It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

DOGE wants to close Social Security offices around the country and now Republicans are begging him to reverse his decisions. Complete chaos.

We and the people of Greenland would be so much better off if we could just ignore president’s desires. Let’s empower ourselves to do it.

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate "There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

So, according to Republicans, attacking our Capitol & beating police officers with their own shields is “free speech” that gets you pardoned, but signing your name to an op-ed in support of Palestine is “causing a ruckus” that gets you deported. Do I have that just about right?

At the rate that IQ47 is implementing tariffs, the US is not only facing the possibility of a recession but could possibly be heading into a depression? The last time, such severe tariffs were imposed was during the 1930s.

Trump's shocking project to relocate federal agencies away from the National Capital Region is designed to dismantle the government itself. Let's stop them before they put the White House in Moscow to be closer to the home office.

Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that. Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

Maybe, just maybe, the Trump administration should spend less time trying to force itself on Greenland and more time making sure they don’t day-drunk text war plans in group chats.

Tammy Duckworth was a Black Hawk pilot. I will take her word on what counts as classified information for military pilots over someone whose military experience is that their own national guard unit had him removed from a presidential inauguration over concerns he violently opposed democratic norms.
