ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments Nexstar, one of the biggest owners of US TV stations, said will preempt Jimmy Kimmel's late night show due to the host's Charlie Kirk remarks.

Freedom of expression is critical to the health of our democracy.

ABC and Nexstar's decision to capitulate to the Trump administration's demands threaten our First Amendment rights.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Trump admin is considering ending the government funded free COVID test program and destroying 160 million perfectly fine COVID tests. Order some for your household before the program is ended! covidtests.gov

You know how Nipsey said “I thought all that Donald Trump bullshit was a joke”? I’ve had this thought every day since 2016 and how in the hell is it still relevant?

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

All of this to be said, how in the hell is it only Wednesday. 😅

As a public health practitioner and research scientist, this week has been really, really hard to stomach. Never in my life did I expect science and public health to be attacked with such force.

Yes! I got 11 yesterday.. and a few of them even managed to filter through the University sorting system. 🫠
