Administrative errors. Unauthorized memos. Accidental defunding. The excuses keep piling up as the Trump administration stumbles from one blunder to the next. As Donald's reign of error marches on, could his incompetence be his undoing?

As Mayor, I believe that Housing is a Human Right. In just three years I’ve delivered 1,600+ affordable housing units, made 150 low-income renters homeowners, and unblocked the Land Bank to move over 150 properties already — and I'm just getting started. www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

Ok, I did a deep dive into this EO and here's what I came up with. This EO, if it's upheld by the courts, will allow employers to discriminate, legally, against anyone who isn't an able bodied straight white Christian male. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Autocrats always try to dismantle universities and other sites of free thought. But the current effort to destroy American institutions is also a reactionary backlash against real progress on racial justice in this country. Backlash only happens when movements are winning the argument.

Universities have treated the humanities and humanities scholars as disposable for as long as I can remember. It is too bad because in this moment of authoritarian attack on knowledge, teaching, and academic freedom they need us more than ever.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Huge crowd in Lansdale last night. People ask why we do these. Democracy must be seen to be believed now. Trump wants people to see only him, and to slowly stop believing. Nope. Everyone deserves to be listened to and told the truth. That’s America and that’s why we do town halls.

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

The ascending FY 2024 line below? Those are research grants on diseases you/your family have or will get. We’ll all be waiting longer for cures. Call your Senators and Reps via 202-224-3121. Tell them to save NIH from Trump and Kennedy.

🧵 Thread well-worth a read from a former NSF program director for the Science of Science program. Bottom line: “Misinformation research DOES NOT threaten free speech”. Something Congress also needs to hear loud and clear from their constituents. Great examples below 👇

This has to be the most brazenly corrupt act in the history of the American presidency. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money and the prize is direct access to the president It is literal pay-to-play

Well well. A letter sent to Repub Senators a few days ago said “if the [contract cuts] move forward it will be newsworthy. And you cannot say that you did not know.” And now a firing of an NIHer working w/ patients, reported on Reddit. Blame R Senators: call them if you’re their constituent.
