@maddow.msnbc.com Not my dog, but it was a sweet Doggo at the Boise, ID Hands Off rally !!!

An Idaho man was arrested after allegedly striking a counterprotester with his car during a protest at a Tesla dealership Saturday, according to the Meridian Police Department.

@repjasmine.bsky.social you’re an excellent lawyer- any chance that you could maybe do a daily “Executive Order Watch” and breakdown the legalese of them? So that the public can be more aware of what the president is quietly doing?

President Trump’s moves to slash the federal workforce have gutted the ranks of wildland firefighters and support personnel, fire professionals warn, leaving communities to face deadly consequences when big blazes arrive this summer

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

If Musk compromises the Social Security Administration in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks. If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by House Oversight and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

@repjasmine.bsky.social there’s been talk on social media about H.R.8281 - SAVE Act impacting married women’s right to vote due to their married name not matching their birth certificate. Thoughts?

Trump is gonna lose his shit when he sees this

@maddow.msnbc.com reported planning a visit to my (local) US senator’s office today after work. Have your people DM me if they would like details.

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy." James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

What a monstrous thing to do. He assured her it would matter. Then voted for Hegseth. Tillis is a coward.

Veterans EARNED their healthcare. Republicans are ripping it away—slashing funding, blocking benefits, and forcing Veterans into a system that will fail them. We won’t stand by while they spit on those who served. Save veterans' healthcare! #SaveVeteransHealthCare

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

SOME GOOD NEWS

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

Accurate. Repost if you agree.

Billionaires who profit from citizens have a duty to fund public health. Strong healthcare ensures societal well-being and sustains the workforce that fuels their wealth. It’s the least they can do for equitable growth.

Weird. 🤔

Musk explains his X algorithm

South Korean lawmakers have already moved to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol after his martial law fiasco. That’s what courage in the legislative branch looks like. Too bad we have none of that here.
