Exclusive: a Nature analysis signals the beginnings of a US science brain drain A trawl of job views and application data suggests jobseekers are looking abroad as the Trump administration’s cuts to science take hold.

Under this administration, scientists have been ignored, discredited, and dismissed. It's no surprise they would leave the U.S.

This loss of talent and expertise will devastate our global leadership and competitive edge.

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committeeβ€”the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Neo-Nazis targeted a majority-Black town. Locals launched an armed watch. Residents of Lincoln Heights, Ohio, have organized armed guards after a neo-Nazi march and the spread of Ku Klux Klan leaflets rocked the Cincinnati suburb.

"'When we saw that the police wasn’t helping us, every able-bodied man in the neighborhood, with or without a gun, has stood guard and has been standing guard ever since,' said Dominic Brewton Jr., who runs a maintenance and repair company in the town..."

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

Republicans play dumb on Medicaid cuts The GOP is engaged in bad-community-theater levels of disingenuousness.

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."

Dear Speaker Johnson and Elon Musk:

When will Republicans also demand "work requirements" for presidents⁉️

Asking for every American taxpayer who didn't have the government fund over $10 million in golf trips this month while "DOGE" was slashing government spending.
