ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Thank you @corybooker.com

The National Weather Service will stop issuing forecasts + storm warnings in Spanish after a translation software contract lapsed at midnight Tuesday. Unclear when/if service will return. Scoop with @weathersullivan.bsky.social (free link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you or someone you know got laid off by Trump & Elon today, consider running for local office and bringing your expertise into leadership. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

Missouri constituents in Sam Graves’s 6th congressional district have had it with Sam not showing up or listening to concerns. They have created a “flat Sam” tour complete with a cardboard cutout with all of his “sponsors” listed. He’s traveling from county to county for empty seat townhalls.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you haven't loved her enough." Corey Booker, just now.

Imagine that the five most overconfident boys at your local high school, who learned how to use a hammer last semester, are planning to tear down your entire city and rebuild it from scratch using guidance from a Speak and Spell

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

The FTC has pending lawsuits against Amazon, Meta, & Google. Trump is trying to gut the FTC by firing two Democratic commissioners. The NLRB is fighting against Amazon & SpaceX in court for violating workers' rights. Trump tried to gut the NLRB. See the problem here?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

By Arthur Caplan: "many scientists and administrators now seem to think that the best response to the war on DEI is to keep their heads low and wait out four hard years." "the only way forward is speaking truth to power."

This is an enormous blow to health—mRNA vaccines have been good not just for Covid but cancers. It's also a huge driver of biomedical research and industry. Guess all that science, and revenue will go to other countries www.mskcc.org/news/can-mrn...

Little man just stole my heart! 😂💙

Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

It’s actually true.

Here are some of Schumer's book tour stops. I'm not saying protest these, but someone might end up doing that.

NEWS: We polled our locals yesterday before Schumer's surrender asking what they would do to hold accountable Senate Dems who cave on the GOP bill. 67% said they'd show up at town halls or public events to express their anger. 78% said they'd support primary challenges. We'll see where this goes.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

Sen Dems vote against CR. Then demand a new minority leader.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I just called Gillibrand ((202) 224-4451). She's the one I call as a mere *constituent.* I left a message saying "The vote on cloture MUST BE NO. The Fake out to the 30 CR JUST SO Republicans can pass their bill with 51 votes is treachery. The vote must be NO." Feel free to us my script. :)

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Strongly agree

If this is real - and we should verify it is - we all really HAVE to demonstrate we have Senate Dems' backs. Next week is congressional recess. If this holds, be ready with a loud and enthusiastic THANK YOU if you have a Dem Senator. This is how we build a unified opposition party.

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

They could have just voted for Harris and given the money to charity and taken the tax deduction 🤷‍♀️

It’s borderline criminal.

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!
