This is so unconscionable. Elon Musk is personally extorting Ukraine to get access to their minerals for his car batteries. Once again, Elon Musk is an existential threat to everyone on this planet. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

I'm normally cynical about politicians but this is statesmanship. It is affirming republican civic virtue. Not irony-poisoned snark, not focus-grouped talking points. The oath to the Constitution matters, and it's time to speak plainly and earnestly about how our fundamental principles are at stake.

Trump cuts threaten a ‘generation of scientists’ as many weigh leaving US. President’s call to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ has led to slashes in NIH funding – endangering jobs and vital research. This does NOT make America great. #MOMSky www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s staggering to me how many people didn’t read the Mueller Report because if they did, they would know Putin was desperate to put Trump in power. Now we have an entire world policy built to help Putin.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

#DemCast #DemsUnited Did you know the government can take money out of your bank account without notice? $80M disappeared from NYC's bank account, taken back by the U.S. Treasury! Canceling a contract for cause is one thing. Taking back what was already paid without proving fraud sounds illegal.

If the Republicans confirm Tulsi Gabbard, Trump will have succeeded in completely emasculating & humiliating them. Not only is she grossly unqualified, she is profoundly dangerous. We will be abandoned by our intelligence partners and the GOP is fully aware of this fact. They have betrayed us.

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

This has all the hallmarks of a hostile takeover. Entire departments getting axed, with little thought given to critical functions, public safety or national security. Musk did it to Twitter. It glitched often. It was survivable. Glitches to the FAA, DOJ, FBI, CIA? Less survivable. Much less.
