@CalltoActivism This man is a disgrace 😤

🚨OH - MY - GOD!!! Trump has a total MELTDOWN and loses his freaking mind live on 60 Minutes. He literally shouts: "I'M NOT A PEDOPHILE." "I’M NOT A RAPIST." "YOU’RE A DISGRACE." Trump snapped when the reporter read part of the shooter’s manifesto, but here’s the thing: SHE NEVER SAID IT WAS TRUMP. This is a total DISASTER.

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.

Thomas Massie just sounded the alarm: Congress is on the verge of handing Monsanto total immunity to mass poison Americans with glyphosate. This is existential for MAHA. “If farmers contract a form of cancer … from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill, you won’t be able to sue.” Instead of pushing to repeal Big Pharma’s vaccine liability shield, Trump and his cronies are trying to expand immunity for even more poison. It’s a complete betrayal of MAHA. And it would cause vastly more harm than all of the benefits that MAHA has done combined. @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY

@ECOWARRIORSS We need to do better as humans, but I fear it may be too late 💔💔

No ferns, no brush, no flowers, and definitely no wildlife. Everything was dead except for rows of hand-planted baby trees. Weed killer Roundup is being sprayed in record amounts in California’s forests motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Breaking news: Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation’s nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were terminated from their positions Friday by President Trump. wapo.st/4eDLPO4

“I told her, ‘I’m next to you.’ She told me, ‘Don’t fall asleep and leave me.’ I said, ‘No, no.’ Then exhaustion took over. I closed my eyes for a moment. Then I heard Amal scream. They struck the room again. Amal was gone.” Reporter Zeinab Faraj recounts the harrowing hours her and journalist Amal Khalil waited for evacuation, as Israeli strikes pursued them, while preventing rescuers from reaching them.

🚨 Rachel Maddow nailed it: Republicans just voluntarily gave Jack Smith the biggest platform in Congress to spell out in public, under oath every piece of evidence of Trump’s criminal behavior. What an absolutely brain-dead own-goal. The evidence, the documents, the witnesses, the recordings… all coming straight from the man who investigated him. This is going to be brutal. 🍿

There goes freedom of the press and expression.

Trump’s own words last week: “We can’t take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.” This week, he says he’s ready to bail out the United Arab Emirates. The man who ran on America First is telling American families they’re on their own while offering a financial lifeline to a wealthy Gulf state whose sovereign wealth fund has poured billions into his family’s businesses. Can’t afford day care. Can’t afford healthcare. Can’t afford to help families keep the heat on. Can afford a bailout for the UAE. Tell me again who America First was supposed to be for. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/…

Eric Trump gets a massive Pentagon contract. Melania gets a movie. Donald Trump gets millions in payouts and crypto. They’re all cashing in. And the corruption is killing our economy.

Before it even opened, Sloth World saw 31 sloths die after being kept in unsafe conditions. I’ve called on the Secretary of Agriculture and USDA to investigate Sloth World, protect any surviving sloths, and prevent more from being brought in. We cannot allow this to continue.

Earlier this week, I visited the "Dead Sea of Texas" - Lake Boehmer, in Pecos County. Don't be fooled, this 'water' is highly toxic and this 'lake' is a massive environmental disaster. The RRC *should* be fighting to address this - but instead they let this leak go on for years:

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it. This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it. nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/…

Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon.

Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year.

I join the Committee to Protect Journalists & others in demanding an international investigation and accountability for her death. apnews.com/article/lebane…

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."

Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers. 
Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.
