The NYT published a story that highlights how Congress has pulled back from the PBR's proposed cuts. The numbers show more favorable outcomes in the House and Senate for R&D. Damage was done in 2025, but these potential funding outcomes are better than what was feared.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Mayor Mamdani: If that is following his training, then there are larger questions about the training provided to ICE agents. We can all see that video and come to our own conclusions that that ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis. And it is a glimpse into what has been a year full of cruelty.

Venezuela’s “extra heavy” oil packs some of the highest associated greenhouse gas emissions of any crude oil. The country’s leaky gas infrastructure is partly to blame.

For five years, Trump has whitewashed the Jan. 6 insurrection, culminating with him freeing roughly 1,500 criminals. But make no mistake: it was a devastating extremist attack on our republic—and it was led by him. The deep evidence, plus a thread on his lies 👉 www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1x
