We should all be very concerned about how the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia plays out.

Senator Chris Murphy explains very clearly why:

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Major budget cuts proposed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

Just no.

Trump’s Revenge on Public Health The attacks on HIV research are just the beginning of unraveling decades of progress.

The Trump administration has cut funding and programs for HIV research, treatment, and prevention so deeply that “we’re watching the field burn to the ground,” one researcher told Katherine J. Wu.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the “SAVE Act”—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill.

They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote.

I’m voting NO—hell no, actually.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.

This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

Elon Musk promised he would eliminate the nearly $2 trillion budget deficit in year one. But DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals, Jonathan Chait writes. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit—by a lot. theatln.tc/HHz6dJrj

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

Despite Musk’s claims, Trump administration spending on pace to surpass Biden’s The U.S. Treasury is on pace to spend 7.4% more in 2025 than last year.

FEDERAL SPENDING SURGES

Despite chaos caused by Trump, Musk, and DOGE, federal spending is on pace to come in 7.4% higher this year than last.

The federal government has spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26, compared to $1.763 trillion at the same date last year.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Harvard dodged a bullet. Imagine having to live with him as an alum

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

The negligence of this administration isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a national security issue. We need more leaders who are willing to put people over politics.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
