I'm interested in any of the sciences maily environmental studies, birding, and a bit of astronomy. I like helping on citizen science projects at times. I also like cooking, some hiking and anything nature related.

As a Musk biographer, my viewโ€”based on the available evidenceโ€”is that if Trump and his team get their hands on Elon Muskโ€™s federal citizenship application and compare it to the public acknowledgment by Kimbal Musk that he and his brother knowingly violated their student visas, Musk can be deported.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?

On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.

But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. ๐Ÿงต

Kansas Senator Roger Marshall. He just voted to support Donald Trump's tariff policies, which hurt farmers and kill jobs in agricultural states like Kansas. He's up for re-election in 2026.

RETWEET to let Kansas know that Marshall is choosing Trump over farmers!

Out of court. Fascinating to see Judge Xinis in action. My read is that sheโ€™s FAST losing patience with the defendants, and skeptical that they will comply with her orders in โ€œgood faithโ€ (a phrase she used many times, pointedly).

Sheโ€™ll keep trying, but now sheโ€™s building a record for contempt.

Judge Xinis just ordered a two-week sprint to force Trump officials under oath.
Why? Because they defied a Supreme Court ruling and left a Maryland father in a foreign prison.
No more stalling. No more excuses.
This isnโ€™t just a legal fightโ€”itโ€™s a constitutional showdown.

Why Trump's attempt to pressure Beijing with ever-rising tariffs could backfire Trumpโ€™s approach not only confuses China but it could hinder communication and roll back progress in U.S.-China ties.

President Trump appears hopeful his tariffs on China will force Beijing into negotiations.

But his approach not only confuses China, but is also likely to hinder communication and roll back progress in U.S.-China ties, analysts tell @NBCNews.

President Trump's tariffs could better some parts of the domestic aluminum industry, analysts say.

But some producers say a ramp-up of U.S. manufacturing would take years and worsen pollution.
