Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

The GOP budget will gut Medicaid. Please tell your maga uncle in Florida because he's not hearing about this on Fox News.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Macron replies, “no, in fact, to be frank, we pay sixty percent of the total force.” Macron then goes on to explain that Donny is confusing two separate issues — war aid to Ukraine, and the ultimate ownership of frozen Russian assets currently held by Europe. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

In contrast to DOGE “cost cutting” fuckery, Warren Buffet’s letter in Berkshire Hathaway’s annual report reveals “the company paid $26.8 billion in corporate federal income tax last year — more than any entity ever has.” Simple solution: corps pay their share. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

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...

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that if Elon Musk really wanted to cut waste, he'd start with subsidies to Big Oil, loopholes to hedge funds, and all the waste from the Pentagon. Stop squeezing the little people, FFS.

House Rs are leaving the chamber. They appear to have given up for today on passing the budget resolution, which would have been the first step in enacting their bill to cut Medicaid and SNAP to partially pay for tax cuts that give $278k to the top 0.1% while still adding trillions to the debt.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Courage! 💙 Balint ended with “It is revolting to see my colleagues side with Russia because Trump said so.” For her well-chosen words she received a warning (threat?), audible in the last few seconds of this clip, against “engaging in personalities toward the president.” @balint.house.gov

Elon Musk presents himself as a star wielding a chainsaw, symbolizing the budget cuts he imposes on public administration. This theatrical distraction obscures the reality that taxing billionaires fairly could resolve major financial issues in less than 24 hours.

Fun fact: As Republicans prepare to cut the entire budget of Medicaid, millions will lose health care, but also 5.6 million live in custodial care or have assisted living paid by Medicaid. 5.6 million with no $ & no one to care for them. That's not cost cutting, that's genocide.
