ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

BREAKING: A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of International Trade permanently enjoined President Trump's tariffs (EOs 14193, 14194, 14195, & 14257), finding that they go beyond the authority granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Read the opinion:

Republicans changed the rules, & now practically any action the executive branch takes can be challenged in Congress. Any 30 Senators can bring up a vote, & get a guaranteed 10 hours of floor time. Meaning that Democrats could hold the floor indefinitely, if they wanted. prospect.org/politics/202...

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

#RFKjr style. If you don't hear about it, it never happened.

My life’s wisdom. Inspired by & dedicated to the memory of my father, Cyril DeGrasse Tyson - Civil Rights era sociologist. It's what conflicts & disagreements among us look like when you’re scientifically literate — sprinkled with a dose of Cosmic Perspective. neildegrassetyson.com/books/2022-0...

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

For decades the US has been like Rumspringa for aspiring academics and scientists stuck in authoritarian regimes. They come here, get an education, get a job, live in a free country, and contribute to American science and advancements. Many quite literally become Americans. What loss. What waste.

Can someone just ask in court where or what or whatever is the emergency that they are declaring 🤪 apnews.com/article/trum...

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth. 📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it. ⚠️Read it before they ban it for good: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Jessica: There is an important distinction to be drawn between being accessible and being good or delivering truth… he does these interviews and says I don't know or I'm not sure… He may be in front of you but that doesn’t mean he’s not spewing bs

Hinson: I was proud to vote for President Trump’s one big beautiful bill Crowd: Boooooo

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

🚨SCOOP: Internal data from the US Marshals show just how much threats against federal judges have risen this year. Short answer: A lot. Free gift link >>> www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

I was in Santa Maria to visit Titan Frozen Fruit's impressive new processing facility. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I am committed to ensuring our country continues to have a strong agricultural base.

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Yup.

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most. Health care is a human right. Every other major country recognizes that. It's long past time the United States does as well.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

The federal government is on track to collect a record $23 billion in tariff revenue in May. That would be roughly 3x last year's figure for May. For some context, the tax bill passed by Congress last week would reduce federal revenue by ~$468 billion in 2026 (per CBO).

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.
