Listen to this man! He knows what he is talking about.

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The Trump Administration’s goal is simple: flood the zone with as much information as possible. Don’t let them distract you. Spread the word. Hold them accountable.

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

👀 "If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.

These are very big guns in the scheme of things in DOJ. A cascading scandal that is NOT GOING AWAY.

Stunning letter from acting head of the SDNY Danielle Sassoon, replete with claim that the DOJ was trying to avoid any written records. Now that’s acting with high integrity. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

And it's a cascading scandal. Three very senior officials already have resigned--in the Sat Night Massacre, the 3rd, Robert Bork, complied with the offensive order. Here not just Sassoon but the acting heads of Public Integrity and Criminal Division--big big jobs--have resigned.No-one has yet agreed

My brother, after 30+ years in international development, was let go this week because the projects he worked on were primarily funded by USAID. The good work he was doing all over the world has abruptly stopped. People will suffer and our country is less safe.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

USAID was created by an Act of Congress in 1961; it cannot legitimately be dissolved by presidential edict. Ofc how long this period of misrule will last is anyone’s guess.

Trump, who has claimed undocumented immigrants are fueling a crime wave in America, has begun his mass deportations. One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals. Know the truth.

I would rather live next to an undocumented immigrant than a freed January 6 traitor any day of the week.
