US casualty figures - no-one can trust what they say.
Video footage shows the moments NYPD officers forcefully wrestle Brooklyn Council Member Chi Ossé to the ground and handcuff him on April 22.
I think the top character trait we need in future leaders is humility. Everything else we value flows from that
Dear Americans,
You got two main problems — billionaires and pedophiles. And of course, billionaire pedophiles.
Until you address the billionaire pedophile elephant in the room, nothing will get better.
You deserve leaders willing to exact swift justice on these monsters.
Love,
God
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
So, the guy who thinks that witches have taken over California is now the acting Secretary of the Navy? Super.
Virginia County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley is once again attempting to block the democratically-passed redistricting referendum.
We expect notably passionate Attorney General Jay Jones to succeed in his appeal in front of the Virginia Supreme Court, which previously approved the referendum
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
The company under Nunes never made a dollar of profit, but siphoned off many millions of investor dollars to put in the pockets of himself, the Trump family, and grifters in their orbit. Typical of most Trump business enterprises.
Republicans, you got no one to blame but yourselves. Trump started this fight, he started this whole mid-decade redistricting bullshit. Democrats are simply fighting back. Cry harder Republicans.
Reupping this from last Summer on redistricting.
Sometimes, the message gets through.

A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll conducted April 10-14 finds 55% of U.S. adults say the House should vote to impeach Trump. 37% oppose, and 8% are unsure. A surprising % of both Republicans & Trump’s own 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today.
To everyone in my former political party: Quit whining about losing a fight that YOU started.
Yup.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
I served on a US Navy cruiser with 350 people at close quarters. Flu going to through the ship is as effective as a missile knocking the ship out of action.
Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.
Make sure to vote YES.
You can find your polling location at IWillVote.com/VA.

"I would've won Vietnam very quickly" is as good a psychopath test as any
Maybe this will clear up the apparent yes/no confusion among VA voters!
