Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Americans abroad can also refrain from buying online, including Kindle and Audible books.

You had us at "Trump wouldn't know a thing..." @kenmartin.bsky.social

This is not normal.

No words, indeed.

Pass it on.

In another episode of #FAFO… Two Colorado districts with the highest number of CO residents on Medicaid, up to 25%, just had their GOP House Reps vote to cut Medicaid funding in Trump’s new budget proposal. Actions have consequences. @demsabroad.bsky.social

So many great accounts to follow here on Bluesky that we had to create a second Starter Pack! We've got room to add more, so drop a comment if you want to recommend an account for us to follow (it can be yours!).

That's some epic trolling right there, @duckworth.senate.gov !

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention. When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.” This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

@fpwellman.bsky.social getting the word out.

Trump announced plans to cut 65% of the EPA’s staff.

USAID staff have two days to clean out their offices at the agency’s former headquarters in DC. People are gathering on the sidewalk in the rain to show their support, applauding workers as they pass by.

Um....

This is not normal.
