Millions of Americans’ safe commutes, and tens of thousands of good construction jobs, depend on the Gateway project. It’s one of the largest and longest-awaited transportation projects in modern US history. Now Trump is canceling it, apparently to spite Chuck Schumer, harming
Trump: And we're cutting them permanently. We're cutting a $20 billion project that Schumer fought for 15 years to get, and I'm cutting the project. The project is going to be dead. It is pretty much dead right now

AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage. But he doesn't want people based on their political affiliation to benefit.

AOC: If I, as a Democrat, disagree with you as a Republican, I'm not going to question your allegiance to this country. And I believe that when we devolve into that, that is when we are actually stoking division—when we call those who disagree with us un-american—that is what is

- Immigrates to US at 15 dirt-poor - Undergrad at Hudson Valley Community College & SUNY Albany - PhD at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - NSF postdoc at Harvard ... Nobel Prize! A testament to the US education and research system and the US would be poorer without it!
This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to

As the son of an undocumented immigrant (my mom overstayed an au pair visa for years before marrying my dad, a U.S. citizen), it’s deeply personal: Reddit wouldn’t exist if ICE had come for her. I do think border security matters. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of crushing
Later we'll find it hard to believe that masked thugs were dragging people off the street at gunpoint. At least I hope we will, since the other alternative would be to decline into the kind of country where that's normal.

The immune system is powerful. Sometimes, too powerful. If it goes unchecked, it can turn on us - attacking our own organs, tissues, even our blood. That’s why the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine matters so much. It honors three scientists who figured out how the body stops

27 million pounds of chicken 2 million gallons of milk 67 million eggs That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks. https://t.co/Mwn8GJUozt

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s...

STATES CANNOT INVADE ONE ANOTHER. This is so simple -- so fundamental to America -- I cannot believe I have to type those words. America is on the brink of martial law.
I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials. You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it. No Guard can match the training, skill, and

In front of this audience, this statement is wrong... and scary. He is supposed to be the president of the United States of ALL Americans, not just his party. Polarization is destroying our country at home and making us weaker abroad.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens. DO NOT STAY SILENT in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States!
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

It is outrageous and illegal for Trump to withhold money from states that didn't vote for him. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to rescind federal funding that has already been appropriated by Congress.

The Trump administration does not have the right to rescind federal funding to states for the “crime” of voting against Donald Trump in the election. That is outrageous, blatantly unconstitutional and illegal. This action must be overturned.

I fear the public will never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research system and its consequences. A loss of ~$4.5 billion in frozen or cancelled grants with at least 148 impacted clinical trials = 138,000 patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.
