The Municipal Police of Madrid has published the video of Paco's training exercises, the hero dog who saves and performs cardiac massage (CPR) on the officer who fainted (as a simulation), and it's winning hearts worldwide. ❤️

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

This woman received a letter approving her late husband’s Immigration Status two months after he was killed in a iCE detention center shooting in Dallas!

The ID I can use to fly wouldn’t be enough to vote. The SAVE Act is not a voter ID law, it’s voter suppression.

HAPPENING NOW: Democratic Caucuses Condemn DHS Targeting and Removal of DACA Recipients x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

DACA recipients are losing their work authorization and status, not because they did anything wrong, but because the Trump Administration refuses to process their claims in a timely manner. Dreamers deserve better than the undue stress and anxiety that these delays create.

@CameronCorduroy I had a $600,000 over 5 years NSF Physics grant terminated last year because our grant mentioned "polarization" which was included in the banned terms list. We were discussing the polarization of light. We never got the grant reinstated.

@aliciaandrz Welcome back! One day at a time!!

those of you who’ve followed me for a while know I got 2 years of sobriety then relapsed during a major depressive episode. I thought I wouldn’t be alive much longer, so it didn’t matter. I’ve been struggling ever since but I’m proud to say today is two weeks sober. we carry on.

Here is our updated database of grants for early careers researchers in all fields. It goes way beyond traditional NIH and NSF funding opportunities. We list 428 types of grants. Download it here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

Thomas Massie just revealed his nuclear option. If Pam Bondi’s DOJ refuses to unredact the Epstein client names - Massie will walk onto the House floor and read them publicly himself. RT if you support this ☝️

@Brad604 Thanks for sharing! I remember thinking magical when it snowed once in spring in Chicago and we already had bright green buds on the trees

I captured some awesome videos today. But this is the shot. We don't get to see Snowflakes falling on our Cherry Blossoms in Vancouver, BC every year. In Japan it is considered a moment of intense, rare, and magical good luck. This isn't something all over the world gets to experience. This was a rare moment to be captured on video. Hope others got this lucky in Vancouver today. Another possible chance may happen Thursday night! #bcstorm #shareyourweather

Se hizo una convocatoria pública para que todos los trombonistas de Nueva York llevaran su instrumento y despidieran a Willie Colón hoy, a la salida de su féretro de la Catedral de San Patricio, donde se celebró una misa en su honor. Mira el resultado:

At Edinburgh Zoo, Gentoo penguins are beginning their breeding season. Children supported by Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to present to their mates,

If you don’t believe ICE needs to be abolished then read this story: Waldir Chirinos, a Union County resident, developed a high fever while detained at Delaney Hall. ICE took no action until he suffered a seizure. At the hospital, he was restrained to his bed. His wife was denied any updates on his condition. This comes after Jean Wilson Brutus lost his life while being detained at Delaney Hall. These stories and so many others which I’ve heard during my visits to Delaney Hall and EDC are why I will continue to fight to end the use of privately run, for-profit immigration detention centers and why I will do everything to end ICE. nj.com/union/2026/03/…

Kash Patel and other Justice Department officials shut down a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s killing. Unacceptable. The truth must come out.

@libsoftiktok Uh, not when they prevent your folks from voting, which no one denies happens in Texas in every election!

Jasmine Crockett suggests there was cheating in her election I thought questioning election results was a threat to our democracy and it’s impossible for any cheating to happen?!

NIH is shutting down some study sections. E.g.,
