This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Trump “is the product of an America that, whether we realized it or not, was ready to accept a rollback of civil rights, a break with full democracy, and a new role as a global bully. Trump the mortal may not be forever. But he has set our history on a new, terrible course.” 🎯
There is no pre-Trump world to which we can return. That has all been washed away.
And there is no near future that is not defined by him and the cataclysm of his rule.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

It is obvious why the Insurrection Act appeals to Trump: He undoubtedly imagines it as a kind of cheat code that would make him omnipotent and allow him to establish MAGA dictatorship in an instance.
But it is just not true. And it is imperative we push back against such notions of inevitability.

Instead of valuing the lives saved by limits on deadly air pollution, the agency has stopped counting those benefits altogether. Now it is only counting what pollution rules cost companies. 😡😡

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Trump doesn't believe in racist dog whistles. He prefers racist megaphones. From his crazed speech at Davos:
“We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. I am derived from Europe, namely: 100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father."
Trump proclaims himself to be the great White hope.

But, despite ample funding, the agency has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025.
