Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research. Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

The Trump administration is weighing whether to destroy $500 million in stockpiled covid tests, @lenasun.bsky.social + Carolyn Johnson scoop. The effort comes after Trump rescinded a Biden executive order to ensure the nation would have ample covid tests on hand.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

It’s beyond disappointing to see Google comply with Donald Trump’s most hateful urges. From celebrating our greatest heroes and our cultures, to reminding us of the horrors of the past and the price of progress, these commemorations matter. Now Google is playing a direct role in their erasure.

So just so we’re clear, Trump’s international plans now include invading Denmark and Panama and possibly Mexico, economically forcing Canada to be the 51st state, and a permanent occupation of Gaza with ethnic cleansing. All while Elon loots the Treasury and puts it on the blockchain.

I don’t think that’s very clear at all. Trump and his Nazi billionaire friend are trying to destroy government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Anyone still on their side doesn’t want to work with you ever again. And the people who are on your side want you to stand in their way.

Trudeau's words hit me hard tonight. I was in Toronto (with many other American film journalists) on 9/11. I doubt those of us who were there will ever forget the kindness and fellowship we were shown by everyone we encountered. It's horrific that when Canadians look at America, they now see Trump.
