Republicans are passing a bill to cut Medicaid so Trump and his billionaire friends can pay for their tax cuts. This means ripping health care away from millions to lower taxes for the ultra wealthy. This isn't what Americans meant when they said they wanted lower costs.

Important piece @electriclit.bsky.social, highlighting crucial writing from those imprisoned in or descended from survivors of America's WWII concentration camps. But let's stop using "internment" altogether. Citizens cannot be interned, only foreigners. This term repeats part of the original sin.

This Day of Remembrance at Chiyo's Garden in Seattle felt different from all those previous. At the first DOR we created here in 1978, we were 2,000 Nikkei strong in remembering the camps and standing for redress with our families. 1/

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things your team has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

Congress is trying to pass the SAVE Act, a bill designed to stop a problem that doesn’t exist. The only thing it’s good for is stopping millions of Americans from registering to vote.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

I don't see any good reason why college & university presidents shouldn't respond to this with an emphatic and unified "absolutely not." At the very least, the presidents of rich privates should not comply, and should be loud about it. There's no scenario where complying here reduces risk later.

When DOGE launched a website earlier this week, it promised to post “receipts” of its work “no later than Valentine’s Day 💘.” Valentine’s Day came and went. But the receipts never materialized. Now DOGE has amended its deadline: “Receipts coming over the weekend!”
