Kennedy's massacre of the ACIP panel is a continuation of the Trump Regime's eugenics — they are trying to kill disabled, immunocompromised and chronically ill Americans; that's the outcome they want because they do not view us as fully human. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically because he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

NEW: A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

"For 142 years, the merit-based civil service survived because both parties recognized that functional government requires professional expertise. That consensus is dead. We're watching the transformation of public servants into party servants, of a government of laws into a government of loyalty."

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.

NASA’s iconic Goddard Institute for Space Studies—home to Jim Hansen and hundreds more scientists, creator of the GISS model and keeper of the global temperature record—has been evicted from its longstanding NYC office above the “Seinfeld” restaurant. Why? The government told them to move out.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's proposed budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

While we are all reeling from the budget and its major cuts to NASA, NIH, USGS, etc. I want to also draw attention to this little nugget about State Wildlife Grants, which is the mechanism for funding State Wildlife Action Plans. Eliminating SWG will destroy state natural resource agencies.

I was curious just how much time in prison people pardoned by Trump would otherwise have had to have served. So I added it up: more than 700 years, including 600 among Jan. 6 rioters. Gift link: wapo.st/3Hfd174

Trump is slowly firing the National Security Council staff. The goal is to destroy it as it currently exists so it cannot act as a barrier to Trump. This is real. This is happening. Honor our vets by fighting modern fascism here at home. apple.news/ARG1xSG2AQOu...
