Remembering when a coworker laughed at me and a few other women who were talking about having been at the first DC Women's March. He thought it was hilarious how we were overreacting.

“The federal government used to prioritize domestic terrorism, and now it’s like domestic terrorism just went away overnight,” Michigan AG Dana Nessel said. “I don’t think that we’re going to get much in the way of cooperation anymore.” By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

"2024 Presidential and Senate Results Called Into Question as Lawsuit Advances" Our lawsuit challenging the 2024 presidential & U.S. Senate election results in Rockland County NY is moving forward to the discovery phase. The press release ran on the AP wires yesterday apnews.com/press-releas...

The Trump administration’s billion-dollar cuts to the National Institutes of Health include a $2.7 billion blow to the National Cancer Institute slashing more than a third of its funding. “For the past 50 years, every significant medical breakthrough, especially in the treatment of cancer,

The private sector will not fill the gaps. The size of the cuts is too big, and the incentives does not align to do basic research or train the next generation of PhD students. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/are-univer...

As Dean says, it was Biden’s idea.

Shoutout to USFS R&D 💚 World’s largest forestry R&D studying topics that tie in to our public lands, forests, and trees nationwide. And yes, Chief Shultz, markets, timber products, economics, wildfire, recreation… our scientists study it all.

We’re sure many of you have heard about the growing controversy in Oklahoma, where parents are pushing back against a new curriculum quietly pushed through by the state’s superintendent.

I have questions about Musk’s departure from DOGE, and we don’t really have good answers. Sometimes, it’s important to just put down the markers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A junkie unmoored from reality destroyed our govt: "The drug has psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain...Mr. Musk told people that his ketamine use was causing bladder issues" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

The Pentagon is pulling $1B from Army barracks—money meant to fix mold, broken plumbing, and dangerous living conditions. Trump says he “has their back,” but he’s gutting Troop housing to fund his border surge. Talk is cheap. This is who he really is. MORE: www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Oklahoma Republicans installed a new social studies curriculum that will require all of the state's public school students to be taught conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. So a group of parents is using a law passed by Oklahoma Republicans in 2024 to opt their kids out.

The National Weather Service warned of “dangerously hot conditions” from Friday through Sunday in parts of the Western U.S., with the worst of the heat centered over California before shifting east to Nevada and Utah. nyti.ms/43KNUAW

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that 14 states can proceed with a lawsuit that accuses Elon Musk and DOGE of illegally accessing government data systems, canceling government contracts, and firing federal employees.

When you willingly vote for a treasonous rapist criminal to take totalitarian control of the entire US govt, you should expect tons of chaos, cruelty, hate, greed and crimes.

Today in Central Planning: 🇺🇸 $AAPL

On MSNBC, Max Rose says cutting Medicaid isn't just about healthcare—it threatens hospital jobs, services for the disabled, and betrays nearly 1M veterans. Trump voters didn't want this, yet the Republican #VAGov candidate stays silent while @abigailspanberger.com supports veterans.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

As lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.

If Trump suspends habeas corpus, he could detain political opponents, activists, protesters, journalists, and even disloyal Republicans indefinitely without charges or trial. Any action could be framed as insurrection to justify mass arrests. Pay attention. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

A Georgia teenager who was detained by federal deportation officers has been released from custody on Thursday, according to a CBS News report.

BREAKING: 1AM isn’t an accident. Rep. Jim McGovern sees through it. This is the GOP pulling the plug on Medicaid, cutting off food assistance, and abandoning rural hospitals—while praying the public is asleep. It’s not a hearing. It’s a hit job.

“.. ‘We need to do some rewriting” and more analytic work “so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS,’ Joe Kent, the chief of staff to Ms. Gabbard, wrote in an email to a group of intelligence officials on April 3 ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

Is ripping health care away from 13 million Americans not exciting enough to stay awake, Rep. Norman?

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for 8,000 surviving chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days. Another 4,000 of the animals died.
