Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will *immediately* try to crush dissent and offload blame.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.

An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.

It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

This isn’t a coincidence, it’s a movement. Together we’ve turned frustration into action, silence into strategy, and momentum into real change. We’re just getting started.

Just less rich. That’s all we’re asking.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

For nearly a century, our nation has upheld the sacred promise of Social Security β€” that hard work is rewarded with dignity and respect when one retires or becomes disabled.

Donald Trump is breaking that promise.

We can't wait for the damage to set in, it's time to stand up.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury.

Parents deported to Mexico while seeking brain cancer treatment for young American daughter | CNN The undocumented parents of a 10-year-old US citizen whose family was removed to Mexico say they are desperately seeking a way for either of them to return to the US with the girl so she can continue ...

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I for one will never forgive or forget those who said β€˜it won’t be that bad’.
