I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t just aspirations that any decent human being should support—they’re at the very heart of the life, teachings, and existence of Jesus. Christians fighting these things are rebelling against their supposed God. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-white-...

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

“While Elon Musk is firing $40,000 a year Park Rangers, Trump and his idiot people burned an astonishing $16M to briefly hold 290 people. I wish I was kidding but I am not.” #DOGEDisaster #TraitorTrump open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity. Firing federal workers and cutting public programs is going to end up costing us MORE, not less.

McGovern: The stock market is going down. Planes are going down. We've had several major accidents, several close calls, and we just learned that Elon Musk, the guy whose rocket just exploded, wants to fire air traffic controllers. Make that make sense.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities. Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

Remember when every MAGA influencer — and even some politicians — falsely claimed the House GOP budget framework included a ‘no tax on tips’ policy even though it was total bullshit? Instead, Republicans are trying to cut funding for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits with a Continuing Resolution.

REPORTER: You said on social media that Russia is pounding Ukraine. Why not provide Ukraine with air defenses? TRUMP: Because I have to know that they want to settle. We want them to settle.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.
