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"

Speaking as a veteran to current service members: We swore an oath to protect this country "against all enemies, foreign and domestic" You have a hard choice to make. No one wants to make a choice like this. I hope you can find the strength and courage to make the right one

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

There's this horrible scene, and so far, two journalists - a British man, and an Australian woman, have been hit by "less lethal" rounds. Masked people smashing car windows and dragging people out of cars and putting them in unmarked vehicles - people don't want to live like this.

Donald Trump is causing harm and chaos to distract us from the Senate debating his disastrous "Big Ugly Bill" that rips away healthcare for 16 million Americans. We need to oppose these actions & ensure that people have access to Medicaid and food assistance.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

If you've never heard of marine heat waves, now is the time to pay attention. Driven by climate change, these increasingly frequent and extreme ocean temperature events, like “the Blob” in the North Pacific, are devastating marine life, disrupting fisheries, and impacting weather patterns. 🌊

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

Yesterday German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz presented Donald Trump with his grandfather's birth certificate (who was born in Germany). This is some world-class trolling – reminding the entire world from the Oval Office, that he who is kidnapping and trafficking immigrants is himself an immigrant.

“If it weren't for Job Corps, I would never have gotten my high school diploma. I wouldn't have had the ability to get a good job.” Job Corps changes students’ lives. We’re relieved that a judge blocked the Trump admin’s efforts to dismantle it.
