Stunning. Willfully dismantling America's formerly excellent medical and scientific research institutions, and telling scientists that they are worthless. This will have long term significant impacts on America, and on its economy, and on job prospects for students in scientific disciplines.

dems in congress shouldn't stop talking about how noem must resign and face consequences for this atrocity
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

The Biden administration orchestrated the strongest recovery from the COVID recession of any major nation. The very best recovery. Sure, inflation was awful - which is expected when there are several stimulus packages passed to help people out in a crisis like the CoVID pandemic. Not Biden's fault!
