The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”

How does this Make America Healthy Again?

To all my fellow 30-something ladies, and lovers of Tina Fey. I cannot recommend this book enough. #bossypants audiobook written and narrated by the queen herself, #tinafey, will bring you immense happiness and lots of belly laughs.

Autism is living in a constant state of cPTSD due to literal years of daily micro traumas that even the most self aware autistic person can't strategize around. And THAT, dear people on the internet, is what makes it a disability.

What did I say, Get ready to start chewing water.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

Where local forecast offices no longer monitor weather around-the-clock For at least half a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. That is no longer possible in parts of the country.

Trump Republicanism in action.

What could possibly go wrong?

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers.

The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners.

No estamos todos aquí.

GOLDMAN: Will you give Abrego Garcia the due process the Supreme Court has required you to give him?

NOEM: If he were to come back to this country, he would be immediately removed again

G: How do you know? The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he hasn't been treated appropriately

image of Khalid Mohammed, and the twin towers smoking - it's 2 photos superimposed

Does MAGA have amnesia?

Qatar protected Khalid Mohammed, helping him evade U.S. capture. He was the mastermind behind 9/11 - orchestrating the death of 2977 people. It should alarm every intelligence agent, strategist, & citizen - that Trump just accepted an airplanes from al-Qaeda sympathizers!

The United State is keeping a dead pregnant woman alive on life support because if they unplug her it is abortion.

This baby is growing inside an incubation corpse.

There was one thing RFK Junior said today that made a lot of sense so I’m gonna share it:

His great-grandfather enshrined birthright citizenship. Norman Wong is trying to save it. One hundred and twenty-seven years after Wong Kim Ark’s Supreme Court victory enshrined birthright citizenship, Norman Wong is fighting to protect that legacy.

A good morning to read about birthright citizenship from the perspective of the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, the plaintiff whose case in 1898 affirmed that birthright citizenship is guaranteed to the children of undocumented migrants born in the U.S. wapo.st/3F9Djae

Birthright citizenship heads to court. And, more roadblocks to Trump's 'big' bill The Supreme Court will hear historic arguments over birthright citizenship today. And, House Republicans are working to advance Trump's "big beautiful bill," but there is division over policies.

UP FIRST: The Supreme Court will hear historic arguments over birthright citizenship today. And, House Republicans are working to advance Trump's "big beautiful bill," but there is division over policies.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Keep this energy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social 👍

AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

“.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."
