“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and town over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along.”
— President Trump, quoted by the New York Times.
Politico- A federal judge is raising alarms that the Trump administration deported a two-year-old US citizen to Honduras with “no meaningful process,” even as the child’s father was frantically petitioning the courts to keep her in the country. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/25/us-citizen-deportation-donald-trump-00311631

Do they accept submissions from scientists with “competing viewpoints”? What do they do if the authors whose work they published “may have misled their readers”? Are they transparent about influence from “supporters, funders, advertisers & others”?
News of the letter to #NEJM was reported earlier by STAT, a health news outlet.
#EdMartin also asked about the role of the #NIH, which funds some of the #research the journals publish, & the agency’s role “in the development of submitted articles.”

@MissGayle Hurricanes tend to hit Southern (red) States. Of course, with them messing with both FEMA and NOAA, we'll never know.

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE – Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.
“This president is a master of distraction and is destroying what it took 250 years to build. Here’s another distraction in his quest for attention. Another failure of his first 100 days,” said North Carolina Rep. Alma Adams, responding to efforts to physically remove the Greensboro, North Carolina, Woolworth’s lunch counter exhibit from the National Museum of African American History and Culture—affectionately known as the “Blacksonian.”

Noah's Ark, an organization that works to provide housing to Americans with disabilities were planning to use tax credits from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act to build a solar garden that would have funded their work.
Now, since Republicans took power, they have to evict the disabled Americans instead.
