NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was β€˜a ripoff.’

Pandemic anyone?

Dear Congressman Pete Stauber
What did you tell them when they asked why you supported Trump's decision to pardon the criminals who beat up and brutalized police officers who defended you while you found a place to hide on Insurrection Day? Did they ask, or did you just bring it up on your own?

Shirt that says Healthcare for profit is a crime against humanity

Shirt that says Healthcare for profit is a crime against humanity

Worn this shirt countless times in the past and nobody ever said anything to me.
Wore it today grocery shopping and three different people came up to me and told me they loved it. One lady even said β€œperfect timing for it.”
Things are different now…

Truth, Lies and the Real Path to Respect Trump exploits the deadly tragedy near Reagan National to incite more hatred and scapegoat others

Donald Trump keeps proving he has no idea what it means to earn respect. The remorseless sociopath who has been elected as commander-in-chief was not interested in providing consolation.

Puppy killer Kristi Noem showed up in NYC in tactical gear to cosplay an ICE agent after she was recently sworn in as DHS Secretary by Clarence Thomas: β€œI’m here in NYC this morning. We are getting the dirtbags off these streets."

Just like Big Tech, American steel lines up with Trump oligarchy β€’ Minnesota Reformer The billionaires with their big talk and fat checks will be long gone by then, safely protected behind walls we built because we needed the jobs.

I am not surprised. They are a core industry and will want to appease their shareholders.

Trump hands a big win to Big Tobacco Menthol cigarettes are here to stay, thanks to a misleading industry lobbying campaign.

The Trump administration has snuffed out a plan to ban menthol cigarettes, handing a victory to the tobacco industry after it waged a massive and at times deceptive lobbying campaign.

Supreme Court: Minnesota House β€˜dysfunctional.’ Should we act? At issue before the court is whether the current 67 Republican members constitute a quorum needed for the Minnesota House to do business.

Just one day after hearing oral arguments in the dispute between DFLers and Republicans in the state House, the Minnesota Supreme Court Friday found in favor of the DFL: a quorum to conduct any business in the House is 68 seats. buff.ly/40Boh3Y

Global instability will hit home - Minnesota Brown Governments around the world are dropping like flies. Change can feel good, but few benefit when it brings total instability.

"The rise of global unrest bodes poorly for us all. We must address economic inequality and the propaganda that fuels it. A tall order, but one that begins with a simple question: What have I done today to support a civil society and functional system?"
