Trump's Department of Homeland Security has sent a letter to Harvard threatening to revoke its eligibility to enroll international students unless it submits information on international students' disciplinary records and protest participation.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the quiet part out loud: “We are all afraid… I am oftentimes very anxious about using my voice because retaliation is real.”

BYU grad student from Japan has visa revoked Attorney for computer science Ph.D. candidate believes a fishing license incident from years ago may have triggered visa revocation.

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him.

Now, his visa is being revoked.

Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING NEWS

Congressman Al Green has just brought Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump for his suggestion for ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Green said: "The movement to impeach the president has begun.”

Should Trump be impeached?

They are hearing us.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Trump exiting from the Paris Agreement is a bad move for the world and for the United States.

But it’s not “game over” for climate.

It’s “game on!”

We must redouble our efforts and change our tactics to move forward with effective somutions.

Let’s go!

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.

There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.

Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.

Here We Are. I wish I had something profound to tell you today.

The brilliant @austinchanning:
“I need you to …. decide that we aren’t going anywhere. We are still going to call out injustice …still going to create art, still going to vote, still going to show up. We are still going to speak truth to power.” Yes.
