Judge deems Trump's cuts to National Institutes of Health illegal U.S. District Judge William Young said the NIH violated federal law by arbitrarily canceling more than $1 billion in research grants because of their perceived connection to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

BREAKING: A federal judge says the termination of NIH grants for research on diversity-related topics by President Trump's administration was “void and illegal,” and accused the government of discriminating against racial minorities and LGBT people.

“What a stupid question?” Is that how professionals interact with Journalists in America?

Not too long ago, Republicans believed in the rule of law, limiting the power of government, and protecting individual liberty, Peter Wehner writes. Then came Donald Trump. https://theatln.tc/JIM7oXYh

A press release from Gov. Evers: READ: Gov. Evers sends letter to Trump Administration Urging Immediate Action to Precent Funding and Staff Cuts impacting Wisconsin’s Forests, Forestry Industry

Wisconsin’s forests and our forestry industry play a critical role in our Wisconsin way of life—and our economic success.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

There is nothing clever or funny about this image. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us. @ncronline.bsky.social

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Proud of Wisconsin's role in establishing Earth Day.
