This guy co-sponsored a bill to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" classified as a mental illness YESTERDAY.

Someone actually pre-drafted a #FOIA request for you to send directly to #DOGE so that you can find out what personal information of yours that ketamine-addled doofus has. Here's a link to it. Happy hunting. drive.google.com/file/d/119jz... #resist

I received one of the 232 NIH grant "terminations" sent to scientists at Columbia last night. My research focuses on improving maternal and child health in the US. Also affected: ongoing clinical trials, research training programs, and research centers that aim to improve the health of Americans.

We can’t normalize or forget this: The president of the United States did a car commercial at the White House for his biggest donor... ...the same day he cut school funding to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Staggering, unprecedented corruption on live TV.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

"I am Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the North Armies. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, proprietor of a failing dry cleaner business, owner of a car with a blinking engine light, caretaker of a goldfish with ick. And I will have my vengeance in this life or the next."

The UK has bolstered support for Ukraine with £2.26billion loan, where the military aid package will be funded by frozen Russian assets, per BBC

A constituent asks Senator Roger Marshall (R, Kansas) why DOGE is firing so many veterans and the man just runs away. I’ve seen some pathetic behavior in my life but this might get first prize.
