"We believe it’s important for us, as a news organization, to put humanity first as often as possible—and then contextualize the underlying politics in those terms. We should not treat the lives of people as mere pawns in a partisan game," Ashton Pittman writes. buff.ly/N4pjvag

After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/5)

Absolutely! This is what needs to happen. And if I get one more request for a donation from a Democratic politician… I mean, how clueless can you get?!

Horrifying

A bill to create a statewide board to study domestic violence deaths squeaked through in the waining hours of the 2025 Legislature.

Finally! Seems like they’re trying to do something. Still watching. www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Here’s my smart strong sister working to prevent wildcat drilling in one of our last pristine river basins. Help spread the word and consider contacting Gov DeSantis and tell him to Kill The Drill. youtube.com/watch?v=cDZS...

DOUBLE your impact today and you’ll expand the news American needs now. Your gift, no matter the size, is matched dollar for dollar. buff.ly/SmUnV54

Senator Marshall has nothing to offer. Wow it’s a stunning saying that’s spreading across America. I hope this will wake up people.

After the embarrassments in the White House today accused Zelensky of not being thankful and not saying 'thank you'.. 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴. Zelensky has taken to Twatter, posting individual thank yous to every single world leader expressing solidarity with Ukraine. 😆 🇺🇦

Ukraine is being destroyed by Russian bombs but at least they have a President they can be proud of.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Our country is gone. I don’t know if there’s any coming back someone out there please give me some hope. thehill.com/regulation/c...

So, friends, we have finally found some "waste, fraud, and abuse" in the federal government. $400m worth, and it is from Musk himself. He's just outright stealing money now.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I called my representative in Washington for this specific thing this morning and spoke to someone in his office. This is such an FU to us constituents. I do know who to vote against if we ever have a legitimate election again. Damn, this is bad.

HOT DAMN! I love this woman. At least y’all got one breath of fresh air in TX. youtube.com/watch?v=gvv-...
