Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he could bar government scientists from publishing in the world’s leading medical journals, instead proposing the creation of “in-house” publications by his agency.

Why isn’t western media covering the massive uprisings in Serbia? 62 of 80 Serbian universities have been SHUT DOWN by students. Hundreds of thousands are in the streets protesting their corrupt government and demanding reform. Their government is cracking down on student & faculty protestors.1/2

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

apnews.com/article/trum... Scientists have lost their jobs or grants in US cuts. Foreign universities want to hire them. Great minds who would flock to American universities are now being recruited to Institutions of Higher Learning elsewhere. Trump is destroying academia and research in America.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Hidden in the GOP Tax scam is a provision to take away the tax on..... gun silencers. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Jeffries on the $5m payout to Ashli Babbitt's family: "This settlement is just an extension of what they've previously done, which is to pardon violent felons who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6, including police officers."

UNBELIEVABLE! Trump permits sale of device that allows standard firearms to fire like machine guns. Since the forced reset trigger devices will not be considered firearms, they can be purchased anonymously, w/o a background or age check. PASS IT ON, OFF BSKY, TOO! www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

93% of all Earth's tornados occur in North America. And the vast, vast majority of these occur in states that currently vote Republican. Trump voters need to disengage from their cult – and develop some critical thinking skills.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is trying to shut down congressionally mandated offices that ensure the agency follows the law and provides critical immigration services.   I'm leading a group of AGs to urge a court to stop these dangerous closures and keep these offices open.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

NEWS: Ranking Members Raskin, Jayapal, Crockett, Scanlon, Nadler, Johnson, and McBath release a joint statement on the Department of Justice’s unfounded targeting of Rep. LaMonica.

*Open bribery *Masked armed officials arresting residents without warrants, citizens who try to intervene *Arrests for engaging in non-violent speech *Destruction of government capacities *Massive economic uncertainty and damage *Unprecedented targeting of government power against political enemies

A big win for democracy in Europe.

Target foot traffic down for 11th straight week after caving on DEI Costco, which defied calls to end DEI, notches 16th straight week of foot-traffic gains. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Republicans don’t want to win your vote they want to erase it. The SAVE Act is a Trojan horse for voter suppression, and it’s targeting people just like you. Read why it’s more dangerous than you think: www.tealandorangereport.com/p/the-republ...

NEW: The Trump Administration want's you to believe it's the most transparent in history, when nothing could be further from the truth. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/transparen...

Hell yeah! Put this on loop—this wise man speaks for me. 🔥

🧵 Erika gave birth in a Tucson hospital. Now she’s in CBP custody—separated from her newborn, isolated, & denied access to her lawyer. DHS agents are blocking Luis Campos from even speaking to her, despite him having all required paperwork. This is cruel. This is fascism. @aaronparnas.bsky.social

In early March, I wrote about the proto-authoritarian attacks on science and universities by the Trump administration and listed some warning signs to look out for in the coming weeks. Now six weeks later and those warning signs are being realised. christinapagel.substack.com/p/warning-si...

Let’s ‘break it down,’ shall we?! 👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Stephen Fry's argument against God and His morals.

URGENT (spread the word) everyone I Demanded the Brevard State Attorney to Re-file criminal Charges against Samuel R. Dawkins 05-2014-CF-015815 & Governor DESANTIS to investigate the 14 year GOP Political cover-up THE CRIMINAL WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE

Our four star general who was fired for “DEI” never needed a makeup room, never used Signal, and wasn’t widely known as a drunken joke. Jus sayin 💙🇺🇸

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

🚨🚨 Heads up, y’all. There’s an important special election coming up April 29. Denise Slipy Is running for Minnesota State Senate, District 6. Slipy will work for the People and be their voice. It’s time for change, Minnesota! Donate, Support, Vote Democrat Denise Slipy MN State Senate, District 6

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE. Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal. This is an assault on every single taxpayer's rights and will destroy lives.

FRANCE: Put the felon in prison and bar them from running for president. UNITED STATES: Elect the felon president.

Judge Susan Crawford just dropped a video against her opponent for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court: "How corrupt is Brad Schimel?" Get out and vote for her, Wisconsin! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Breaking: A Delta jet just came close to colliding with a US military jet over Washington, DC, causing alarms to go off.

This man is a true patriot 🇺🇸

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.
