Today at the WH

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

In her first children’s book, conservationist Bindi Irwin takes little readers on a journey through Australia Zoo. She joins us to talk about her family’s legacy, how motherhood fuels her approach to conservation, and what it’s like to run a zoo.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

Found some peace in this.

As historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, authoritarians normalize cruelty to divide and conquer. “Freeing people from the idea that they should respect others as individuals with dignity and autonomy is part of the agenda.”

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

Ticket sales dropped roughly 50 percent week-over-week after Trump announced his takeover, sources said. Meanwhile, performers are mulling their options.

If Kamala Harris had done EVERYTHING the same, but she was a white man, she would’ve won. It’s that simple.

Pancake ice skating is such a mood

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

. Social Security chief under investigation for allegedly leaking data to DOGE after being tapped by Musk’s team. With 41 jobs cut and 10 offices closed, these missteps impact 73M+ lives. Big mistakes are happening and the consequences will be severe. #SocialSecurity #Medicare #Consequences .

RFK Jr. cannot be trusted to oversee or interpret legit scientific research.

#Connect2Nature My life right now is a confusing mix of tragedy, joy, unknown, and duty, like many other folks. I am thankful that #Nature grounds me in this craziness. It is not about escape, but gaining clear perspective on what's important. This young eagle photographed in Dec 2024. #Birds

Bill Cassidy was performing the role of a soap opera doctor at the RFK Jr. hearings. He is, in fact, a doctor. But he was performing. How do I know this? Because he voted to confirm RFK Jr. Naturally Cassidy is now spinning like a top as the RFK backfire has already begun.

Governing is Hard. The incompetent Trump Administration can get anything done. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Pupper's polite and subtle implication that he is interested in going for a walk..🐕🐾

I saw this coming. vtdigger.org/2024/11/07/c...

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Hello, Blue Sky! For my first post, I wanted to wish everyone as much peace as a sleeping polar bear in summer time 💜

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

The ‘Gulf of America’ feud is about something bigger: Trump wants to control the media | Margaret Sullivan

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

Just sounds like Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WISC) got clocked at his town hall in West Bend last night www.tmj4.com/news/washing...
