How many times have we heard him say a couple of weeks?

Now they want to get rich off their insurrection? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.

A Defense Department official pleaded…not to cancel a Harvard University grant…because doing so could pose “grave and immediate harm to national security.’’ We already know what this regime thinks of biological threats from covid and RFK jr. edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

THESE are the tattoos we should be worried about… Valknut: historically Norse, used by some white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

The story has now been picked up by BBC. www.bbc.com/news/live/cg...

The regime says this won’t end until there’s a leadership change at Harvard? Maybe in Washington. edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

His defense is that every executive order is an official act, even if it orders something illegal.

“Frankfurt was the first university the Nazis tackled, precisely because it was the most self-confidently liberal of major German universities…The Nazis knew that control of Frankfurt University would mean control of German academia.“ www.facinghistory.org/resource-lib...

Florida banned fluoridation, which significantly improves oral health. Chlorination prevents cholera and typhoid fever by reacting with organic compounds, but the reaction products in many cases are toxic and carcinogenic, introducing new contaminants. 1/2 www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida...

Research costs less at universities, so more gets done. Faculty salaries are largely covered by other funds, and smart, highly educated graduate students work for relatively little money. This is ideological, not abt efficiency or antisemitism. They want more R voters. www.cnn.com/2025/04/26/u...
