Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

Setmayer: And the bromance he has with Putin is on purpose at the expense of Zelenskyy, because Zelenskyy has stood up for his people and democracy in ways that Donald Trump never has for America.

You can't create peace by giving away parts of Europe. That'll only create a worse and more devastating war. FFS, it's right there... in every history book!

New in PN: Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud "With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities."

When Trump said for the last 2 years that he would end the war 24 hours after talking office, was he talking about Ukraine holding an election in the 12th hour? Because he never mentioned Putin’s election point then. Said it would end after one meeting with both. Now elections?

Acosta: The reason they’re doing this to the AP is because the AP refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America—which is the dumbest thing. If you were to make a list of the dumbest things Donald Trump has done as president, renaming the Gulf of Mexico would have to be in the top five.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

President Trump granted a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road drug marketplace. Ulbricht was serving a life sentence for creating a site in a shady corner of the internet to sell heroin, cocaine and other illicit substances.

Something to think about with the Ross Ulbricht pardon. The feds are still sitting on $6.5 billion in bitcoin seized from silk road. If Trump gives it back to Ulbricht, he could easily pay back Trump by trading it for Trump coin. A potential bribe of millions or billions of dollars for a pardon.
