Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

The House passed their budget, which will likely lead to draconian cuts to Medicaid, with the small hope some will be offset with negotiations with the Senate.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the expense of the middle class.

MAGA think it’s a sporting event and don’t care that children and older adults will die. GOP get top-tier healthcare for life—even if they never work another day. Heartless decision.

I really feel for the early career researchers impacted by what’s happening in the US. It’s hard enough for them to complete a PhD and build a career. This has long term implications for research capacity globally. #AcademicSky #research

Americans’ obsession with the super wealthy allowed this Trojan horse to roll up into the center of the republic. And here we are.

I am struggling to get through these grant reviews because I know that they will cancel the meeting last second but we are pretending they won’t until after the work is done and the time is stolen from us. It’s maddening and demoralizing.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

When the military doesn’t want lawyers to advise them on the law, because it may be a roadblock to what the military wants to accomplish, it’s announcing that the military is going to do illegal things and that’s scary as hell.

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

This week, a colleague (an MD!) coughed and said, "Don't worry, not COVID, I tested. I've had it for a week though and just got back from sick leave." I was masked. And mad. I don't care if it's COVID, flu, crust, whatever. Wearing a mask protects the people around you. Care. About. Other. People.

This looks like a good idea. It turns out it wasn't initiated by HCR, so I've deleted her name from the image. I guess whoever thought it up is shy. I plan to do this, even though I can't spend any money anyway until I feel that my Social Security is safe.
