Let me be clear as I can be: In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about. President Obama-5/15/16
17 million people just lost health care.
18 million kids just lost school meals.
3 million Americans just lost food assistance.
And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit.
All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors.
The ultimate betrayal.
BREAKING: A federal judge appointed by Reagan rules that many of Donald Trump’s cuts to grants for the National Institutes of Health are now “void and illegal” and declares: “Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"
And he was just getting warmed up…
"I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination,” said District of Massachusetts Judge William Young. “And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."
Many of the cuts were aimed at diversity, equity, and inclusion programs which the MAGA movement has condemned as “woke.” In practice, the Trump administration is entrenching discrimination against people of color and the LGBTQ community — red meat for the white nationalists and Christian nationalists who helped elect him.
In total, Young has ordered the NIH to move forward with disbursement on funding for 357 grants that Trump was trying to kill.
Judge Young condemned the administration’s racist agenda and stated that it’s “palpably clear" that the grant terminations were "designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here — the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community.
“That’s appalling,” he added, stating that he’d "never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable."
"I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?" he said according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney.
Judge Young said that he is Constitutionally protected in speaking out against this discrimination but wondered if he would have stood “against all this” if those protections weren’t in place.
“Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color,” said Young. “The Constitution will not permit that," he said.
“Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" he added.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Judge Young!
NAACP President Derrick Johnson on Tommy Tuberville's "racist" comments:
"Next time the Senator wants to talk about crime, he should talk about Donald Trump's hate-fueled rally on Jan. 6, 2021, and the attacks that followed ... Perhaps the real criminals are in his orbit."

POTENTIALLY MASSIVE in light of what we know now:
In Oct 2021, CIA Counterintelligence sent a top secret cable warning an unusually number of confidential informants were being killed, captured, or compromised.
In Jan 2021, Trump stole documents on these kind of informants.
Can we at least all agree that this experiment of handing the world’s most powerful office to a dumb TV host & shady real estate developer with no government knowledge, 6 bankruptcies, 68 charges of sexual assault, 7,300 lawsuits and $1,000,000,000 in debt did not go well at all?
Next time someone tells you that America isn’t a racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

4) Taken together, this is one of the most significant, sensitive, and politically explosive actions the US Justice Department and FBI has ever taken—one of a tiny handful of times it's ever investigated a president.
Bottom line: The FBI & DOJ must've known they had the goods.
Wow. Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is revealing that Alex Jones' lawyers sent him the contents of Jones' phone BY MISTAKE.
"12 days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of every text" Jones has sent for years.
"You know what perjury is?" the lawyer asks.
