Trump, never mind Musk, have no legal authority to eliminate USAID. This is vandalism.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Rebecca Lee Crumpler was born on this day in 1831 in Christiana, Del. In 1864, Crumpler became the first African American woman physician in the U.S. Despite enormous hurdles, she spent her career caring for African American women and children. /1

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

They killed off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it was too effective at protecting the public from unscrupulous, opportunistic conmen like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

Brexit making the headlines.

🚨 BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he’s going to rename Lake Michigan to “Lake Illinois.” EPIC TRUMP TROLL!!! 🤣

Bless this hero!

My weed dealer is selling eggs now.

Now more than ever.

WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent." 🤘🔥 #DemocracyNotDictatorship

My favorite Grammy moment was folks booing Snoop. I hope he woke up stressed this morning. Amen.

America! Learn how to protest... from Serbians, from Germans, from Georgians...

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Shutting down USAID is not about efficiency—it’s about undermining America’s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

With all the chaos in the world it brought me so much joy learning that Kanye was physically removed from the Grammys for not being invited and just showing up. Gotta love that

“And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." -JFK 1963

#ACTUALNEWS Former President Jimmy Carter posthumously won the Grammy for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for his book "Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration." Jason Carter, the late president's grandson, accepted the award on his grandfather's behalf.

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

I know, I know!! 👋 Two-part answer: Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell.

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky
