US President Donald Trump says his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, took responsibility for the leak of US attack plans against the Houthis and distanced himself from the fallout of the controversy.

Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene are trying to defund Sesame Street and dismantle PBS and NPR. Not on our watch. Fire Elon Musk, and Save Elmo.

@RepRobertGarcia PBS gets quite a bit of private funding. Since PBS has chosen to push political agendas it has become absolutely necessary to remove taxpayer funding

@RepRobertGarcia Why should the government pay for it? Why do we have to pay for everything?

@RepRobertGarcia pbs was useful 50 years ago when most people could only get 2 to 4 stations on their tv. i now have about 1000 channels on my tv pbs was created to establish a public broadcasting system in the US, to provide educational, cultural, and informational programming free from

@RepRobertGarcia The people of the United States, who pay for NPR and PBS are the ones that are tired of funding them. How about we fire you along with NPR and PBS?

@RepRobertGarcia PBS and NPR have been partisan for decades. And there are plenty of creators making excellent children's content - we don't need Elmo any more. Sorry, kid. The world survived before Elmo and it will survive after Elmo. So long, my little friend.

@RepRobertGarcia Sesame street hasn't been on PBS in a very long time

@RepRobertGarcia It's time to fight for Sesame Street, PBS, and NPR. Musk and Greene’s defunding push is a reckless attack on education and public media that millions rely on. Save Elmo, ditch the billionaires’ agenda.

Jeffrey Goldberg should have left the Signal chat group as soon as he realized he was added by mistake, the VP of Communications at Gold Institute for International Strategy Saul Montes-Bradley says.

BREAKING: A Russian scientist who opposed Putin’s war, fled Russia & found work at Harvard was detained at Logan Airport returning from a French academic conference and has been sent to an immigration detention center in Louisiana for deportation to Russia https://t.co/tHRM015aMP

Er moet acuut een negatief reisadvies komen voor de Verenigde Staten. Iedereen loopt momenteel het risico om gegijzeld of ontvoerd te worden.

@Billbrowder “Kseniia was detained after undeclared frog embryo samples were found in her luggage” I think it would be helpful that her reason of being detained is highlighted. Otherwise, ppl come to wrong conclusion.

@DesmondShum Normally this would be subject to a $500 dollar fine. It’s an administrative offence. It certainly shouldn’t be a death sentence, which is what it would be if she’s sent back to Russia

@Billbrowder The Full Story: Kseniia Petrova, a bioinformatics researcher, was detained by U.S. authorities at Logan Airport in Boston upon returning from an academic conference in France. The detention occurred approximately a month prior to March 27, 2025. The reason for her arrest stems

@jack_relentless @Billbrowder So why send her to a detention centre for many weeks? Either fine her, which would be the normal outcome, it charge her.

@supergran520 @Billbrowder First, the U.S. immigration system often involves a process that can delay immediate deportation. After her visa revocation, Petrova was likely subjected to an immigration review or hearing to determine her status and eligibility to remain in the country, even temporarily. This

@Billbrowder If the US is deporting Russians who oppose Putin, we must assume the US aligns with Putin's interests. European leaders have responded to the Trump administration with hope, but if this deportation occurs, surely they must abandon it.

@Billbrowder They will kill him in Russia. The United States is making a huge mistake regarding immigration. If he found work at Harvard, I’m sure he’s smart. This country needs smart people. So, because he opposed Putin’s war he was shipped back to Russia? This is awful.

@DianneCallaha16 Who do you mean by "he"? Are you referring to the detention of Kseniia Petrova? She's a woman. She apparently was detained in February by US customs for having undeclared frog embryo bio material in her luggage when returning from France. Current situation not known.

@Billbrowder @KonstantinKisin What is the person’s status? This doesn’t say. If the visa had expired, that *has* been happening. Unless you’ve a green card or permanent visa, you’d better stay put; if your status with ICE is dicey, you’ll get more attention than you want when trying to re-enter.

@Billbrowder Kseniia was detained after undeclared frog embryo samples were found. the researcher was carrying “a sizable box with several cold packs, which was clearly impossible to conceal” I’m sorry but I’m glad TSA is looking into things like this. A Russian bringing this in should

@Billbrowder My son, who is working on nuclear fission. Was envisaging to go to the USA. But with what happens now, just cancelled everything and is trying to find something in Europe, where his expertise would be useful. The USA are loosing at light speed talents from oversea.

@Billbrowder @KonstantinKisin They really shouldn’t be this indiscriminate. If someone teaches at Harvard, you’d think the U.S. would see the value in keeping them. Just think of all the scientists who fled Germany before WWII and made huge contributions. And that’s without even getting into the moral side of

@Billbrowder Out of all Russians here in the States, ICE focused on her? You all may want to hold your opinions because chances are there is more to this.

@Billbrowder @KonstantinKisin Was the person in the US legally? Teaching in a US college is no guarantee, especially at a Leftist college like Harvard. This can't be a serious discussion unless that is addressed in the first sentence.
