Cannot be said loudly or often enough: the bill House Rs are considering passing tomorrow would rip health insurance and food assistance from millions, leaving the poorest households worse off - to partially pay for tax cuts that most help the richest - while increasing the deficit by trillions.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Fernández: He refused to read the bill he wrote. They are so ashamed of it, they couldn’t even read it aloud—because they know it’s shameful to give tax breaks to tanning beds and take away hospital beds. Who likes tanning beds? There’s a certain personality who has a very orange hue about him.

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

The crisis we face in our country is not Trump, the way every claim he makes is a lie, his admissions of grift, or his destruction of the integrity of the country. No, the crisis in our country is the nodding & smiling of the people on either side of him - one of whom is the speaker of the House.

In its first 100 days, the Trump Administration has relied heavily on ambiguity, misdirection, and plausible deniability to accomplish its aims. It’s a model that has parallels to other countries that have slid into autocracy, Andrew Marantz writes.

@aly.ruffruff.party I assume you’ve been reported. Before I block you, let me advise you to watch your mouth when speaking to me. Stick w/your workflow studies & leave political analysis esp where race & gender are concerned to people w/some expertise. But if you must speak, control your language.

As a science community, we must stand united. As we fight for illegally terminated #NSF & #NIH grants I see MANY stand together but I also see a problematic trend; some arguing my work has nothing to do with DEI. This only validates the false narrative that DEI is bad. Our unity is our power. LFG 🙌🏼💪🏼
