AND, "To comply with other White House directives, including on diversity, gender and climate, NSF staff are rifling through thousands of individual grants... NSF employees were given a list of words - including women, female, Black and indigenous - to flag in grants for possible termination."

Rep. Van Orden was a no-show at this farmers' event in WI. You'd think he would be there, especially since he is on the Committee on Agriculture, the Nutrition, Foreign Agriculture, and Horticulture Subcommittee. The farmers have concerns and questions he should be addressing.

"Secretaries of state and municipal clerks fear those moves could expose voter registration databases and other critical election systems to hacking — and put the lives of election officials at risk." Independently, It'll be more difficult for states to keep elections safeguarded from interference.

I'm not sure the Administration can be stopped unless Republicans break from Trump, and then speak up loudly and clearly to the American people.

It's a sad time when lawsuits are being filed in the courts to protect US citizens from the harmful actions of their President.

Saving the democracy is going to take all of us.

Bill Browder to Bartiromo: "This is like war reparations from Ukraine, who's the victim. Russia should be handing over their natural resources for all the money we've spent, not Ukraine. Ukraine needs to rebuild, they need to defend themselves. To punish Ukraine is a highly unsympathetic position."

"Despite a backlog of nearly 3.7 million cases in U.S. immigration court, the Trump administration has fired 20 immigration judges without an explanation..."These judges are extremely well-vetted, knowledgeable about complex law, and do a difficult job.
