Today, republicans block Democratic bill to fund DHS agencies other than ICE, CBP. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) asked for unanimous consent for a measure to fund the TSA, FEMA, and CISA. It would not cover ICE or CBP. Republicans objected. thehill.com/homenews/sen... #PINKS

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Less than a quarter of Americans support the US-Israeli war in Iran, but legacy Jewish establishment groups like the ADL, AIPAC, and the Jewish Federations are throwing their weight behind this unpopular war, and they’re falsely claiming to speak in the name of all American Jews while doing so.

Mary L. Trump‘s assessment of Trump exposed a hollowed out man: “dangerous, irreparably broken narcissist shaped by dysfunctional upbringing, lacking intellectual curiosity, incapable of evolving, driven by deep, hidden fear of humiliation.” Fatally flawed dolt endangering us all.

The problem with this “sacrifice for our freedom” language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didn’t bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.

This is actually what Putin has an ICC arrest warrant for: kidnapping Ukrainian children.
Now, this has been recognized as crimes against humanity by the UN.

Thanks to Trump's attacks on federal research funding, the National Cancer Institute hasn't made a single grant this fiscal year.

Just last month, Trump issued an EO to increase production of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer.

Time to remind Congress Steven Witkoff is a REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER and investor. Has none of the prerequisite skills for the critically important pursuit of DIPLOMACY. America and our Global community depend on a DIPLOMAT with a consummate skill set. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

I’m skeptical of any reporting Iran will mine the strait. Mines are indiscriminate weapons. Iran loads most of its export oil at Khark Island in the Gulf, so its tankers would have to go through mined waters. Plus the threat of closure sufficed. But if it mines the strait, that’s to draw the Navy in

Some of the awardees and their nominators stand at the stairs in the Department of Biochemistry after the awards ceremony

Another fantastic evening celebrating truly inspirational women at the Suffrage Science Awards in Life Sciences 2026.
