Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

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

“Our adversaries even now must be celebrating; there are surely open vodka bottles in the Kremlin.” @mpolymer1.bsky.social writes about why Trump’s Ukraine betrayal will have awful consequences. “Does ‘America First’ really mean ‘America the Betrayer’?” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The Trump administration has blocked work that is central to major international climate change research, and barred federal scientists and diplomats from attending a key global climate event in China next week, according to three sources close to the situation.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social The consensus among most of us is that YOU should have daily press briefings w/Q&As informing the public of what’s actually going on in MAGA land. Similar to what Gov. Cuomo did during Covid. We think you’re the most qualified to do this. What do I you say?

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

"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.

The New York prosecutor’s letter is an example of superb legal argument and solid principle. (I know, a lawyer’s letter worth reading? In this case, absolutely.) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Donald Trump makes a practice of blaming anything bad that happens on anyone but himself. But with the way he's been crowing about butchering the federal government, it's going to be hard for him to avoid accountability for the fallout. Watch: youtu.be/9nPTHiPPCak

He’s a traitor just like Trump and all the MAGAts who support him.

The American people should at least have basic knowledge of how our government functions as a democratic republic. Some seem clueless. This article pretty much explains it.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

He has to try to ruin everything that brings #Americans together. Stay your fat ass home. #NFL #RogerGoodell #Superbowl #Trump #FelonTrump #TakeAKnee #EndRacism

@whitehouse.senate.gov stop the coup!!! Federal workers are not political pawns to be pushed aside by this dictator wannabe.

@sanders.senate.gov we need y’all to intervene and stop this coup within the federal government workforce. We’re not political appointees, we’re career civil servants.

NEWS: Wyden Demands Answers Following Report of Musk Personnel Seeking Access to Highly Sensitive U.S. Treasury Payments System

Trump is attacking the FBI and his supporters use the rationale that it’s necessary because people no longer trust the FBI - conveniently ignoring that people don’t trust the FBI because Trump and his ppl have spent years attacking it
