Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

So has the WH actually formally, legally papered the tariff pause or…are they actually still operational?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Even though the market rises because of the tariffs pause, the cost associated with the rest of the world realizing they can’t count on us not to be nuts will be immeasurable and far-reaching. 🇺🇸

Trump exhibits classic narcissistic abusive behavior. You don’t know what to expect day to day. You never know if he’s going to bring you flowers or knock the crap out of you. Either way, he’ll tell you it’s your fault.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

A longtime DHS employee inadvertently sent unclassified details of an upcoming ICE operation to a journalist in late January, officials say. But unlike the case of Trump officials discussing military plans in a Signal chat, the employee was put on leave.

The dismantling of the Department of Education is a direct attack on disabled and underprivileged kids. IDEA guarantees the right to a free, appropriate education, while Section 504 ensures accommodations. Without protection, millions lose vital support. Trump is anti-American and anti-education.

Breathing fire. Dismantling the department of education?!? 🐉🔥 I am enraged for our teachers. For all kids. For our libraries and museums being stripped bare of ideas and truth. A mother’s rage is sacred and holy and I’m linking arms with my community. You’ll have to take it from us.

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion. If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship
