JUST IN: Federal officials placed 1,000 employees at Voice of America on indefinite paid leave, while severing contracts with Radio Free Asia and other U.S.-funded networks.

JUST IN: The bill puts significant pressure on Democrats in the Senate, whose votes will be needed in order to avoid a shutdown. The federal government runs out of money at the end of the day on Friday.

In an interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, outlined a strategy for containing the measles outbreak in West Texas that strayed far from mainstream science, relying heavily on fringe theories about prevention and treatments.

Senator Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, visited Ukraine over the weekend and said the U.S. could not give up on the people there as they fight Russia. Elon Musk responded on X, calling Kelly "a traitor."

Musk said the quiet part out loud: he’s going after your Social Security and Medicare. Period. Mark my words. They will make you pay in every part of your life.

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Democrats need to be the party of ideas, not indignation. Our “Project 2028” series will address critical issues facing American society through a No Mercy / No Malice lens. We begin with housing. www.profgalloway.com/project-2028...

President Trump inherited an economy that was, by most conventional measures, firing on all cylinders. Just weeks into his term, economic forecasts have deteriorated, reflecting the upheaval from federal layoffs, tariff moves and immigration roundups. nyti.ms/43sbBz5

Very “1984.”

Well, yeah.

Michigan invented the middle class, where you could work at an auto plant and afford the car you were building. And the middle class simply wouldn't exist without the labor movement.

They’re going to cut Medicaid

Since writing this article, I have received messages from federal civil servants who tell me it is accurate, and that they are frightened. Please share this with anyone who doesn't understand the scale of the transformation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "If there's one through line in this administration so far, it's the amassing of power," our columnist David Brooks said on the latest episode of "The First 100 Days," a weekly series examining President Trump's use of power and his drive to change America. Listen here.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday seeking to severely punish the law firm Perkins Coie, which did work for Democrats during the 2016 campaign, by stripping its lawyers of security clearances and access to government buildings and officials.

Democrats who refuse to fight….your political careers will suffer in ways that won’t be recoverable. We promise.

Yes, Trump just rescued the Russian economy

The Trump administration is setting out to destroy biomedical research in America www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

The Department of Government Efficiency has deleted a bizarre claim that it had saved taxpayers $53.7 million by “canceling” a federal contract that actually ended in 2005. At the same time, the group resurrected one of the largest errors it has made so far.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

The Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s emergency request to freeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid as part of his efforts to slash government spending on Wednesday.

Is this where Trump mentions he’s cutting funding for cancer research?

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

California Representative Tom McClintocks's office on Monday confirmed that he has suspended some events in response to recent protests of President Trump's pol… McClintock’s a coward.

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Apparently Zelenskyy wasn’t respectful enough while Trump and Vance were shaking him down in the Oval Office. apnews.com/live/donald-...

This is what was talked about in project 2025 the unitary executive theory It’s bad! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/o...

I’ll be watching to see what my congressman, Tom McClintock, says about this.
