@rggonzoX @CNN Perhaps you need to do more research vis a vis Iran?

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

For Trump and his friends:

- A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you.
- A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you.

For you and other American taxpayers:

- Millions kicked off health care.
- Highest gas prices in 5 years.
- Soaring costs for groceries.

This is what corruption looks like.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is running a theft operation in plain sight. Stock trades. Crypto. Pardons. Slush funds. Sick doesn't even cover it.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

When she's right, she's right. And she's right about the unprecedented, breathtaking monetisation of the presidency we are witnessing today.

Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

Nothing like Chicago on a beautiful spring day!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.

Let’s get it done, Texas!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

There isn’t a moment that goes by that my mom’s words and example aren’t guiding me. I will always carry the values that she gave me, which I’ve done my best to pass on to my daughters, too.

Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

Louisiana Governor @LAGovJeffLandry declared a state of emergency, not for a natural disaster, but to redraw district lines and erase a historically Black seat.

This is what election manipulation looks like, and they're doing it in plain sight.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

Trump just fired all 24 members of the National Science Board. Every single one. By email. No warning. No reason given. The board has existed since 1950.

The National Science Board is the independent body that oversees the National Science Foundation, the agency that distributes $9 billion in research grants every year.

Its members are scientists and engineers from universities and industry. They serve six-year staggered terms specifically so they cross presidential administrations and stay independent of whoever is in power.

On Friday, every single one of them got the same boilerplate email from Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office: "On behalf of President Donald J Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the National Science Board is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service."

That's it. That's the whole letter. For 76 years of institutional independence.

The NSF funds the basic science behind MRIs. Cellphones. LASIK eye surgery. GPS. The internet itself. The Antarctic research stations. The deep-space telescopes. The research vessels mapping the ocean floor. Every breakthrough that made America the world's leader in science for the better part of a century traces back through grants this agency made and this board approved.

The board chair, Victor McCrary, was actively advising Congress on Trump's proposed 55% cut to NSF's budget. The board was helping fight back. So Trump fired the board.

Marvi Matos Rodriguez, one of the fired members, told reporters she had been reviewing an 80-page report as part of her board duties just days before being terminated.

Keivan Stassun, a physicist at Vanderbilt, said NSF's leadership had already stopped responding to board oversight requests months ago. "We would ask them, 'Are you following board governance directives?' And their answer would be, in effect, 'We don't listen to you anymore.'"

Now there's no board to answer to.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the House Science Committee, called it "the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?"

That's the actual question.

Because while Trump is firing American scientists, China is building research universities at a rate we cannot match. The CDC just buried a study showing vaccines work.

RFK Jr. runs HHS. The EPA is gutted. The Forest Service is being broken. Half of American children are breathing dangerous air. And now the people who decide what gets researched in the United States have all been fired by email on a Friday afternoon.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Ron DeSantis just rammed out a gerrymandered MAGA map that openly violates his own state constitution — and leaked it to Fox News before he gave it to the legislature.

California let voters decide. Virginia did too.

DeSantis won’t. He’s rigging the map because he knows he can’t win on a fair one.

Donald Trump started this war on voters. DeSantis is on his knees carrying it out.

I've never been so relieved to have already renewed my passport.
