They hate women.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

My staff are thrilled to get a client into permanent housing after years of her being unhoused. We will buy her a new bed and mattress but if any of you have furnishings or home goods you’d like to donate, she can use pretty much anything. Feel free to email case manager Angie at [email protected] 🙏

My kid and his lunchmates at school were bored so they challenged each other to 50-day streaks on Duolingo in new languages for each of them. The children are our future.

The share of Americans employed by the government steeply dropped in the decades leading up to 2000, and has remained essentially flat since. A bloating federal workforce is a myth.

Musk "can't exercise authority that's significant in the executive branch if he's not an 'officer,' and he can't be an 'officer' b/c his office wasn't created by law." But if he does have great authority and reports only to the president, he must be confirmed by the Senate. – @gtconway.bsky.social

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Another reminder that seriously mistreated children can grow up to be president but they need a lot of therapy.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Not sure the Gen Z young people will get the phone reference. But this is cute.

This is unmanageable, anti-democratic, anti-republic. There are approximately 4,00 WH employees who cannot handle anything approaching the level of work the executive branch does. This is an amazing awful power grab and SOMEBODY needs to step up or we all need to protest.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Waited two hours to give my two minutes of testimony on lengthening prescription times for HRT in Washington State. No questions from the committee as they had run over by one minute. But I got it in under the wire!

About to testify as co-chair of the state LGBTQ Commission in favor of a bill to lengthen prescription time for HRT.

I still have a $1M appropriation request out there. It’s a like a baby sea turtle heading into the ocean. Please make it, little baby sea turtle! You have such a brilliant future ahead of you!

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

👀 "Deregulation and tax cuts meant that between 1981, when Reagan took office, and 2021, when Democratic president Joe Biden did, about $50 trillion moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%."

This new EO signed today appears to create DOGE as a shadow government across the entire federal government. Each agency/dept will be assigned a DOGE minder who will work with the Secry or Director and essentially be in charge of all new hiring and/or firing. People have been saying the Elon is ...

There is no reason why this illegal behavior should continue.

Cowards or racists, take your pick.

We are at 258 overdose responses with naloxone for the year. Kennewick and Walla Walla sites each have more than 100 so far. At this rate we will hit around 2,200 by the end of the year, which would be our fifth record setting year in a row. Anyone says the opioid crisis is over is extremely wrong.

I do love it when I get an email from Beyoncé.

Who’da thunk it?
