"When it’s all over, if the crown jewel of biomedical research — the enterprise that gave us the human genome sequence, Covid vaccines, and treatments for cancer and H.I.V. and obesity — has been destroyed, what will have been the point?":

The point is to raise more money to give larger tax cuts to greedy billionaires who don't need this additional money. This would encourage billionaires to give larger campaign contributions to Republicans.

After Trump's goons showed up at an Elementary School in Los Angeles, they were turned away. After this happened at two Elementary Schools, a local official said: "Our schools are places of inspiration, protection, empathy, and knowledge. Fear and threat shall be met with courage and determination":

At my library a few minutes ago, I glanced at the front page of NYT. From a distance I thought they had a photo of a protest from Saturday, but it turned out to be a photo of a bunch of tires at a factory in China.

Paul Rudnick: "What if instead of dismantling DEI and spewing hate, Trump and Elon used their billions to fund college scholarships for qualified, low-income students across the board? Why do they choose destruction over generosity?"

Tristan Snell: "Last night, Trump was supposed to meet the families of 4 fallen US soldiers as their coffins returned from Lithuania where they were killed in an accident. He canceled. Instead he dined with Saudi golf execs and sponsors for a golf tournament at one of his resorts." #priorities #military #politics

Honest criticism of Donald Trump, @flexghost, should be encouraged. You are helping Trump when you verbally attack someone who is criticizing Trump. Trump does not need your help. 2/2

Mallory McMorrow, candidate for the U.S. Senate said: “We are all a lot more powerful than Donald Trump wants us to be. We have to show people that there’s a future—one worth fighting for. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are systematically tearing down the government and our institutions, and we have to fight for a future that recognizes the status quo wasn’t working for everyone, but that doesn’t mean we burn it all down. We build it back up in a way that supports all of us.” #politics #priorities

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "Pres. Trump is so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can in the presidency."
