“We speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education.” Colleges are finally standing up to Trump, taking their lead and nerve from Harvard, whose sharp response clearly stunned the White House.

OPINION: "DOGE has secured unprecedented access to at least seven sensitive federal databases, including those of the IRS and Social Security Administration," Allison Stanger writes. buff.ly/9GAoqqw

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

Rep. Jamie @raskin.house.gov: "Here's something every American can do and ought to do: Get your FOIA request in" to DOGE. Congressman Raskin explains how he's fighting back against Elon Musk's DOGE. Watch the full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYnN...

President Trump has for years exaggerated the size of US trade deficits with various other countries. Now, as Trump cites those trade deficits as a key justification for his tariff policies, newly released federal statistics show how wrong Trump’s numbers are. | Fact check

Hey Bluesky! Did you know @algreen.house.gov is on Bluesky??!! Let’s give him some support and follow him. He’s truly my hero for standing up for us. He’s willing to take whatever repercussions come his way for standing up and fighting for us.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Want to feel good about humanity? James Harrison, an Australian railway clerk, hated needles but donated blood every two weeks for over 60 years. The rare antibodies in his blood are credited with saving 2.4 million babies. RIP

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

In light of today's events, I offer this emotional support puppy.

And here we are.

Today, Donald Trump and JD Vance disgraced the United States of America. My full statement on the disastrous Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

Hey let’s fuck with the people who: - want to ban birth control - made it harder for people to vote - gave Reagan 50% of his policy ideas - organized project 2025

BREAKING: Two sources tell @theprospect.bsky.social that the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration has asked for a plan for cuts to 50% of the workforce, including at the 1,200 field offices that serve millions of beneficiaries. prospect.org/health/socia...

Well I like that idea #resist #dumpoligarchs #dumptrump

Nuff said

Here is your emotional support puppy for today.

I am now referring to the current administration as MUMPs (Musk + Trump).

No foreign adversary has done as much to harm America as President Musk and Donald Trump have done in 3 weeks.

We urge Gov. Landry, Surgeon General Abraham, and the LA Dept of Health to prioritize the health and well-being of our residents by reinstating mass vaccination promotion efforts. Public health should transcend political considerations, focusing solely on safeguarding the lives of LA citizens.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

John Jackson This guy is misspelling words while attacking the department of education. The irony is too much to bear. Indoctrinate not “endoctrinate.” 🤦🏼

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?
