Thousands of Urine and Tissue Samples Are in Danger of Rotting After Staff Cuts at a CDC Laboratory Workers who recently lost their jobs at the National Institute for Occupational Safety say they’re concerned that there’s no plan for managing biological samples tied to research projects.

NEW: Workers who recently lost their jobs at the National Institute for Occupational Safety due to Trump's cuts tell WIRED that they fear biological samples, like human urine and frozen rodent organs used for research, will be left to rot...

So the “women in space” sending the message that young girls belong in STEM was……bullshit ?

Gosh imagine if you hadn’t crumpled under pressure, you own a part of this.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do:

1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat

2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear

3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Andry Hernandez Romero. Also. Exists.

I mean I get in, it’s Amurika and Abrego Garcia has kids, so his life is OBVIOUSLY more valuable.

Romero is Venezuelan, he’s way less likely to survive, and has zero priors.
He’s gay tho, so he gets 2% of the coverage.

This country is a joke.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

The Trump Administration is using our taxpayer dollars to pay a foreign government to keep a man it mistakenly deported in an inhumane mass prison.

Trump must abide by the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling and bring Kilmar home.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

1. Holly Robinson-Peete’s 27 year old son RJ is autistic and she has used her platform to become one of the most visible advocates for the autism community.

She reacts to RFK Jr’s horrible and inaccurate comments about autism here.

(Clip 1 of 3)

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Oh.

"This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Dem Sen. Chris Van Hollen: El Salvador Government Just Refused To Let Me Visit Wrongly Deported Man

"...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws..."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego.

That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.

El Salvador allowed Republican Rep. Riley Moore to tour CECOT yesterday—but denied access to Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen today.

What could they possibly be hiding that only the GOP is willing to overlook?

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

For someone who went to Yale, JV isn't particularly bright. JV, it is not just the deportation of the man you are lying about, it is the fact that your boss (and probably you) have no respect for the citizenship of Americans, and plan to deport folks born in the US as well.

Kilmar Garcia was in the U.S. legally. He entered as a minor and had legal protection under “withholding of removal” granted by a judge in 2019, meaning deportation was prohibited by law. ICE removed him anyway, and the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal. Facts matter more than slogans.

Former President Biden: “Why are these guys taking aim at Social Security now?—they are shooting first and aiming later. They want to wreck it so they can rob it.”

He is right. The current administration is robbing The People of their hard-earned savings.

Thank you, sir, for speaking up for us.

The US is literally paying to use that prison. We are their clients, they could absolutely bring him back. Also why are we outsourcing prison jobs? And how much are we paying for this

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

One thing I've learned over the last 85 days - believe these guys when they say what they're going to do.
 
Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and said it had to be eliminated - consequences be damned, apparently. They're gambling your future and don't care who gets hurt.

This is where Trump illegally sent #KilmarAbregoGarcia.

In our name.

We should all be outraged.

A tweet by Max Burns (@themaxburns ) reads: "From the U.S. Holocaust Museum: 'What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.' Welp."

Never forget.
