NSF downsizes summer research program for undergraduates Many participants are from groups underrepresented in science

"downsizes" is a weak way of saying "forced to cancel dozens of programs, which jeopardizes future STEM careers of talented undergrads" @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Spot on. Thank you, Rep. Swalwell

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

“You were disrespectful to the president of the United States.”

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

“leaders in France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Norway, Finland, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, Belgium, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Ireland lined up behind Ukraine”

“Mr. Zelensky responded to each..writing ‘Thank you for your support’”

Boykin: Vance didn’t even know enough about the topic to be having the discussion. When Zelenskyy asked him if he’s ever been to Ukraine, he said no, he’s seen it on TV. Are you kidding me? Seeing it on TV is your excuse for being able to lecture him while he’s in the middle of a war.

Coming out of a bit of a news break whilst in L.A. and this is quite the hard re-entry: the president of Ukraine being lectured like a child by the U.S. president and vice president who want to steal his natural resources and hand chunks of his country to Putin. I have never been so embarrassed.

The Great Resegregation The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

If you read one thing today… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things:

1. The US is not a trusted ally

2. Zelensky is a hero

"I gotta be honest, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other" - JD Vance in 2022. Explains a lot of today's behavior.

McFaul: But we keep talking about Trump wants to do a deal to end the war. I'm not so sure that's true. I think he wants to do a deal with Putin. And the Ukraine thing is kind of a sideshow.

Generally I would say stay away, but this is compelling.

Trump bullied Romanian officials into releasing the Tate brothers (indicted there for sex trafficking) and promptly flew them to a Florida courthouse. Not to be charged, of course, but so they could file a defamation suit against one of the women who reported them for assaulting and imprisoning her.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.
