BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

Donald Trump declares he's surrounded Venezuela and is imposing a total naval blockade without a congressional authorization, in international law speak, this is an official declaration of war from the United States to Venezuela. Days before the Epstein files release.

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.
This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

"In many cases, borrowers have paid back much or all of the total cost of their loans but continue to see balances rise because of accrued interest."
Ending the SAVE student loan program and forcing 8 million people into repayment will juice the affordability crisis even further. Borrowers told me they will have to cut their budgets, find new side gigs, and don't get what the public policy point of this is.
