We’re not just talking about vets who want to become homeowners here. This is going to impact vets who already have homes. We are talking about making vets & their families UNHOUSED. How does that make us great? Is that what you voted for? Who does this help?

An Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) broke into US air space. It managed to evade AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar & all AESA systems. But, someone did manage to catch it on tape.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

So much for using 9/11 as one of their rallying cries. They don't give a shit about rank and file putting lives on the line. On this May Day it truly is beyond time to wake up and resist all oligarchs.

Point of Information: Sharpies are not magic markers. They cannot, regardless of who is using it, make an Executive Order something it is not. Executive Orders do not have the power to change current law or override the US Constitution. Power unchecked is power retained. #Resist

In this episode of "Can They Do That?" MSNBC Legal Correspondent Lisa Rubin dives deep into DOGE with NYU associate professor of law, Noah Rosenblum. They discuss DOGE's potentially unlawful actions and the means DOGE is using to assert its mission of cutting costs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPM4...

What Americans need to come to terms with is the death of the Republican Party as a platform. Americans haven’t experienced such a dissolution over moral political philosophy since the Whigs. The difference here is the electoral grip of the party masquerading as Republicans is due to gerrymandering.

How much ignorance from our supposed dear leader is enough for the GOP? Instead they grovel and hope they aren't next in line to be thrown away. Call it out for what it is. Because holy shit if any Dem did this, it'd be weeks of coverage and personal attacks.

The grant cuts affect all of America. They affect economies in red states, and they affect everyone whose lives have been touched by cancer, Alzheimer’s or other diseases.

This would result in the end of much medical research in the US. Note though that this is the Trump / Stephen Miller budget proposal. Congress doesn’t have to listen. The fight now turns to Congress.

Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.

Well, here it is. Trump and Musk are turning #NIH into a garbage rightwing thinktank, just as we said. They’re forcing down junk science on us with your tax dollars. This is a deep shame for America and for scientists everywhere. 1/3

The NINDS scientists fired in the RIF are back at work - for now - after a "coding error" led to their accidental termination. HHS blames "broken systems left to us by the Biden administration." My story @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

"NIH is given till April 8 ... for a 35% cut in services." This isn't entirely correct, and it matters enormously for getting NIH science done. A quick 🧵: 1/ - NIH has many scientists, many senior, who work as contract employees. www.statnews.com/202... 🧪

If you’ve ever sat on an NEH review panel (as many of us have), you know how difficult it is to win a grant. It’s an incredibly exacting process, with way too many excellent projects competing for funding. Awardees are scrutinized from every direction, with more rigor than DOGE can even imagine.
