This thread shows a deliberate defunding of U.S. science, engineering, social science, innovation, and education excellence. It’s a U.S. national security, competitiveness, and economic disaster.

Flashback to how these same folks reacted to vaccine cards...

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

SOUND ON

Olivia Dean: "I guess I want to say I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn't be here... I'm a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated"

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

Benito's reaction in video form

He would rather knock it down than see us take his name off it.

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization.

This is no different.

Donald Trump on Ted Cruz: “If I nominate him for the United States Supreme Court, I will get 100% of the vote. The Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out too.”

Love you KAT.

"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick. "I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day." Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game

Disappointed not to get a replay of Melo's reaction from either broadcast

Jesus.

Hannah Natanson is an exceptional reporter and should never have been subjected to this type of extraordinary intimidation tactic. We have few details now, but it’s hard to interpret this as anything other than an attempt to squash the freedom of the press.

THREAD: House Republicans look set to pass a ban on Congressional stock trading today.

The bill would ban members of Congress from buying individual stocks.

But, at the same time, this deeply flawed bill would also let them keep holding and profiting from stocks they own.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has canceled over 2,000 grants related to substance abuse and mental health services, totaling upwards of $2 billion.

xAI’s decision to create and host a breeding ground for predators to spread nonconsensual sexually explicit AI deepfakes, including images that digitally undress children, is vile.

I am calling on the Attorney General to immediately investigate the company and hold xAI accountable.

coerced my locals into running a genesys night! they’d been exploring a second locals a week, but couldn’t fill seats on a weekday, so we just offered an easy 100-point 3-rounder. got 9 tonight, excited to grow a little community 🥰

Tweet from @NewsWire_US reading: “Trump to House Republicans: "If we don't win the midterms, I will get impeached."”

Damn fucking right.

Y i k e s man

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

A tale in 3 acts: US Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, from skepticism to full embrace of U.S. military involvement in Venezuela

Find someone who loves you as much as Chuck Schumer loves not doing his job

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

on some level you have to stand in awe of the gall it takes to use this tone about someone people are angry at for suppressing a story about a concentration camp

This student effectively killed this TA’s career and likely feels not a lick of shame about it

Kudos to Sharyn Alfonsi for exposing the truth

But Bari Weiss killing the 60 Minutes story about Trump sending innocent immigrants to CECOT is only part of the story

The bigger issue is MAGA trying to take over all our broadcast networks and social media to spread their hateful propaganda

They got the secret lair line on the Epstein files I hope the foil bundle doesn’t sell out
