Trump’s trade war won’t just cripple domestic markets—it will slow global gross domestic product growth to its lowest point in 17 years. https://trib.al/ZoUo6ID

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

As the U.S. government slashes support to research institutions and threatens universities like Harvard and Columbia with the freezing of federal funds, European leaders hope to benefit from what they are calling a U.S. "error" and a "gigantic miscalculation."

This is what not giving up looks like.

Holy shit. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has halted the awarding of previously approved proposals to ensure compliance with presidential directives following the arrival of DOGE at the science funding agency.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

A US judge blocked President Donald Trump's administration from freezing billions of dollars in grants Congress authorized under climate investment and infrastructure laws of his Democratic predecessor, former President Joe Biden reut.rs/4iBoxqF

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

It's going to be his financial Covid. Only totally self-inflected and it will take longer to recover from.

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

This is what breaks my heart. These young people who are so eager and full of promise and who are the next generation of Nobel Prize winners, scientists inventors, teachers. #Trump and #Musk have destroyed it all. www.wired.com/story/the-ch...

HHS's Office of Long COVID Research and Practice has been DOGEd. Closing this week.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

While Supreme Court's John Roberts and Donald Trump often converge on legal goals, sharp divergences are emerging, a constitutional law expert says, and through the president's executive orders flurry, he's 'proceeding as if legal constraints don't matter' reut.rs/4c8wX7j

What is a phrase you never hear about fossil fuels? "As demand soars and prices keep falling..." #battchat One more reason storage is the fossil fuel killer.

VOA (Voice of America) was set up during WWII to counter Nazi propaganda and is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Trump is closing it down accusing it of being ‘anti-Trump’ and ‘radical’. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

Universities need to stand up for their interests and be vocal collectively to defend free speech and independent inquiry. Trying to lay low and hide is not going to work.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Be someone's angel for Lent. Give up your extra resources and give them all to one vulnerable person under the DOGE gun. Give that up for Lent.

Wanted to give shout-out to NOAA. But their website is down. Is anybody working there tonight? All I wanted to do was thank them for guiding me to be safe during three tornado outbreaks, a crushing ice storm, and numerous winter freezing and blizzard advisories. Where I can send thank-you? #NOAA

Proud to #beumc today…these are the words of the united Methodist Church bishop who oversees Ukraine. #slavaukraini

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

My response to folks on Facebook who don't want to see politics on that platform any more.

The USA: hold my beer

⚡️ Polish PM Tusk says Ukraine 'not alone' after Trump-Zelensky clash. "Dear Volodymyr Zelensky, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump's clash on Feb. 28.

⚡️ 'There is an aggressor, which is Russia,' says Macron after Zelensky-Trump clash. "There is an aggressor, which is Russia, and an attacked people, which is Ukraine," French President Emmanuel Macron said after President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump's clash at the White House.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

WE STAND WITH UKRAINE!

Abusive husband to wife: It's your fault that I hit you. Apologize to me. #Ukraine #Zelenskyy

We need the Trump voters to come join us at Leaving MAGA!

Though not the biggest fan of Occupy Democrats, they had given me the opportunity to publish my mea culpa that I was leaving MAGA, & acknowledging my mistake of supporting MAGA, Trump and my governor, Ron DeSantis. I never thought anyone would care that I left MAGA. web.archive.org/web/20220830...
