Today the Netanyahu regime once again unilaterally broke the ceasefire, bombed Gaza, and killed at least 112 more Palestinian civilians with the majority being women and children. And in response the US Senate voted 85-15 to send Netanyahu more bombs to drop on Palestinians. This is genocide.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Nice explainer on why letting H5N1 rip (yes, it was proposed by RFK Jr.) is a terrible, ignorant, and flat-out dangerous idea for many reasons... Kudos to @drjenndowd.bsky.social 🛟📉🧪 policy

If I try to charge a USB device from my government client it will alert IT to will send someone to my office to investigate but Musk's crew is just casually setting up their own WH/EEOB wifi, no vetting no ATO, and replacing fiber with slower Starlink. Lol nothing matters

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Want to know why it matters that Cathy Harris won her TRO against Trump and was reinstated as Chair of the Merit Systems Protection Board? This is why. Employees Trump/Musk illegally fired are now reinstated, with more to come. She, like Hampton Dellinger, is a backstop to all this illegality.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

Crazy question but is there a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs right now? there's never a gap. Brown is out but Caine needs to be confirmed by the Senate. He also I think needs probably a couple waivers. I assume the responsibilities devolve on the Vice Chair. But still seems pretty weird.

Un-freaking believable. Ukraine is not included in peace talks….so Trump just gives their land, which they fought and died for, to Putin. Trump isn’t just stupid, he’s PURE EVIL.

Cool, Putin gets premium treatment as a revered dear partner as well as everything he has stolen and even much more -- Ukraine gets a spit in the face, an extorted $500 billion bill, no security guarantees, and a new Russian offensive to kill it as soon as Russia is ready. The Art of the Deal.
