This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY. Republicans are just choosing not to. Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.

I hope everyone who is upset about "cancel culture" will find it similarly alarming that companies are too terrified of government retaliation to say anything critical about a policy that's seriously harming them. Seems maybe also bad?

These bans were hard won and are backed by lots of science. PFAS chemicals cause cancer (kidney and testicular) and are linked to pregnancy problems and liver and thyroid disorders. And make vaccines less effective. They really are trying to kill us. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Protests being cringe is fine. South Korea just threw out their right wing president and their protests are full of families, glow sticks, goofy flags, free iced coffee, and K-pop. It's the numbers that matter.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers. I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly why I'm voting NO—let's pass my bill to prevent a shutdown ASAP.

The House GOP CR gives RFK Jr. exactly what Trump promised: a free pass to commandeer hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and set them on fire, relitigating disproven theories about autism and sowing distrust about vaccines amid a measles outbreak that is killing children.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

I hope that in addition to no purchases from evil douchebags, folks can also resist and avoid their stupid platforms today. Our attention is one of their favorite products.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)
