This is how it’s done.

Why am I only reading about this in my small local newspaper?

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

$585 million here, $585 million there and pretty soon you're talking real money! ☺️ www.businessinsider.com/europe-pensi...

EVERY FUCKING WORD OF THIS! We have to take the gloves off! So listen up @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org We are ready to fight! And if you fight, know that we will stand beside you every step of the way!

Take yourself somewhere beautiful this weekend and take a break from all the ugliness. I'm gonna do it so I don't lose my mind.

California Polluters Pay Superfund Act LFGooooooooo #SB684 #AB1243 📢 Tell lawmakers: Pass this bill! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

The DOJ is investigating UnitedHealthcare over billing fraud to funnel extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the Wall Street Journal reports. UnitedHealthcare shares have already dropped 9% since the story broke.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

California off to a strong clean electricity start with solar up 33.8% in 2025 www.pv-magazine.com/2025/02/21/c... PV Magazine

This is a very bad idea. Cutting methane emissions is a key “emergency brake” to help stop climate change. Plus, it improves air quality and improves energy security and safety.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

7 days straight (and 23 out of 51 in 2025) with >100% #WindWaterSolar on the CAISO grid for part of the day on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Gas use is down 28%, WWS output is up 18%, and battery output is up 80% versus same dates in 2024. In comparison with 2023, battery output is up 187%.

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

I used @5calls.org to call Rep Troy Balderson and Senators Husted & Bernie Moreno today I asked them if we could count on them to protect Medicaid All 3 offices replied "I can't say" "I CAN'T SAY?! AKFKM? This is one of the most urgent matters of the day FFS! #OHpol #Ohio

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Another utility, Xcel, says it will be carbon pollution free by 2035. We can do this for the whole country, if we only try! Don't lose faith, folks. Progress is still possible. www.startribune.com/xcel-says-it...

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

jesusfuckingchrist

Yup. He just wants to destroy Biden's work whether it hurts the auto industry, workers, threatens health due to #airpollution or accelerates #climatechange ! Want to defy Trump switch to an #electricvehicle Auto makers r building their own charging systems go to rideanddriveclean.org for more info

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

I don't think I can explain completely just how nauseating this '51st state' talk is - or just how important hockey is to Canadians - or how good it feels to beat the US team last night. But the current PM makes a pretty good stab at it.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

DOGE By The Numbers theonion.com/doge-by...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸
