When $50M gets handed out behind closed doors, scientists speak up. NIH’s autism research push is raising serious transparency concerns. Science deserves open, accountable processes, esp under Trump, whose cronies have pushed misinformation about autism causes. zurl.co/QxCxQ #StandUpForScience

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "There is for sure a section of voters that finds the violence abhorrent...There's another section though, people who are terminally online like Mike Lee...where the ethos of drinking liberal tears...shifted from a kind of joke to an actual cruelty."

Trump does not want a peacefully prosperous nation. He is trying to provoke, antagonize and incite. Do not ignore this act of tyranny. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

I think we need to legitimately ask if ICE has instructions to target Democratic public officials when possible and if they are choosing to carry out those orders. This is the second in less than a week who identified himself before being taken into custody for nonviolent behavior.

Trump’s pardons of white-collar fraudsters, GOP ripoff artists & unrepentant cop-beaters cheated the victims & taxpayers out of $1.3 BILLION in restitution & fines. Not content to steal from the poor to give to the rich, Trump’s now stealing from victims to give to criminals.

The Medicaid cuts in Trump's budget bill are projected to cause more than 16,500 premature deaths ANNUALLY. Over 1.9 MILLION people could lose access to a physician. Over 1.3 MILLION people could go without needed medications. Americans will die for billionaires to thrive.

The “No Kings” protests offered the first real sign that the grassroots resistance to Trump hasn’t died—but it does look different from how it did, and it may, perhaps, be taking a more strategic form.

NEW: Alex Jones and Elon Musk are blaming the murder of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman on leftists and the deep state. But David Carlson, who has known the alleged shooter since fourth grade and described him as his best friend, said he “would be offended if people called him a Democrat.”

"The law gives police broad power to use physical force. But for a sheriff to claim prospectively that his office will hospitalize someone who commits a misdemeanor, whether or not the situation requires physical force seems . . . interesting."

Trump with Mark Carney: "The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake, because I think you wouldn't have a war right now if you had Russia in."

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

The ‘Virgin Islands Carve Out’ is example 101 of how the Trump-Republican ‘Big Ugly’ tax bill is a giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. Trump is taking away people’s health care in order to give billionaires and corporations a bigger tax windfall to live it up in the Caribbean.

As a constituent of Ron Johnson, I hesitate to cast aspersions on the brokenness of any other state’s senators. And the competition is fierce among the candidates for worst of the worst. But, at least for today, I ask you to consider Mike Lee. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com. They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.

Senator Padilla was handcuffed and forcibly removed for asking Secretary Noem a question. He was arrested for doing his job conducting oversight of Trump’s lawless deployment of the National Guard. This is political intimidation meant to silence dissent. And it must be condemned by all.

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" doesn't give working families "crumbs." It’s even worse. It rips away health care from them pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.
