🦬 I have now heard from several colleagues that Michael Nedd, the Deputy Director for Administration at the BLM, was escorted out of the Interior building earlier today. Unclear if it’s related to this article or not.

The American public is being subjected to a disinformation campaign by our own government. The HHS Secretary, NIH Director, and FDA Director are knowingly and willingly passing along utterly false information about vaccines. Every Republican supports this, without exception.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Reminder that the "Big Beautiful Bill" that they're ramming through Congress w/o debate is Trump's fascist wish list. One item is a restriction on the "authority of federal courts to hold gov't officials in contempt when they violate court orders" If passed, judicial orders will be meaningless.

Elon Musk doesn't care about efficiency, and here's the proof: I called for an investigation into Musk's cuts at the IRS. Because he fired so many staff that audit wealthy tax cheats, we could lose $323 BILLION in tax revenue over the next decade. Nothing efficient about that.
