Goodnight from Australia. Please stay safe 💕

So where does that leave New York City’s sizeable but scattered progressive wing? They’re hoping to capitalize on Adams’ increasing vulnerability and what they see as a resurgence in anti-Trump momentum to elect one of several left-leaning candidates for mayor.

Calling on the Gates Foundation!!!

He’s not just an ally he’s a criminal. Put it in capital letters he committed crimes.

"Watch Texas spend more on prisons than it does on schools. Thinking of making your tax structure more regressive? Come to the Lone Star State and see how it’s done."

Example here of NIH scientists being unready to deal with Trump and Musk. Aspects of the grants memo were blatantly illegal and the legal justification in it was stupid. They were given an hour? Someone at NIH should have noted the illegality and found a way to delay —then leaked it like crazy. 🧪

His standup act is so bad

Awesome human being you are. Thank you

Collins says she'll leave pushback to someone else. Odd, considering she told Mainers for years how powerful she is. #mepolitics www.politico.com/live-updates...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

Exactly right

Dark Pence is back.
