You know how the Trump admin blocked publication of the CDC's weekly morbidity and mortality report, which until now had been released every single week since 1952? Turns out last week's report would have included 2 important new studies on bird flu transmission. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

“To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” - Elie Wiesel On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember those we lost, honor those who survived, and commit ourselves to fighting antisemitism and hate wherever it exists.

Just going to post this again. If you're preaching for bipartisanship, you're speaking in the past tense. You can't be bipartisan ALONE.

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

The are so many things/ people I’m going to miss after tomorrow, but Lina Khat at FTC is going to be at the top of my list. The sad part is I don’t think most people know what we’re losing there.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

By my count, there were 37 new wildfire starts in SoCal in just the past 48hr — during PDS Red Flag Warning. None of them became news stories b/c they were all stopped by fire crews within 1-2hrs. During the worst Jan. weather conditions in California history. Huge, huge props to firefighters. ♥️

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

“Although they had lost the majority of the popular vote, Republican leaders claimed ‘a clear mandate’ to advance their policies.” That’s @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the North Carolina debacle — but it could apply to many other jurisdictions heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-12...

It wasn't so long ago that stupid, conspiracy-theory loving Republicans were claiming that Democrats can control the weather. Then why isn't there currently a heavy rain over LA?

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually increased by $50 million.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
