This will also decimate our pipeline of young scientists. Congress needs to wake up. Cuts to science cannot be allowed to stand.

🚨SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS 🚨 In his first 100 days, Trump has declared war on science—slashing budgets, censoring facts, and meddling in research. From climate to cancer care, real lives are at risk. Here’s a thread on Trump’s assault on science so far—and why it matters: (🧵)

Trump is looking after big business and lining his pockets. He doesn’t care what that means for you.

This is reduction in force. Reduction in the force of American science. Reduction in a highly trained workforce with the capacity to discover, create, and build. Reduction in force-magnifying effects as discoveries become devices, diagnostics, and cures. A steep price to pay for all of us.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking. And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.

Members of Congress need to wake up and push back on the dismantling and elimination of American research which is the backbone of economic progress and our leadership in the world.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Important point here: they are not firing public officials to save money - personnel costs are relatively minor - they want to kneecap capacity so that these agencies struggle to spend money. Its a back door impoundment.

U.S. military veterans are raising the alarm about TCE, a highly toxic chemical that EPA found poses "unreasonable health risks." Under the current administration, EPA delayed a scheduled ban and phase out. It's time to protect our troops and their families from #TCE.

Does this seem “efficient” to you? Where is Pharma on this administration’s abandonment of vital research?

Why does anyone think it’s a good idea to expose more people to TCE which can cause cancer and Parkinson’s? I guess sell-outs to the chemical industry do. We can stop this.

Dear Canada, Most Americans do not support this guy or insanity. That said, you can help us to get rid of him. Say you’ll agree to join the US if you are recognized as 6 states, everyone gets free health care for all, and a new election. Then let’s vote this awfulness out. Thank you!

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.
