1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH. An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

Trump is a Russian Asset

Longing for the day when my country, the United States, can again be part of this alliance.

So let me get this straight- Politico, owned by an oligarch, has notes from a meeting of centrist Dems w/ no power (from the list I saw, the only one in office was elon bestie Ro fucking Khanna), and people are using it to paint the whole party with a traitor’s brush. Great. Good job y’all.

Trump is describing a policy in which the US government will take billions of taxpayer dollars and hand them directly to his billionaire allies in exchange for fake digital tokens. Stealing our money and paying it to his friends in exchange for nothing.

Musk called seniors the “ parasite class” for collecting benefits they paid into. Elon Musk takes 8 million dollars a day from the government and pays zero in taxes. Please explain this to me like I’m 4 years old. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

It’s funny because it’s true!

"downsizes" is a weak way of saying "forced to cancel dozens of programs, which jeopardizes future STEM careers of talented undergrads" @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps Veteran, is sounding the alarm: firing top military leaders, purging dissent, and demanding loyalty oaths aren’t the actions of a president—they’re the moves of a dictator-in-waiting. READ MORE: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/27/o...

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

So you're saying the aviation accident website... crashed?

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

This was Winston Churchill when he came to the White House in 1942. Did he wear a suit? No, because his country was at war.

Now it begins. Expect more rejection of Trump’s America.

The nuclear submarine USS Delaware was forced to turn around off the coast of Norway after a refusal to refuel by a private company following the Trump and Zelensky meeting.

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

what a day

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

Today, Trump & Vance cast a shit stain on the USA while doing the bidding of a "KGB war criminal" who has some kind of magical spell over the pair of them

I've known and worked with a lot of radical smaller government folks for many years, some avowed anarchists, some who went off in the direction of what became the dystopian Thiel et al. strain. Not once in all that time did I hear anybody champing at the bit to fire park rangers and meteorologists.

As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤️ if you do, too.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Look at this Reek. The Faustian Bargain made by all Republicans. Look at what they make you give.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

This election was rigged. #itsacoup gizmodo.com/elon-musks-k... www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn... www.newsweek.com/donald-trump... www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...

This is exactly what happened to some of my coworkers

There is a belief in MAGAland that the private sector will just fund this stuff. For example, Sean Hannity said that “most of the solutions for cancer are going to be found in the private sector, not with public money.” But thats simply not true.

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

Dreamers are our neighbors, our teachers, our doctors, our entrepreneurs, and small business owners. They are integral parts of the fabric that makes up the heart of our communities. I am proud to stand with our Dreamers and fight for their future because their success is our success.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.
