Protect PBS and NPR!

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

An incomplete list of Musk's accomplishments in government: 🚨disrupting critical HIV programs around the world 🚨harassing federal employees with insulting emails 🚨paralyzing national parks 🚨firing the scientists working to prevent bird flu Want to add to the list? Comment below!

We won’t allow the government to force religion on our students. Texas, we’ll see you in court.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

“Now would be a very good time for Washington to bring back its debt obsession,” Rogé Karma writes:

Correct, Harvard today the rest of the universities tomorrow

If there’s money for a parade, there’s money for Medicaid.

About that $14 trillion Trump claims to have raised over the past few weeks... He made it up. The tell: The White House won't send receipts The other tell: He's claiming that every dollar a Qatari earns over the next 5 years will be invested in the US www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

If the Supreme Court is going to force taxpayers to pay for religious education, they'd damn well better let the government tax churches.

House Democrat Says It’s ‘Batsh*t Crazy’ That He Has to Introduce Amendment to Prevent Citizen Deportations

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

"I’ve now come to the same conclusion that hundreds of my fellow Afghan combat veterans have: We will have to protect our Afghan allies from the very government that ordered us to befriend them."

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women Unreal www.science.org/content/arti...

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Possibly the best interview of all-time

The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story: 1: It's all lies 2: Most of it is lies 3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter 4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it 5. F**k you

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Buff-tailed Coronet is a great Andean hummingbird with little white boots. #Colombia #birds #nature 🌿

“You can’t find a more exciting historical story.” 250 years after Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride, we followed the 16-mile route and spoke to people who felt a sense of wonder about that April night. nyti.ms/4cPQeun

We love Bluesky don’t we?

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
