Was your vote counted? Everyone should watch this.

Can you spot someone who is drowning? Use an AED with confidence or treat severe bleeding? Each year, I share a series of short videos to help refresh important first aid skills. The whole series can be reviewed on a coffee break. caitlinrivers.substack.com/p/how-to-sav...

So very sad

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in all 50 states in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC.

Republicans have included 300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips. You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids' school lunch.

House Republicans' budget bill, which redirects funding from impoverished communities to finance tax cuts mainly for the wealthy, coincides with Trump hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who paid $394 million for access. Who do they truly represent? Not true Americans!

Our Rotary club supports Otsego County NY food programs, including Saturday's Bread. The program coordinator spoke at our meeting, tearfully discussing the impact of $300 billion in food stamp cuts. I hope Musk isn't going hungry. 😬

House Republicans pass a budget bill that favors the rich, while Trump hosts investors who spent $394 million to access him, revealing who they truly serve. They worship the golden cafe.

The Rep. tax-and-spending cut bill would take from the poor and give to the rich, according to Congress. The bill cuts fed. healthcare & food assistance programs, leaving at least 9 million without healthcare & cutting $300 billion from food assistance programs through 2034.

Cancer affects individuals regardless of their political beliefs. Compassion should be administered in the same manner. Disappointingly, this is not always true.

Tuesday's Senate Committee hearings revealed Administration officials' disregard for their responsibilities and refusal to provide effective governance, instead prioritizing personal financial gain and power. 🤥💸👎

US oil firms pumping secret chemicals into ground & not fully reporting it in CO. Suppliers are to list all chemicals used in drilling and extraction, while also banning any use of Pfas “forever chemicals” at oil and gas sites. Chevron,is by far the most serious offender!

I've always loved this one. The baby raccoons

The Republican's big beautiful bill aims to: Support the billionaires today, compromise the middle class tomorrow. That's not beautiful, that's ugly. 🤔💸🚫

Jobs traditionally done by women are more vulnerable to the impact of artificial intelligence than those done by men, especially in high-income countries, a report by the United Nations’ International Labour Organization shows.

Former President Joe Biden thanked well-wishers Monday for their support after his personal office announced he has cancer. www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe...

@cnn.com THERE IS A LUNATIC IN THE WHITE HOUSE! THIS IS NOT NORMAL NOW DO YOUR JOB CNN REPORT THIS!

Make no mistake-- they're coming for your free speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtMy...

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it: The expulsion of expertise from government and academia during Mao's Cultural Revolution devastated China for decades, particularly in science and technology. That profound harm led the country to take education as seriously as it does today. wapo.st/3YTivKW

You might want to sit this one out, Ann.

Good idea

Trump and Musk were responsible for these deaths. Warnings were not in place because of cutbacks.

I've been saying this for 9 years

On our way the Skidmore College Graduation . Good job Gavin!

A murderer, a felon, and a terrorist walk into a bar...

Over the past decade of reporting on Donald Trump, one lesson has become apparent: when it seems he cannot sink any lower, he consistently finds a way. Hopefully, this marks his lowest point. The Constitution guarantees legal due process to everyone in the United States, regardless of citizenship

I agree with @aoc.bsky.social. The math isn't adding up in the Republicans' "big, beautiful bill."

Friends.. I urge you to seize this moment and join your local Democratic Party today. Don't wait until the midterms to make your voice heard. Instead, be proactive, prepared, and empowered to contribute. The next election season is approaching within the next 12 months. ⏰🗳️👏
