But does it ban the U.S. from the U.N. Security Council? That would be a win for the rest of the world. I wish the U.S. were the good guy & actually cared for human rights for all people around the world. Get the U.S. out of the UNSC & let the world heal itself. #LegislationStation

Quite the cold record here. A daily min record of -32°F at Broken Bow, Nebraska on 2/20/2025 with the old record -18°F set in 1918. That's breaking a 107-year-old record by 14 degrees. Brrr! @bhensonweather.bsky.social @extremetemps.bsky.social @donsutherland1.bsky.social

There’s a lot going on. The budget is full of drastic cuts to vital services, but we must also remind Congress to look at bills that we need for the future like the 100%Clean Economy Act. So for further Friday and Weekend Action, here’s a few you may not have seen:

Well, turns out there’s another layer to his dubious background. According to independent journalist Jacob Silverman, Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov, a former KGB spy. Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division… gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

New Mexico’s congressional delegation pushed back against what they called the “unlawful mass firings” of federal workers around the nation in a letter to Trump. In a news release, they estimated around 2,200 employees in New Mexico could be impacted by the mass terminations.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
