#MangoMussolini is trying to make massive cuts to NOAA and NWS and has put someone with literally no experience in charge of FEMA just in time for hurricane season. This feels like grounds for #impeachment due to willful endangerment of possibly millions of American citizens.

Hey @bleachereport.bsky.social can you stop spamming Patriots page with Belichic tabloid fodder? Not only does it have nothing to do with sports, but he hasn't been a part of the patriot's org for years now

Just in case we didn't already have enough of a teacher shortage already #saveeducation

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Watching the #warriors and # rockets in the #nbaplayoffs. If the rockets lose this series, their coaches should tell every single one of their players that all they will be doing all off-season is shooting free throws. 58% from the line as a team for the series?? Completely unacceptable.

I know I’m not a genius Democratic operative who is paid $400k a year to oversee 6 straight swing district losses to used car salesmen but maybe mentioning how the GOP moved heaven and earth to grant asylum to sex trafficker Andrew Tate would undermine their messaging on immigration a bit

This is why history is important. Teddy Roosevelt would be absolutely raging seeing what's happening now.

Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

Hey, remember the baby formula incident? This will only make things like that more common, only we won't know where the compromised product is coming from and we will be counting on these massive corps to police themselves. #protectfda

We all know the Dems are terrible at marketing/messaging. What sort of message would you like to see them rally behind? I still think something centered around election reform and campaign finance reform is the key. "Take Back the Power" is the slogan.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.

Went to the local #HandsOff protest in Edmonds, WA. Local celebrity Rick Steves flew all the way back from Istanbul last night to be here and give a speech. I'd say between 1200-1500 strong. Not bad for a small suburb.

"Take Back America's Future" This is what Dems need to run on over the next 4 years. Have it be almost solely about election and campaign finance reform. #takebackamericasfuture

I think we all need to start referring to DOGE as DOG E and pronounce it as "doggy." I feel this would def piss off Musk and anything that does that is a good thing.

If you live in WA state and feel we need a better healthcare system, please contact your state reps about this bill. www.heraldnet.com/news/everett...

They suck equally hard.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

We won't be able to count on the government to protect our rivers, streams, and lakes, so we must take it upon ourselves. Consider joining your local branch of the Global Water Watch or start one if your area doesn't have one. Use science to combat ignorance. #GlobalWaterWatch #science #enrvironment

My eight year old suggests that we just have TikTok every other day and, honestly, yes.

You think there's any chance we could keep Trump pissed off at random things for the next 4 years to keep him too distracted to actually do anything? #MangoMussolini #TangerineTyrant
