Oh. The Inspector General for USAID was investigating a public-private partnership involving Elon Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government right before Musk shut the agency down.

It appears the VA site for grant applications to help homeless veterans is down. Unsure if this is a glitch, or the end of assistance for homeless vets.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

You can’t budget your way out of being price-gouged on basic necessities while being paid less than a living wage. Gen Z doesn’t need financial literacy. They need economic policies that aren’t designed to exploit them to satisfy the greed of the top .01%

Re: government funding 170 Republicans voted yes. 34 voted no. 196 Democrats voted yes. Zero voted no. Once again, Democrats do the responsible thing and save the GOP from themselves. Thank you, Speaker Jeffries.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

God forbid they cut money from President Musk’s Defense contracts. Instead they’ll cut off research and healthcare to kids bc ya know they’re pro-life.

Under Chair Lina Khan, the FTC just voted to ban junk fees in hotels and live-event ticketing. This is exactly what government working for the people looks like. The lone no vote against this rule? Trump's pick for FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson. The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Yeah, and we didn't prosecute the ring leader either. As a matter of fact, we just put him in the White House. Nothing makes sense anymore.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson *(One of the most prescient things ever said by anybody.)

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.
