Critical: "deportation" does not apply here. It's abduction and trafficking.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

former VOA Mandarin service employee here, and as bad a loss as that is, the shuttering of RFA is awful news for less commonly represented languages -- Uyghur was the first to come to mind for me, but I'm sure you can think of others

DOGE is trying to layer on administrative burden to prevent disabled people and older adults from accessing Social Security benefits to which they’re entitled. People in rural communities will be hit especially hard. Field offices are already overwhelmed.

I was at USIP tonight to conduct congressional oversight over DOGE’s break in. I spoke with Acting President & CEO Moose. USIP is an independent, non-profit entity and I will work to stop DOGE’s illegal power grab.

An update, per a source NOAA has done something similar to what NIH did, reinstating fired probationary employees but only in a "non-duty" capacity. They are getting paid but without access to email or anything so they can't actually do their jobs. The height of efficiency.

It's way down the list and pales in comparison to the same issue w/ Musk, but worth noting amidst all the other constitutional breakdowns going on: Homan is not in legally charge of anything and has not been appointed to any Senate-confirmed office. He's another "advisor" being given unlawful power.

NEWS: Federal auditors just admitted that Medicare fraud is the largest source of government fraud in America. But instead of targeting health care industry billing schemes, Elon Musk's DOGE is instead firing workers and eyeing Social Security cuts. www.levernews.com/how-dems-are...

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Oh the irony of a president that sends feds back to the office while he works from home. Which, conveniently, is also his place of business. “At the same time that he is bemoaning waste and fraud in the federal government, he’s actually through this travel having taxpayers pay his businesses."

Israel cut off electricity, which means the desalination water plants can’t clean the water. People are murdered while trying to get food and water for their families. I know we are trained to look away from the suffering, to be apathetic, but please consider donating to someone if you can.

NEW: Photo released showing the treatment of 100s of people deported by Trump to El Salvador, in defiance of a federal judge ruling. Remember, none of these individuals had any due process. They had no opportunity to contest any evidence, if is existed. A grievous human rights violation. 1/2

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.

As Trump orders federal employees back into the office 5 days a week — "I don’t think you can work from home" — workers note that he is spending an awful lot of time at Mar-a-Lago, signing EOs, holding a press conference. In other words, he's working from home. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

We're outsourcing concentration camps to El Salvador. This is horrifying, especially when they're simply using random tattoos to claim people are in gangs. A simple Michael Jordan tattoo can get you put in a concentration camp in El Salvador.
