Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happenedβ€”38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

Trump slammed for β€˜covertly’ withholding FEMA funds from blue states The Trump administration had claimed FEMA was just launching a new manual review process for allocations β€” a process the states showed is covertly based on Trump's funding freeze.

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled.

Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

It’s not a matter of being a Democrat, Independent or Republican. It’s about being an American, which has the rule of law. We ALL need to be concerned.

Heath Cox Richardson lays it out perfectly.

Elon Musk’s use of Air Force One with family sparks backlash over β€˜government waste’ | The Express Tribune Photos of Elon Musk, his mother, and son on Air Force One with Trump fuel criticism over government spending concerns.

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force.

MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse.

It's incredibly hard to delight a Russian and somehow Trump did it

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

30 actions of #Resistance
