POTUS went out if his way to free two human traffickers, and flew them home on a private jet. This is a giant middle finger to every single woman on the planet.

Weekly pep talk: For federal employees- 1) do your job well because the work you do matters. 2) don’t violate the law and give them an easy reason to target you. This includes the Hatch Act. 3) treat coworkers, subordinates, and supervisors kindly- this crap is hurting everyone. 4) take breaks.

1. UPDATE The NIH is still blocking most ongoing scientific funding over concerns about DEI, according to NIH sources and internal NIH correspondence. The freeze has continued even after top NIH officials acknowledged that continuing to block the funding would violate a federal court order.

THANK YOU to everyone who took action during this congressional recess! Whether you helped turn up the pressure on a Republican or push your Democratic representative to use their leverage, we could not be more thankful for all you’re doing to fight back against the Trump-Musk coup. 👏

Selecting another right-wing Fox personality and internet troll — Dan Bongino — as Deputy FBI Director means two things: Trump installs another loyalist who won’t say no to any immoral or unethical act. And our law enforcement agencies — and the public safety — are further degraded.

Science doesn't really function well operating in authoritarian environments, if you can't openly share information and network, social media is just propaganda. Basically, scientists are usually the first to leave the "Nazi bars" and they have quickly decamped to bluer skies. Thanks @bsky.app

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.

We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.
