These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

Here's the alleged Florida State University school shooter, Phoenix Ikner, wearing a MAGA hat. Why does MAGA keep trying to gaslight everyone?

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

Same, NASA guy. Same. Q: Are you concerned about NASA’s science budget and how that could impact further discoveries? Astrophysicist: Yeah. Frankly, I’m scared. And when I’m not scared I’m exhausted. And when I’m not exhausted, I’m scared of what’s happening to science in our country.

It’s time, isn’t it?! 👇 Tax. The. Rich. Already. 😎✨

This is very far from confirmed, but still--incredibly cool findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.

Turns out we should have taken him literally

The system is R-I-G-G-E-D against working people. RIGGED.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us all safe and healthy

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

So, we're less than 90 days into this shit show and: - Grocery prices still high - Trillions in wealth lost because of dumb tariffs - People being snatched off the street and disappeared - Ukraine war still going - Thousands of veterans fired But at least they made trans people feel shitty, right?

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Peter Doocy of FNC just asked Press Sec Leavitt "Why do these Ivy League universities get so much money from the government?" As it happens, Harvard just changed their homepage to attempt to answer that question. www.harvard.edu

So we had an earthquake today, and something amazing happened…

Law professor here: Things are F-U-C-K-E-D up.

WATCH: “The Chinese told the 3 largest 🇺🇸 soybean distributors in China they can no longer do business there.” Tennessee’s #1 cash crop. Another Trump trade war farmer bailout won’t be far behind.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Absolutely

Area Man Claims To Be Strongest Leader in World But Can’t Ask El Salvador a Favor

Make it make sense

Ayep!

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Just gonna leave this here for no reason whatsoever…🙃

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.
