SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sen. Murphy (D-Conn.) spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to call out Rep’s latest tax & spending plan for benefitting billionaires etc. at expense of seniors, working families. Pushing tax plan that delivers massive breaks to the ultra-wealthy—paid for by slashing programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Apparently Hegseth didn’t understand the message that says “Don’t submit in advance” when it came to negotiating with Russia over Ukraine. #Munich @timothysnyder.bsky.social

$4.5T in tax cuts. $2T in spending cuts. A $4T debt increase. House Republicans call this “enacting Trump’s full agenda.” In reality, it’s the same old scheme—massive giveaways for the rich, brutal cuts for everyone else, and a growing national debt to pay for it.

Mr. Benjamin Banneker (1731-?) was an inventor who created the first known clock in the US. He was also a mathematician, astronomer, writer, and land surveyor. Mr. Banneker taught himself advanced math from borrowed textbooks. He was a genius. #BlackHistoryMonth

I worked with Tom Robbins briefly directing a musical based on his “children’s” novella “B is for Beer” The show was a beacon of quirky positivity, and so was he. So grateful for what he brought to the world. #RIPTomRobbins www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

Flu cases are exploding nationwide. If you’ve been exposed to the Flu, inquire about Tamiflu for post-exposure prophylaxis. Could prevent a severe complication. And if you wake up with flu-like symptoms, get tested asap. Early test and treat is critical. Stay vigilant. #medsky

ATTN: it might be a good idea to freeze your credit with all three agencies now that Musk has all your info. I froze mine long ago and it’s pretty easy to unfreeze temporarily if you need to.

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.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

My husband works at State in counterterrorism. Our allies will be increasingly loath to share sensitive intelligence because our systems are absolutely compromised. This “DOGE” breach puts every American in danger.

I'll never stop being amazed that birds have no problem coordinating actual nurseries so they can take care of the chicks while others go hunt for food, but humans can't get childcare figured out. Butterflies can coordinate & migrate in peace- but humans just can't figure out how to COOPERATE🤦🏻‍♀️

I encourage anyone outraged by Trump-Musk attempting to control the universe to support Marc Elias and DemocracyDocket.com. He is the lawyer behind the suits now in court to stop the illegal actions. He also won the 60+ suits in 2020 over The Lie. He has an organized opposition.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

🧵 RFK claimed that there were 30 million babies covered by Medicaid, while the actual number is just 1.4 million (41%). Let me break this down in a simpler way to help you understand why this matters, a lot. 👇👇(1/6)
