Maybe simplistic, yet feels true: the bad guys are all working together. So the good people need to work together too.

That's an amazingly powerful way to look at it... "The USA is the only country on the planet that employs more people in Health Insurance than it employs as Doctors and Nurses. Most of your money is spent BLOCKING your own treatment."

Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: It's interesting to me that the people that are going after waste, fraud, and abuse would do away first with the division, whose job it was to guard against improper payments, waste fraud and abuse... This is totally irresponsible.

Last session, a dozen of the Massachusetts Legislature’s committees did not hold a single hearing or consider a single bill. This session, Democratic leaders have brought all those panels back, and in many cases kept the same committee chairs.

A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website, called RestoredCDC.org, as it appeared the day President Trump was inaugurated. "I felt that we could restore any data sets that people might not have access to anymore because these were publicly funded data."

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

The United States doesn’t support Ukraine as a favor, but because it serves our security. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky. Putin started the war, not Zelensky. Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

It sucks so much that the best and smartest and most dedicated public servants have been driven out to make room for the most craven, cruel, and selfish idiots known to humanity. We had something good going and many are only realizing it now that it’s being recklessly dismantled.
