"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

NOTABLE: DOJ determines that a Jan. 6 defendant who was convicted of a firearm offense based on a search of his home must return to prison because the firearm charge is NOT covered by Trump's pardon. This was a point of contention among J6ers. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

Attorney General Pam Bondi Directives as soon as she is sworn in. Just doing everything we knew they would do. You may want a stiff drink while you read it. So many people’s lives are about to be a living hell just for doing their jobs. All because America refused to jail a dangerous traitor.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Hegseth confirmed but couldn’t have been closer. Vance cast tie-breaking vote for 51-50 margin. Not qualified, and that’s the least of it. Allegations of sexual misconduct, problem drinking , and financial mismanagement, any one of which would have doomed a prior nominee. Bad day for DOD and country

Lloyd Austin was confirmed 93–2. Mark Esper was confirmed 90–8. James Mattis was confirmed 98–1. Ashton Carter was confirmed 93–5. Leon Panetta was confirmed 100–0. Robert Gates was confirmed 95–2. Pete Hegseth will likely be confirmed at 50-50. Most unqualified nominee in American history.
