i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval but RFK jr also lied to the american public just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

The president of the United States is mentally compromised. He’s spreading the conspiracy that Biden was a clone.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

I was at this town hall and saw her say this live. My jaw almost hit the floor. I am running against her to get her the hell out of the senate.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
