Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

This is what is happening right now.

This U.S. Citizen Recorded an Immigration Arrest. Officers Told Him To Delete It or Face Charges. The peaceful traffic stop in Florida turned violent after immigration officers arrived and used chokeholds and a stun gun to make arrests.

“One officer remarks..”they're starting to resist more now."..”We're going to end up shooting some of them…”

"Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] with a $30,000 bonus," one officer says amidst post-arrest celebrations.”

Tried & true US settler tactics. Like bounties for dead Indians.

That’s why we’re calling on Gov Hochul & state lawmakers to protect NYers & our communities from Trump’s attacks on our care.

Bernard is up bright and early coz he needs to leave for Illinois today. Safe travels to everyone who came to #PlantBio2025! Bernard will see you in Ottawa next year for #PlantBio2026!

Never ever forget that the only reason you are reporting this is because of Federal scientists, technicians, mariners, coms specialists, & admin/facilities staff - the very people Republicans have demonized for over 40 years, & are persecuting now like never before.

Report about that.

Susan Monarez confirmed as Trump's CDC director Susan Monarez is becoming the next director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Senate confirmed her on Tuesday in a 51-47 vote.

At her confirmation hearing, Dr. Monarez said she values vaccines and rigorous scientific evidence, but she largely dodged questions about her dealings with Kennedy, an antivaccine activist who has sought to dismantle some of the agency’s previous protocols and decisions.

Thx again @jeremymberg.bsky.social. If I’m doing mathing correctly, nothing above 4% gets funded? This will be catastrophic, especially for our junior and mid career faculty.

I have been VERY lucky with NIH funding, with continuous funding since ~2015. I have never scored anywhere below 10%. Paylines like this mean a lot of labs like mine never launch

Some of us plebs have to interact with living people. Like every day.

Disgusting.

NEW: We now know what Bove lied to Congress about according to the 3rd whistleblower. He lied when he said he didn’t offer promotions for DoJ lawyers who helped him dismiss the Eric Adams case and consequences for those who didn’t. There is audio evidence. Gift link: wapo.st/4fdVVmX

That’s how much they hate us. They’re burning birth control.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
