remittances home, and given, it is unlikely future migrants will be deterred. Even if the tax works as intended, it will only bring in a small fraction of the roughly $150 billion in funding included in the measure for border security and immigration enforcement. Taxing money sent to low-and lower-middle-income countries could bring in $940 million a year but could cost those countries $2.5 billion a year in total.

Those resources, Gill said, are crucial tools that doctors, nurses and researchers rely on to improve public health. "Just because they disappear from a health care website because of a politically motivated or ideological bias, that doesn't change the fact that these people need access to care," he said. Now, the Washington State Nurses Association is joining eight other Washington-based health care organizations in a lawsuit against the federal government. They're demanding the restoration of removed content and an end to further deletions. Dr. Christi Kenyon, who has practiced internal medicine in Seattle for more than 30 years, said trust in public health institutions has eroded. "When you know the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control are vulnerable to political bias, it's impossible to completely trust those sites anymore," Kenyon said. She called the selective removal of research involving minority groups "bigotry," and warned that deleting such data could cost lives.
Powered by your generosity In April, NPR reporting helped reverse a decision to defund the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study. When Science Editor Rob Stein heard about the landmark project being shut down, he moved quickly to interview several scientists on the project for All Things Considered. A drawing of a woman running on a treadmill with a weighing scales falling behind her feet with a caption “Reporting from NPR's Rob Stein helped restore funding to a landmark women's health study (Maria Fabrizia)” The decision stunned researchers across the country. The WHI was launched in the 1990s because most medical research had been conducted on men. Since then, it has followed tens of thousands of participants, filling a major gender gap in research and producing valuable medical insights. Two days after Rob's reporting aired, the Department of Health and Human Services reversed its decision. In a note to NPR, one of WHI's lead researchers said Rob's reporting played a "huge role" in getting funding restored.
Lithium-ion batteries were invented in the U.S., but years ago, China began leading the way in their mass production as part of its push for electric vehicles. Now, a competition is emerging to determine which country will dominate the future of EV batteries. Here's why this competition is becoming more complicated: Chinese automakers are announcing newer, better batteries, including in vehicles promising 5-minute "flash charge" times. U.S. companies have not announced anything like this, focusing instead on cutting costs. China is planning to install 4,000 fast charging stations, none of which will be in the U.S., where Chinese EVs face the risks of heavy tariffs and tech restrictions. Companies worldwide are attempting to build batteries based on sodium or “solid-state" batteries. These technologies could be safer, cheaper, and offer higher energy storage. The Trump administration has started the process of rolling back incentives, infrastructure and requirements encouraging EVs.

Trump Administration Updates 100 Days: What's Changed Scientists said canceling research on such a broad range of illnesses related to sexual and gender minority groups effectively created a hierarchy of patients, some more worthy than others. "Certain people in the United States shouldn't be getting treated as second-class research subjects," said Simon Rosser, a professor at the University of Minnesota whose lab was studying cancer in L.G.B.T.Q. people before significant funding was pulled. "That, I think, is anyone's definition of bigotry," he added. "Bigotry in science." The canceled projects are among the most vivid manifestations of a broad dismantling of the infrastructure that has for 80 years supported medical research across the United States. nytimes.com
Baker predicts that the new HHS report will be used to bolster current and future anti-trans litigation, and to argue that drastic policy changes are merited. "It will be relied upon, it will be cited, every time the government seeks to investigate, prosecute, defund healthcare providers and healthcare institutions that are caring for transgender young people," Baker says. "It will probably be used in efforts to criminalize parents as well." Aaron concurs. "The report will likely be used to restrict transgender health care and to sow confusion among the public." motherjones.com
Little detail is provided, besides the "savings" from each cancellation, and it's hard to determine the cost or collateral damage of all these cuts. But for some families, there has been a cost. One of these programs, cancelled on Feb. 10, was called Charting My Path for Future Success. It was a research-based effort to help students with disabilities make the sometimes difficult transition from high school into college or the world of work and self-sufficiency. npr.org

White House officials took over the response and began striking a far more strident tone in their public statements. They swiftly turned an admission of bureaucratic error into a political opportunity—a chance to flex executive authority and test the judicial branch's ability to restrain presidential power. Abrego Garcia's deportation became far more than just the case of one man; it developed into a measure of whether Donald Trump's administration can send people- citizens or not - to foreign prisons without due process. All the while. Abrego
The case came before the Supreme Court after the appeals court struck down some preventive care coverage requirements.

lowest priority, essentially putting them on indefinite hold, according to two agency employees. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission held a meeting on Wednesday clarifying how it would treat new worker complaints of gender-identity discrimination in view of President Donald Trump's Jan. 20 executive order declaring that the government would recognize only two "immutable" sexes - male and female. Staff who handle incoming charges, or intakes, were directed to code them as "C," the lowest categorization in the EEOC's system that is usually reserved for meritless charges, according to the agency employees who attended the Microsoft Teams meeting for intake supervisors, district directors and support staff that was led by the EEOC's national intake coordinator. The employees asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to reveal the meeting details. An EEOC spokesman declined to comment on the meeting, saying that "per federal law, we cannot discuss investigatory practices."
Office of the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick: In 2021, the faculty senate at the University of Texas at Austin arrogantly stated that they were not accountable to the Texas Legislature or UT Board of Regents. They passed a resolution stating they were going to teach Critical Race Theory to UT students no matter what the legislature or taxpayers thought. I replied at the time: "I will not stand by and let looney Marxist UT professors poison the minds of young students with Critical Race Theory. We banned it in publicly funded K-12 and we would ban it in publicly funded higher ed." Tonight, with final passage of Senate Bill 37, the faculty senate at the University of Texas at Austin had their power stripped and found out the Legislature does have authority over faculty senates after all! Here's an idea for them to consider: these looney Marxist UT professors should find a friendly blue state to move to so we can fill their roles with quality conservative professors who will teach critical thinking. Yippie Ki Yay! Adios! Sayonara! Auf Wiedersehen! Au Revoir! In every language you can possibly think of: Goodbye! Comments on the grammar of the Lieutenant governor’s statement by people on bluesky note that: The guy who misspelled “loony” twice is making decisions on university curriculum. Perfect. He also misspelled “yippee ki-yay,” failed to capitalize an independent clause that followed a colon, and mistakenly capitalized “revoir.”

a serious break with the tradition of Justice Department semi- independence. In January, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, fired several attorneys who had prosecuted cases related to the January 6, 2021, riots. Trump also stripped security details for officials who had served in his first administration but later criticized him-even though some face credible death threats from Iran because of actions they took on Trump's behalf.

AS THE STOCK MARKETS Crashed on Friday, April 4, Donald Trump left Washington, D.C. He did not go to New York to consult with Wall Street. He did not go to Dover, Delaware, to receive the bodies of four American servicemen, killed in an accident while serving in Lithuania. Instead, he went to Florida, where he visited his Doral golf resort, which was hosting the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament, and stayed at his Mar-a-Lago club, where many tournament fans and sponsors were staying too. His private businesses took precedence over the business of the nation.
The lack of paragraphs or grammar are original to the post. Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Almost every week, 60 Minutes, which is being sued for Billions of Dollars for the fraud they committed in the 2024 Presidential Election with their Interview of Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, mentions the name "TRUMP" in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend's "BROADCAST" tops them all. They did not one, but TWO, major stories on "TRUMP," one having to do with Ukraine, which I say is a War that would never have happened if the 2020 Election had not been RIGGED, in other words, if I were President and, the other story was having to do with Greenland, casting our Country, as led by me, falsely, inaccurately, and fraudulently. I am so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting. They did everything possible to illegally elect Kamala, including completely and corruptly changing major answers to Interview questions, but it just didn't work for them. They are not a "News Show," but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as "News," and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing. They should lose their license! Hopefully, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as headed by its Highly Respected Chairman, Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior. CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 486 ReTruths 1.68k Likes Apr 13, 2025, 9:13 PM

Passover By Primo Levi Tell me: how is this night different From all other nights? How, tell me, is this Passover Different from other Passovers? Light the lamp, open the door wide So the pilgrim can come in, Gentile or Jew; Under the rags perhaps the prophet is concealed. Let him enter and sit down with us; Let him listen, drink, sing and celebrate Passover; Let him consume the bread of affliction, The Pascal Lamb, sweet mortar and bitter herbs. This is the night of differences In which you lean your elbow on the table, Since the forbidden becomes prescribed, Evil is translated into good. We spent the night recounting Far-off events full of wonder, And because of all the wine The mountains will skip like rams. Tonight they exchange questions: The wise, the godless, the simple-minded and the child. And time reverses its course, Today flowing back into yesterday, Like a river enclosed at its mouth. Each of us has been a slave in Egypt, Soaked straw and clay with sweat, And crossed the sea dry-footed. You too, stranger. This year in fear and shame, Next year in virtue and justice. Primo Levi was an Italian Jewish chemist, writer, and Holocaust survivor
Photograph of Trump and the pastor together with the caption “Donald Trump's Former Spiritual Advisor, Robert Morris, Has Been Indicted by a Grand Jury for the Rape of a 12 y/o Child.” Which is part of the bigger story where the pastor sexually abused a child for 4 years and apparently started the abuse when the child was 12 and he was 21.
When a Democratic lawmaker invited Vizzachero as a guest to Trump's joint address to Congress in March, he found himself seated near Musk. He took the opportunity to confront the world's richest man. According to Vizzachero, he described his job to Musk and asked: "Am I waste?" He says Musk, "with a very condescending smirk," hit him with a line from the 1999 movie Office Space: "What would you say you do here?" It was a dubious callback to the scene in which a pair of management consultants interview a worker and force him to justify his job before he's fired. Like countless Wall Street traders who took the wrong lesson from Gordon Gekko's "greed is good" speech, Musk missed the point of Office Space: that corporate culture is dehumanizing, and bosses like him are odious cretins.
"In my case, I would like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. For 15 minutes until it gets wet. Drip, drip, drip. Ridiculous," Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office as he signed the directive. "What you do is you end up washing your hands five times longer, so it's the same water. And we're going to open it up so that people can live."
Excerpt from the article: McConnell, who has acted as a toll to the Trump administration on foreign policy, excoriated Colby's focus on the Pacific at the expense of other regions.

But Colby also won over a handful of Democrats. Three Democratic senators supported his confirmation: Senate Armed Services ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Sens.

AFL-CIO AMERICA'S UNIONS For Immediate Release: March 27, 2025 Contact: Mia Jacobs, mjacobs@aflcio.org. or 202-637-5018 AFL-CIO President on Federal Collective Bargaining Executive Order: "Very Definition of Union-Busting" AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement on a new executive order from the Trump administration stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government: Straight out of Project 2025, this executive order is the very definition of union-busting. It strips the fundamental right to unionize and collectively bargain from workers across the federal government at more than 30 agencies. The workers who make sure our food is safe to eat, care for our veterans, protect us from public health emergencies and much more will no longer have a voice on the job or the ability to organize with their coworkers for better conditions at work so they can efficiently provide the services the public relies upon. It's clear that this order is punishment for unions who are leading the fight against the administration's illegal actions in court-and a blatant attempt to silence us. To every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers, now is the time to be even louder. The labor movement is not about to let Trump and an unelected billionaire destroy what we've fought for generations to build. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

The truth is that the entire conservative Catholic milieu in the US-the one many of us once loved-has gone completely off the rails. The attacks on Pope Francis have become not just frequent but unhinged. The criticisms of his teachings are often malicious and intellectually bankrupt. And what's more disorienting: the people making these arguments are the same ones whose insights we once admired and trusted. What started with the dubia in late 2016 has descended into whatever that banquet of chestnuts at Mar-a-Lage this week was. (Author put in a web link here to an article about 100 priests/clergy, many disgraced because the Florida bishop didn’t allow attendance, attending a group event for Trump at his hotel in Florida. One assumes most were the pedo kind of priests) We are forced to confront uncomfortable questions. Were we wrong about them from the beginning? How much of what we thought was Catholicism was actually ideology wrapped in a clerical collar? Where does the counterfeit Catholicism end and the real faith begin? These questions have driven many of us to a place of deep spiritual reckoning. For some, it has led to despair or disaffiliation. But for others- those of us who still hold onto the gift of hope —it has led us to Pope Francis. Because if there's one figure in the Church today who stands in stark contrast to the forces of MAGA Catholicism, it is him.

Stephens: I'd say the lowest-quality institutions created since the 1990s have names like Columbia and Berkeley - these are essentially factories of Maoist cadres taught by professors whose political views ranged almost exclusively from the left to the far left. Cottom: I would counter, Bret, that the lowest-quality institutions are the for-profit colleges created as paradigmatic economic theories of exchange value that churned out millions of students in "career ready" fields who found it hard to get a job worth the debt - colleges not unlike the one that our current dear leader once ran as a purely economic enterprise.

Here's proof the simplest things can make the biggest impacts. June 27. 2020 Dear Sara. This is a little bit awkward. But I've waited a really long time to pass this on to you. My wife and I came in for haircuts shortly before Christmas of last year. My wife was suffering from dementia, and you treated her as if you'd been working with dementia patients all your life. You let us sit next to each other, and when it came time for her cut you turned her chair towards me so I could watch her expression as you cut her hair. It turned out even better than I thought it would. Sadly, she died in March. And that haircut was one of the last, best moments of her life. She felt so pretty. She visited the mirror in her bathroom several times during the day and would come out beaming. To see her so happy was priceless. Looking back, it was likely one of dozens of haircuts you gave that day. But one which revitalized a woman's sense of self and her singular beauty. I hope you always realize the power of your profession. It's so easy to take things like that for granted. Sincerely, A gratefül customer
STATEMENT BY LEADER JEFFRIES, WHIP CLARK AND CHAIR AGUILAR ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL IN THE SENATE Instead of working with Democrats in a bipartisan way to prevent a government shutdown, House Republicans left town in order to jam their extreme partisan legislation down the throats of the American people. The far-right Republican funding bill will unleash havoc on everyday Americans, giving Donald Trump and Elon Musk even more power to continue dismantling the federal government. House Democrats are ready to vote for a four-week continuing resolution that keeps the government open and returns all parties to the negotiating table. That is the best way forward. Donald Trump and Republicans are crashing the economy. They plan to take a chainsaw to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits and public schools - all in order to give massive tax cuts to their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations. House Democrats will not be complicit. We remain strongly opposed to the partisan spending bill under consideration in the Senate. HAKEEM JEFFRIES * DEMOCRATIC LEADER +
Dear Senator, I'm contacting you to inform you that I view a vote in favor of the upcoming funding resolution as enabling the Trump administration's continued attacks on the safety and security of the residents of the United States and the Constitution. Below is a list of demands that would need to be met for this view to change: • Restore Constitutional Checks and Balances • Dissolve DOGE • Forbid Elon Musk from further tampering with the Executive Branch • Restore inspectors generals to their posts • Restore and commit to maintaining statutory agencies like the Department of Education • Rescind Schedule F • Protect the Safety and Security of Americans • Pass a budget that reaffirms existing levels of funding for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid • Restore research funding for diseases, illnesses, food safety, etc. • Cease unlawful searches and seizures by immigration enforcement and immediately free Mahmoud Khalil The President and Republicans in Congress have every right to pursue their policy agenda; however, they do not have the right to disregard the law and the Constitution. I also recommend that you publish similar demands and become much more aggressive and assertive in communicating these demands to the American people through all available means. Thank you|
normally would be considered a routine astronaut rotation. Instead, it has become entangled in politics as Trump and Musk have sought - without offering evidence - to blame former President Joe Biden for the delayed return of Wilmore and Williams.
