A lot of people confuse writing with typing. Writing isn’t typing. It’s the entire process and yes that includes going for a walk or rearranging things in your office.

One of the most persistent myths in American politics is that Ronald Reagan was for smaller government. When he left office, there were more federal government employees than the day he was inaugurated.

What happens when the SSA closes field offices? People have a harder time getting access to services that they are eligible for because of crowded offices. People with more severe disabilities, lower income and lower education are most adversely affected. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Why do we need Medicaid for the poor? Because we don't have universal healthcare #UHC as all of the other OECD countries do. Why don't we have it? ONE reason: so the rich can get richer. It's more profitable for them to watch 45,000 Americans die every yr from no/low coverage & that's ok with them!

Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming. Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it. Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone. There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO. Madness.

The EU was formed with the vision of stopping a continent triggered two world wars to find another way to co-exist. On that count, it has been an astonishing success, for member countries but also for the US. That is the problem Trump is trying to fix.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

For this then is witch-walking: to step into conversation into the spirits of the land; to step out and gather feral magics. To walk and to move among nature's gifted enchantments. There is no path we may take that is without learning. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

No democrat should vote for anything in Congress until Musk is fired and all the federal funding he zeroed out on a whim is restored. We simply cannot have a democracy when the Executive's zonked-out Vizier moves fast and breaks things he doesn't understand, which is all things, because he's stupid.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

6 months ago my 7 year old daughter did not enjoy reading on her own. Then she discovered these books about dragons. Tonight she finished BOOK 15, the series finale. They are ~300 pages each. I am blown away by this feat and very proud of her. Also now she loves dragons which makes me happy 💚

I have a suspicion as to how Vance Day got on the radar of the Trump Administration. Oregon's Solomon Yue is a longtime RNC member and a pretty close associate of/donor to Trump. I first saw the news about Day's appointment a week ago on FB from an org run by Yue's partner, also a GOP activist.

The Republican Study Committee was founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich and its purpose ever since has been to keep driving the GOP ever rightward. The Heritage Foundation's house historian, Lee Edwards, is currently writing a history of the RSC that will likely depict it in a very favorable light.

People gleefully treated George Lucas like absolute garbage from 1997 to 2012, and they only stopped doing it when a powerful woman became his successor. A successor he chose, mind you. Don’t let anyone rewrite history. Do not get fooled for a single second. It was a culture war recruitment tantrum.
