If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Indeed Malala, indeed.

An absolute embarrassment. @houlahan.house.gov should be ashamed.

This vote is a disgusting disgrace. You voted to censure the only democrat BRAVE enough to stand up against the man causing the fall of our democracy. What are you going to do to protect your constituents Chrissy? Stand up, or prepare for a very rough primary.

Going to favorite coffee shop and our giant (no bulk there though).

Going to stock up today because postpartum Virginia drinks coffee more than ever before. 😩

As a purple state resident…can you not please 😩 I understood the assignment.

Honestly, this is a simple start.

😩…that’s all I’ve got for you today

My husband keeps saying “I feel like he’s pulling an IT move and turning it off to turn it back on again.”

I just keep thinking he isn’t going to “turn it back on,” or if he does what will even be left.

Small dogs with big sticks…one of the absolute best things in the whole wide world. Please share your dogs with big sticks pictures and videos with me.

Well, at least Pete Hegseth is cured of his alcoholism.

It says a lot that trump spoke more harshly about a woman of the church, Bishop Mariann Budde, who asked him kindly to "have mercy," than he has EVER spoken about a murderous dictator like Vladimir Putin.

Fucking coward.

Absolutely! Enjoy!

So very very true! Are you caught up because this week drove your point home.

Feeling even better I got conned into that executive level membership 😂

Nor am I!

When Trump complains about the judge refusing to release everything regarding his documents case - ignore him. There are still ongoing court cases for the people who WERE charged in connection to the case. Releasing them would interfere with ongoing cases. Maybe that was his point.

Two things can be true
1. NIH and NSF could be run way better - the way we organize & fund science is hardly optimal
2. What we're seeing is NOT likely to lead to some sort of science reform but cronyism and culture war nonsense that undermines the valuable work NIH & NSF support

Don't confuse them

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

This is truly and deeply terrifying.

Hugs my friend. I wish I had the answer.

Kids' rights are human rights.

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.
