What’s the point?

Pete Hegseth has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

15 American scientists working in climate, health & astrophysics to be brought to the University of Aix-Marseille , under a 3-year "Safe Place for Science". Europe positions itself to reverse the decades-long transatlantic brain drain. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After mass firings, the IRS will be forced to close audits of wealthy taxpayers. Audits of rich individuals and corporations will soon be closed — without action — due to a lack of personnel to complete them. Millions upon millions in revenue will be lost. “All of a sudden, these cases…

Denied entry to the United States for not liking tRump. 😡

BREAKING: A world-renowned space scientist was detained, interrogated, labeled a threat, and deported—not for a crime, for private messages criticizing Trump’s science cuts. The U.S. is now punishing intellectuals for thought crimes. This is fascism at the border. www.newsweek.com/french-scien...

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social can someone find out if Columbia was Trump’s first choice and didn’t get in? Let’s get to the bottom of this.

@brianlehrer.bsky.social hi. Can someone ask Trump if Columbia was his first choice for college and he was rejected? Let’s get to the bottom line.

It time for new leadership.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

You are up first, Baltimore! Be specific if you raise concerns or carry signs. WE MUST STAND STRONG AND UNITED.

How does New York State have not one, but TWO Democratic Senators who voted for cloture?!! They voted to support a King and his Jester. I guess that’s why it’s call the Empire State. @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Awful.

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

these people are literally trying to destroy america’s future

Hey folks – my phone system is having some tech difficulties and hanging up on callers that opt to leave voicemails. Your calls are important to me, so we're working hard to get it up again, but to be clear, I’m a NO on the CR, so if that’s why you’re calling, I hear ya!

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar will be voting no on the CR. Thank you, Senator!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

RADICAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM & ATTEMPTED MURDER!!!!! Trump has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer. Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

Mitch McConnell would never Chuck Schumer... NEVER!!! WHERE IS YOUR RESOLVE?

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸
