Hearing that the IC directors and SDs at NIH were told last night that a new round of DOGE contract cuts are coming. Control, co-opt, destroy. That’s the plan for #NIH and US science and medical cures from Trump.

It took more than a month for Trump to hold anyone accountable for the Signalgate fiasco. Next up should be Pete Hegseth.

Good to know the earthquake alert works here in SoCal. I got one and 15 secs later, little roll went by. But I’m far from the epicenter. 5.1.

Very cool!

WOOO HOOOOO! 🙏💪

Trump is a racist, an idiot, and a coward. All of that was in full display at today’s press conference.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Pause for bird. Enjoy the bird. Nature is good, birds are good, regard the bird. Carry on. (photo by me)

Why do I feel like DJT is just bad luck? No matter where he goes???

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Ditto

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Sloppy. We’ve been told they better prepared & well organized for 2.0 but I’m seeing a lot of cracks in the facade and that’s an opportunity for people who love democracy to protect it.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Is it a prerequisite that if you’re going to be in the Trump administration you either have to have an ungodly amount of filler in your face or be some kind of predator?

So they reversed the memo and then sent out this? Chaos.

Power in politics is, as much as anything, the perception of power. And as malevolent as they may be, these incompetent fools in the White House have come out of the gate looking very, very weak.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Just chaos

I work with federal, state, corporate and foundation grants. Let me tell you the whole industry that relies on grants, especially federal grants, is so confused right now!

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov Dems need to FIGHT back hard!! We want you to FIGHT. We voted for you all, and we want you to FIGHT.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

Messaging advice from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social. TLDR: talk about things people depend on being taken away and how this benefits the billionaires, don't talk about spending or a pause or separation of powers.

Love these folks!

Block block block. Every appointment. Every nominee. Every confirmation. Democrats do not give them anything until they stop this freeze. I want 2012 Mitch McConnell levels of obstruction until they give people back their public services.

Passing this on. Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Stay strong and fight this shit.

Trump is essentially carrying out an illegal shutdown of the federal government, putting tens of millions of American lives at risk. Dems in Congress: this is a very easy call. Announce an immediate boycott of all nominations and legislation until federal funding is restored.

What a cluster!!!

The reckless funding freeze by the Trump administration jeopardizes everything from community health centers to cancer research to child care to critical infrastructure projects. It is an unconstitutional power grab that puts lives and livelihoods at risk.

If you’re a democratic lawmaker you need to be on camera in your office telling specific stories you’ve heard from your constituents about this freeze right now. My DM’s are open to any office that needs assistance or aid in editing or filming guidance.
