I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy. Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

$660M verdict against Greenpeace. 🤮 A U.S. jury just ordered Greenpeace to pay hundreds of millions to a fossil fuel giant over Dakota Access pipeline protests.🚫⛽ A dangerous precedent for human rights, our earth and free speech.🌍 #ClimateJustice #HumanRights 🔗 www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

“There are very few opportunities for leaks, and that’s by design—so our adversaries don’t know how the US plans to fight.” – Caroline Zier, former Deputy Chief of Staff to SecDef Lloyd Austin So why was Elon Musk, with deep business ties to China, meeting behind closed doors at the Pentagon?

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley fielded questions from a packed room of heated Iowans in the Franklin County Courthouse

We should honor our military heroes who answered the call to serve. Instead, Trump and Hegseth are trying to erase their legacies.   My fellow Senate Dem Veterans and I have a message for this Administration: Restore these purged DoD webpages immediately. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

🚨 "Do not mess with Veterans." – @maddow.msnbc.com on VoteVets' hard-hitting new ad slamming Elon Musk’s DOGE and GOP reps like Zach Nunn for doing nothing as Veterans are fired. We’re running this in IA, NE, PA, MI & VA—because silence is complicity.

This is a disgrace!

I spent a quick 24 hours at Willie Nelson’s ranch in Spicewood, Texas and I still have the dust on my boots, my hat and guitar case to prove it. It was an honor to tribute the songs of Kris Kristofferson and play with all my friends at Luck Reunion.

Get rid of this ridiculous “boys club” called DOGE. Stealing from the poor and vets is unconscionable. 😡

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Where’s the lie?

The 1950’s & early 1960’s are calling, they want to know if they should pull the nuke protecting desks outta storage?

One of my favorite John Prine songs. Seems fitting for the world we're living in.

Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards held a town hall in Asheville, North Carolina. Constituents raged at the congressman about the Trump administration — DOGE, mass firings, tariffs, Social Security, and more. For about an hour and a half, an audience of about 300 constituents raged at…

If a Palestinian activist, with all the legal rights of a green card holder to exercise his 1st Amendment rights can be detained/deported…so can a not-so-sure if legally here Elon Musk who is attempting/succeeding in Identity Theft & oh yeah…a coup to overthrow the U.S.! @raskin.house.gov

This is the 2nd time #TraitorTrump has tried to extort #Zelenskyy I’m so proud of Zelenskyy for walking away and saying “not today Putin!”

So @tmobilesupport.bsky.social will never get my business! Run with Nazis…find out!

As someone who’s worked on these kinds of cases, I can tell you that you don’t conclusively establish fraud in a couple of days just by storming the Bastile. What they’re probably finding is programs they don’t like—the ones that help real people and make our lives better.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

someone tell ernst that neither the president nor musk embodies the american people and that if they want to cut funding they should work with congress to pass a bill www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

We’ve gone from the “papers please” chapter to the good little German (murikkkan) “turn in your neighbors” chapter Mein Kampf complete series

Pour one out for that sad lost MAGA guy standing in the cold in DC on a corner yelling at everyone who passes, “WE’RE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, YOU MORON!”

Well damn. Even on “our side”, we have bots. (Unlikely to be simply a stolen tweet, because they arrived within seconds of each other.

Joe Biden’s presidency has been transformational. His time in office ends tomorrow, but the victories he’s won—to bring back jobs, stand up to big corporations, and build an economy that works for everyone—will continue to touch people’s lives. I am deeply grateful for his service.
