“The only people that are rejoicing are probably our adversaries,” said Elias Zerhouni, who served as NIH director from 2002 to 2008. “If I was in charge of the Chinese Communist Party, I’d be having bottles of champagne opened right now.”

Real-world impact of the cruelty and reckless of the MAGA Musk-Trump regime… sending support to everyone at NIEHS in RTP dealing with similar news today. #StandUpForScience

📣Don’t forget! Session 1 is tonight! We need enough precincts represented to meet quorum. We’ll be completing required procedural business, AND voting on the full resolutions package. This is when you’d make requests to “pull” a resolution for separate comment and vote during Session 2 on Saturday.

Thank you to everyone who joined my Town Hall in Chatham last night! I appreciate those who came out to ask their questions and make their voices heard.

Through these challenging times, I will never stop fighting for our community.

We love this, and appreciate Chase for sharing in such a genuine way about his experience jumping in at the local level! 👏

I hope it inspires others, because no matter where you live, your local party needs you. And believe or not, it can be fun! 😉

Chase, this is an amazing summary of your experiences getting involved, and it will hopefully inspire more folks to jump in. Thanks for sharing in such a relatable way! We know that first call or meeting can feel awkward, but everyone IS welcome and we hope your experience continues to be positive!💙

There are about 55 mil postmenopausal women in the US. This loss will have a devastating impact on women’s health. Even if restored in the future, a generation of women will have lost the chance to benefit from life-changing medical treatments. The Trump regime is reducing life expectancy here. Why?

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

MAGA Musk making more cuts to vital health research is going to cause long-term harm.

This research was already generating insights into the health of older women, one of the fastest-growing population segments here. Studying disease in women is not discriminatory!🙄 www.science.org/content/arti...

Pssst… seriously, you have to be registered to attend, to vote, to observe, to speak, to volunteer! Tick tock, y’all!

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Why are House Republicans so obsessed with attacking trans people?

Maybe it's to distract their base from their plans to gut Medicaid & give billionaires tax breaks—paid for by the middle class.

The entire concept of "ideological conformity" applied to academia makes no sense. Is the belief that the Earth is round a type of conformity? On some level, yes: Everyone thinks the same thing.

But sometimes everything thinks the same thing because that thing is true! This is how science works.

YouTube video by Farm to Taber Farmer Bailouts: We Reap What We Sow

Remember that MSNBC interview where they asked North Carolina farmers some hard questions about Trump's trade wars?

As a North Carolina farmer, I'd like to set the record straight.

Call me next time MSNBC! I'll hook you up with some quality farmer interviews!

Horrific. 😣

The day they put you on the plane For Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everybody in the Salvadoran prisons; for Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Öztürk and every protestor in custody; for all of the "home growns" whom we are told are up next...

This morning’s read…

“I hope that when it’s your turn, we are accustomed to saying two things at once.

Not now.
Not to anybody.”

Veterans Organizing 'Call to Action' Rally on D-Day Anniversary in Nation's Capital The march, touted as a non-partisan, pro-veterans employment and benefits protection rally, is expected to draw veterans, advocacy organizations, musical groups and some celebrities.

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

An vital point by Judge Wilkinson: the Constitution is not just a legal document. It's a political compact, ordained by the people, delegating certain powers to the government for certain purposes. Its processes and restrictions are our rules for our government. Trump is breaking our rules for him.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is another utterly disgusting attempt by the Trump-Musk regime to erase people and groups from existence. It will not work. Thom Tillis should be embarrassed to support this insult to NC’s history.

Y’all, help us lift them up! 🙏 @paulimurraycenter.bsky.social

At the Department of Health and Human Services, Trump administration officials want to reverse a regulation that has required nursing homes to have more medical staff on duty. At the Mine Safety and Health Administration, powerful lobbying groups have asked the administration to eliminate a rule to protect miners from inhaling the dust of crystalline silica, a mineral that is used in concrete, smartphones and cat litter but that can be lethal in the lungs. And at the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates radio and television broadcasting and satellite communications, President Trump's appointees published a seemingly exuberant notice asking for suggestions on which rules to get rid of, titled "DELETE, DELETE, DELETE." Across the more than 400 federal agencies that regulate almost every aspect of American life, from flying in airplanes to processing poultry, Mr. Trump's appointees are working with the Department of Government Efficiency, the cost-cutting initiative headed bv Elon Musk and also called DOGE. to launch a sweeping…

Because MAGA Republicans, Trump, and Musk are asking folks to sacrifice their health and their lives to make the wealthiest 1% even wealthier.

🚨If this isn’t the future we want for our children, it’s time to say so LOUDLY.

(We thought this was satire, but it isn’t.)

🚨BREAKING: Huge win for NC voters wrongly listed as "never residents." The North Carolina State Board of Elections says these voters will remain in the count and not have votes stripped. As for other "never residents" in dispute, they'll get due process w/ 30-day window. #ncpol

This … 👀

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Democrats are standing with American families and fighting to protect Social Security, while MAGA Republicans cheer on DOGE’s slash and burn attacks on Social Security while passing more tax cuts for billionaires and wealthy corporations. Help us spread the word!
