"Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took charge of HHS, the Trump administration has indicated that it will stop funding research on the health effects of climate change." Climate change is impacting the health of millions whether this administration likes it or not. They can't erase objective reality.

DOGE’s expenses have now ballooned to around $175 million in just 12 weeks.

PCSSM Senior Research Fellow Dr. Joe Romm wrote a recent piece for the @latimes.com www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Due to the constant online attacks from Trump and Elon, 67 judges are now receiving enhanced security because of their involvement in high-profile cases. Threats against judges have already led to criminal charges against nearly 50 individuals.

“As a businessman, Trump spent a lot of his career profoundly in debt,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “His bankers often bailed him out, and he seems to believe that the Federal Reserve should do the same for his presidency.”

Immigrants falsely labeled as deceased by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, prompting staff to reinstate nearly three dozen individuals over the past week. These reversals follow efforts by the DHS and Elon Musk’s DOGE Service

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Polls don't win elections, voters do! Get out and vote!

“The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index is probably the best metric to understand if the U.S. is ‘bringing manufacturing back home.’ And it's absolutely cratering: -26.4, one of the lowest readings in memory.”

I'm at the US Courthouse media room. I'll try to live blog for @lawfaremedia.org the hearing in the case over the dismantling of CFPB before Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Unions claim Trump Adm has ordered reductions in force that violate her injunction even as narrowed by the DC Circuit. /1

Thank the @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com for acting as enablers of this antiscience narrative (as @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & recount in #ScienceUnderSiege)

Strengthening our aerial firefighting fleet will help firefighters protect Arizonans from increasingly dangerous wildfires. The Senate just passed my bipartisan bill to do this, and I encourage the House to pass it as soon as possible.

"Rather than threatening bombs and war and taking our military's focus off the Indo-Pacific, Trump should focus on diplomacy unless he is prepared to let a costly war with Iran be his main accomplishment heading into the 2026 midterms." - MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Senior Advisor to VoteVets

Great turnout for #Science!!! 💙👏👏👏

My full speech today at the DC #StandUpForScience rally (starts at 2:34:00): www.youtube.com/live/KxeaXm7...

🇺🇸Today we honor women who have served and continue to serve in our Armed Forces. The courage, resilience, and dedication to their service strengthen our military. Let's continue to defend their rights as they've served to defend all of ours.

"At some point these cuts are going to make NOAA break. I am just so mad because our ability to help other people is going to go down … This is going to hurt people.” Trump and Musk's gutting of NOAA and the National Weather Service will have real, devastating consequences for millions of people.

thank you!

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

🚨Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps Veteran, is sounding the alarm: firing top military leaders, purging dissent, and demanding loyalty oaths aren’t the actions of a president—they’re the moves of a dictator-in-waiting. READ MORE: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/27/o...

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah. “Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

She came back from the war yesterday and went straight to her grandparents. One of the many faces of Ukraine. One of the many faces that I know. Slava Ukraini, and doble slava to all you brave protectors of your country and your loved ones. The world stands with you. 🌍 🇺🇦 💙

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

It didn't take long for our new Director of National Intelligence to start spouting Russian propaganda. What a shameful lie.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

This is a British newspaper. The British will always try to bring the truth to their papers. The right-wing American press would spin it in favor of Trump. Always. And that's because, in essence, Americans are cowards. The reactions of all politicians and the right-wing press are proof of that.
