Trump moved Epstein's evil henchwoman to posh jail nicknamed "Club Fed" - WHY? Our president is helping one of the worst predators in US history. Release Epstein files now!

Days after $5 million donation to MAGA Inc., Trump freezes Medicare waste crackdown Trump pledged to root out "waste, fraud and abuse." Then a big contribution to his Super PAC came in.

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC

Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.

With all the smoke from fires here in the upper midwest and all the horrifying Trump actions, it's hard not to feel like we are up against Mordor.

I posted more of this story that I was really comfortable doing because it is so deeply reported.

PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TO STAT. They are doing great work in this space and across the board.

THIS HIGH QUALITY JOURNALISM IS NOT FREE BUT IT MAY HELP KEEP US ALL FREE.

Funny because its true!

and some bad news to balance the good- sigh.

More good news that will hopefully keep us fighting! Multi-year funding without a ton of guardrails would halve more more the number of new grants given out per year for the next few years.

We need widescale blowback against Columbia and Brown. Not just because they deserve it, but because we need to send a message to other universities about what reputational risk comes with caving to authoritarians.

Some good news. Still need to keep fighting of course!

Agree with @hcrichardson.bsky.social today that Republicans who know better not voting better is big part of the problem!

A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Donald Trump is a storied pageant creep.

I feel like a lot of people forgot that part where he used to walk into the dressing rooms of teen beauty pageants while the children were changing and it should be brought up more often www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This goes for you @klobuchar.senate.gov Take a lead from @booker.senate.gov and dont vote to advance Trump bills that punish blue states not your own! @indivistwincities.bsky.social @mn50501.bsky.social

Keeping Epstein Files secret Medicaid cuts, putting Trump's corrupt personal lawyer on court. Republicans in congress are voting for what even they + their voters don't want. Stand UP to Trump!

A Quiet Policy Shift That Could Devastate American Science Why NIH’s sudden move to multi-year grant funding should alarm every principal investigator and university

Unless action is taken, most NIH agencies are going to fund about half as many grants in coming years!

When asked who else was with them, Epstein takes the 5th! In video deposition Epstein says he partied with Trump.

Just emailed Harvard Development Office (ads@harvard.edu) telling them that as an alumn, I will actively work to convince others >not< to donate if Harvard caves and gives the Trump Administration $ to end the legal action. Left phone message too (617) 495-1750

Not bragging- just the opposite!

Amazing how many people- myself included- had Tom Lehrer (RIP) as a formative experience.

I remember singing "First we got the bomb and that was good..."- a song about nuclear proliferation- in a 4th grade talent show, to absolutely no acclaim.

Houseplant with flower

I’ve had this kind of houseplant for years, and have never really been sure it’s growing or even really living. Then suddenly this week- flowers!

My parents came here fleeing the holocaust in '39. USA was anti-immigrant then too! If Trump + ICE had existed then they would've put them in cages + sent them back to the Nazis.

Agree- this is a strategy to fund way fewer new grants over the next few years, while also looking to Congress and the courts like you are spending the mandated funds.

Cheerios box with added "Now with AI" in a little heart on it.

I expect to see this any day now...
