We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

INBOX: March 7th — NASHVILLE + nationwide #StandUpForScience rallies as Trump & Musk dismantle the federal government while enriching themselves even further with taxpayer money. More info: standupforscience2025.org/our-policy-g...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

New, from me: Musk is not just destroying core government functions, he is also destroying the tech capacity of government. The people with serious tech skills who care about fixing govt have been fired. Both 18F and the US Digital Service are gone. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/skilled-te...

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

Now they’re coming for the judges.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Vermont showed up—protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location. Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red state—or better yet, Russia!

“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Nailed it www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Constant attacks by Felon Trump & Fascist Musk on our institutions, government, democracy & on us can be stopped. Tomorrow, show the power of nonviolent civil resistance by joining the #EconomicBlackout Just 1 day will make a powerful difference 💪🏻💪🏽💪

Understaffing parks and the National weather service is making us great… how, exactly? All while cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. They don’t care about the debt and never did. cnr.ncsu.edu/news/2025/02...

Just a reminder that my first two novels (Everything I Never Told You & Little Fires Everywhere) were banned in several FL counties for "sexual content." If you've read them, you know they're not porn. It's never about the books themselves, but what they represent.

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting bonanza appears to be having less impact than he's claiming, with a review finding that almost 40% of the federal contracts scrapped so far will save the American taxpayer not a penny.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...
