"'No one has died as a result of a brief pause to do a sanity check on foreign aid funding,' #ElonMusk said. 'No one.' That is not true. In South Sudan, one of the world’s poorest countries, the efforts by Musk and President Trump are already leading children to die" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar! Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.

Crowd at Democratic U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan’s town meeting in rural Belmont, Wisconsin, is so large that it spills out the door of the local community center. The repeated demand from farmers, retirees, teachers, small business owners: “Do more to push back against Trump and Musk!”

Trump's cutting of Ukraine's access to intelligence feeds is already inflcting a catastrophic loss of life at the front. And today, North Koreans are pouring over the border for the first time. Americans will never be forgiven for this. eutoday.net/us-intellige...

Yes! The key divide is between those who prefer politics-as-usual, bipartisan "unity," and accommodation vs those who understand "normal" politics is not an adequate option when confronted with a comprehensive assault on democratic self-government and the constitutional order.

I think it’s important to draw attention to small acts of courage and dissent (like this NYT ad and the message from the VT ski resort social media manager) that remind people of the range of possibilities for standing up, speaking out, and fighting back.

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

"The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world," writes former US secretary of labor Robert Reich for the Guardian US. "It is making the world safe for oligarchy."
