Tens of thousands of transgender soldiers have served America with bravery and distinction. Zero Donald Trumps have.

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

“What this country has is a mental health crisis.” “Oh, a crisis? That’s bad. Let’s make sure folks have access to—” “No.” “What?” “No offering them anything. No access. No care. There’s no money. And taking care of them would be like, communism or something. Bye.”

The shame of this administration (and all of the people giving them cover) knows no bounds

Knowing we have a coordinated effort of enough people and unions and leaders. Knowing there are strike funds and mutual aid in place. Knowing we can clearly articulate our demands and call of the strike when they are met.

Using AI to write a college paper is like using a forklift to lift weights at the gym

Dear Democratic Party, Fund state-level resistance infrastructure. Don’t just send postcards. Send resources. Channel DNC funds into rapid-response teams, legal defense coalitions, sanctuary networks, and digital security training.

Rubio has like 9 jobs right now and he couldn’t even handle the first one.

Florida’s about to ban fluoride in drinking water—because nothing says “freedom” like letting your kid’s teeth rot out by age 10. The state that drinks soda by the gallon and bathes in swamp juice just outlawed the one thing keeping jaws from falling off. Welcome to DeSantisland: The State of the ??

What do I even do with these two??? #catpics

I really like the idea of a Sunday Sit-In. Make it a regular thing? There's plenty to talk about every week and it felt like a very approachable forum. @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , well done today. Thanks for being willing to be adaptive and try new things and take risks.

At issue is a case testing the reach of federal laws that promise special help for children with disabilities in public schools. Specifically: What do parents have to prove in order to get that specialized help?

Stop upsetting Luke. It doesn't end well. Well spoken young man that he is. #USDemocracy

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

I think it’s time we stop taking advice from people who haven’t won an election in a year that starts with 2 also do it James- sue me.

I was quite surprised to hear a story about nitrogen fixation when listening to the news on NPR. 🌊

Me too.

now they must agree on a system of self-government, allocate available resources to the greater good, and assign consequences to those who opposed the eventual victors

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Happy Easter

the most cruel administration of all time. them being this outwardly evil genuinely might be their downfall in the end

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

Texans-please spend some time today dropping thankful emails to James Talarico, Erin Zwiener, and Chris Turner who stood strong in the face of vouchers. They deserve our thanks.

Nothing to see here but Florida's royal family laundering public funds into the royal family's campaign slush fund. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

It's been a rough week for the NOAA family, including feds, contractors, and scientists across this country / world. I need to say something very important. It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Dreary Thursday #Photography

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Wore my favorite shirt from Heather to #HandsOffSTL today.
