UC to Stop Funding Systemwide Postdoc Program Established in 1984 to encourage women and minority Ph.D.s to pursue academia, the program has attracted right-wing criticism for prioritizing diverse candidates.

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

1000%! Goat meat is my favorite meat. Who can I hold accountable for making this incredible improvement happen?

Sure but it doesn't matter what we fantasize it will be used for. They've already nuked several times, including for approving 40 judges in a block. I wonder if they will nuke it JUST to end the shut down.

Newsom: Just today in Los Angeles, Donald Trump called up the border patrol, sent them to dodger stadium and threw a fastball at free speech right at the head, free expression to suppress the vote

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.

He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.

After threats & delays, the WH now says it will β€œcomply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.

This is chaos. No way to run the government.

the actual contrast is between spanberger/mamdani (focused message, vigorous campaigns) and sherrill (unfocused, half-hearted)

The Trump Administration has been refusing to release $5 billion in SNAP contingency funds and choosing to let 44,000 households in CA-12 go hungry. Now, the administration has been ordered by the courts to release the funds through November. (1/4)

Quick reaction from the airport in Florida.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Quick reaction from the airport in Florida.

Guess what’s happening in Donald Trump’s backyard?

A health care affordability crisis.

Do what your big boss said and get rid of the filibuster. That way you can have your Medicaid cuts and total control!

Can I also just say, again, that the Biden admin under no circumstances committed to β€œleft-wing” migration policy, in any way, shape, or form. I want Douthat to articulate what specific policies he thinks are included in that, because I think he seriously misunderstands the policies at issue.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

You don't have to reward the so called hostage taking. Eliminate the filibuster you fraud. You would get democratic votes for that!

Let's do it. Let's get rid of the filibuster. Big step forward and actually the best possible circumstances for Ds. They've spent a month using their power to put draconian health care cuts at the top of the agenda. But ... I'm skeptical the GOP senate will go along. We'll see.

Get the senate GOP to suspend the filibuster and open the government if you actually give a sh-t about your constituents. That way you don’t have to go suck up to our dear leader and ask him to just use the funds for snap that are allowed to be used.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

ICE violently detain father & son walking to schoolβ€”teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizenβ€”agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

No, they are not! End the filibuster you cowards! You did it recently to confirm 40 judges at once.

You open the government, you nitwits. You just suspended the filibuster several months ago to confirm 40 judges at once, now do it to open the government! Easy Peezy but you just want to pretend to blame the Dems
