Dems who tell the truth about Trump are “radical marxists.” Media is all “fake news.” Republicans who tell the truth are “RINOs”. Trump supporting MAGA who dare tell the truth are “not America First” and are excommunicated.

Thanks to Elon Musk and his nighttime crew of computer hackers and misanthropes at DOGE, the door is closing on chances for countless young adults with disabilities to live with dignity and self-sufficiency. We must stop this fanatical destruction of opportunity for young people with disabilities.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Dictators disappear people – that’s what they do. The Supreme Court ordered Trump to work to bring Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia home to his family + three kids in a 9-0 unanimous decision. Trump’s defying that order and refusing to take responsibility for his mistake. That’s complete lawlessness.

Donald Trump's admin will stop at nothing to restrict access to health insurance. Their newest effort makes it harder to enroll through state marketplaces and limits options. That's why I'm leading my fellow governors in demanding Dir. Nelson withdraw the proposed rule.

Workplace discrimination is illegal, no matter if it's done by humans or artificial intelligence. We took legal action alleging that a Colorado woman's employer used biased AI to deny her a promotion because of her race and disability.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This appears to be correct. A margin call happens when the stock used to secure a loan loses too much value. If Tesla falls below ~$246, Musk may have to add cash or sell shares to cover his debt. If he can’t, lenders can sell his stock for him.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I always hated the "this is the greatest country in the world" refrain, but it is striking to me that the things they are killing in government — an unrivaled scientific research enterprise, incredible public lands, etc — are some of the only things that made such a statement vaguely defensible.
