@BluegrassPundit @AndyBeshearKY This is about the people of Kentucky not getting the representation they deserve. Don't make it about your feelings..

@earl447399 @AndyBeshearKY You misunderstood the post. This is about Pres Biden and Sen McConnell.

@MikeLevin Research RN here.. please please make this a priority

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

For decades, federal grants ran on independent peer review. Scientists judged other scientists’ proposals on scientific quality, and those recommendations drove the funding. It was simple, nonpartisan, and it worked.

The Trump administration now is seizing political control over which research the government funds.

It’s beyond dangerous.

It has already canceled hundreds of grants for no longer fitting its priorities, including projects that were approved and already underway.

Many studies take years. When the money can vanish halfway through, labs lose staff, long-term data collection breaks, and taxpayer-funded work gets abandoned before it delivers anything.

Leading scientific organizations are sounding the alarm. Their warning is blunt. Politicizing funding decisions undermines the independence of research and pushes scientists away from any work that might put them crosswise with those in power.

Medical breakthroughs, safer food, better weather forecasting, and stronger national security all depend on research judged by merit, not politics. The more political loyalty replaces scientific review, the more all of us have reason to worry.

I’m not going to sit quietly while this happens.

On the Appropriations Committee, I’ll fight to protect independent peer review and block funding schemes that let political appointees override the scientists.

I’ll keep pressing for answers and demanding accountability for the researchers and jobs already lost. And I’ll keep standing with the scientists and institutions in our community who refuse to let politics decide what counts as truth. 

Our health, our safety, and our standing in the world depend on getting this right.

@ranig @SamJWeinberg Natzi? What Natzi events has he attended? What meetings has he gone to? What Nazis has he associated with? What Natzi groups has he donated to?

@RonBrownstein Is it really fair for core supporters to be expected to know about all candidates past behavior? It wasn't a problem for Trump..

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@AndreaE456 @Llamaoftime @Acyn I agree. But many people see condemnation of Netanyahu and think anti-Israel.

[Stephanie Augustine @stevieaa1]

@AndreaE456 @Llamaoftime @Acyn Honest question - do you think supporting Israel mandates supporting Netanyahu?

[Stephanie Augustine @stevieaa1]

@AndreaE456 @Llamaoftime @Acyn Are you a Fetterman fan?

@HonestLee2022 @AdamKinzinger FDR was often called a communist..

[Stephanie Augustine @stevieaa1]

@RedWaveForever1 @AdamKinzinger Now do all the Trump endorsed candidates who lost

[Stephanie Augustine @stevieaa1]

@AdamKinzinger @TheRickWilson More like "Cromwell"

@DocwelGaming @rwlesq Her post clarifies what we are seeing in the picture. A woman with the freedom to take on many roles. I personally have never heard another woman mock women for choosing to have children. I think it's a trope.

@Rocker_5150 @NYCMayor They are all currently employed so why aren't you mad at their employers who are required to get proof of citizenship?

@brokenkneesxx6 @CharlesMBlow Could you at least Google "eligibility rules for public assistance"?

[Stephanie Augustine @stevieaa1]

@necnet88 @CharlesMBlow I have known many Haitian medical workers and they were wonderful work partners. Their country is worse now than when they came so I understand they want to stay.

@RobertMSterling You only get taxed on 401K wealth as it is removed. No one will remove enough in one year to be affected by this tax.

@SethDavisHoops It's really easy to make if you have a craving...
