Trust me, as someone who investigated and called out no bid contracts in the Federal Govt for 12 years…this stinks. And likely illegal.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

NOAA has canceled the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative. NCRC was @cig-uw.bsky.social’s largest source of funding to work with rural communities and Tribes across WA, OR and ID to adapt and build resilience to climate impacts such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, and sea level rise.

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Both numbers are horrific and totally unnecessary to put women through

If you’re curious about Trump’s new surgeon general nominee Casey Means, I wrote about her for @nymag.com. She didn’t finish her residency in med school, which is cool! Also very cool she thinks hormonal birth control is a “disrespect of life” www.thecut.com/article/case...

There is no economic case for crypto. None. Crypto is for crime and gambling. That’s it. The proper position of gov is to regulate tf out of it, not cower in fear of angering speculators, tax cheats, and organized crime.

Today in "I can't believe we have to call our reps about this:" The Senate votes tomorrow on a crypto bill that would ENABLE Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign govts. We can block it if every Dem holds firm. Call now: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

All y'all that voted for this regime because you're sick of looking at unhoused neighbors on your city's streets are gonna get a big surprise if this makes it into the budget.

#NationalShrimpDay is this Saturday! Guests at Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp will get ½ lb of FREE SHRIMP with purchase of a full order. Offer good ON ALL orders of shrimp AT ALL locations from open to close! 10am to 10 pm at Canal location!

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

The offseason has arrived and the Avs have decisions to make 🧐 Who or what should be the top priority? Plus: a look at the Eagles’ playoff run and who might crack the Avs roster next year 🦅 Tune in live at 2PM ⬇️ 🔗: www.youtube.com/live/QRHm4C-...

Shorter version of Powell's opening statement at the Fed presser: 1. The economy was in pretty good shape prior to Tariffmageddon 2. Stagflation is now on the menu 3. Its' top three concerns are tariffs, tariffs, and tariffs

SCOOP: FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED. This comes as the agency is shifting responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities. Oh, and it's hurricane preparedness week, btw.

Challenge: summarize Trumpism in one headline

Ouch — this @ericmgarcia.bsky.social story about the likely devastation of the HHS division that keeps older people and people with disabilities in the community is gobsmacking

Not acceptable.

Absolute monstrous behavior from the DOE. I wish I was surprised, but I know that these folks are just evil. Ready to Learn funds do so much for each PBS station. This is how community engagement ties are created and sustained. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/05/trum...

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

Just unimaginable reckless, pointless stupidity. www.propublica.org/article/noaa...

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

The Trump administration is carrying out a large-scale operation across the DC area targeting *restaurants,* clearly trying to round up people for working under the table without papers. Not gang members. Not felons. Not criminals. Dishwashers. Busboys. Cooks. Waiters.

Pain at the pump is coming to the West Coast in the days ahead. I estimate #gasprices could rise 15-25c/gal in SoCal 15-35c/gal in NorCal 5-15c/gal in Oregon and Washington due to the refinery fire yesterday in Benecia, CA.

"We are now in a position in which Republican colleagues are not allowed to say whether or not they support or oppose an amendment" -- bizarre scenes at the House Committee on Natural Resources as Republicans refuse to engage with Joe Neguse's questions & instead sit in silence

Russia's meat assaults are only growing in size, with less armor, relying on motorcycles and donkeys, Russian casualties are at records. Despite negligible gains, Putin just throws more into the fire, and the Ukrainian Army keeps killing them.

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.

In case you missed it, this happened.

Concerning.

"'What is remarkable about Trump’s first 100 days is that he took the two issues he was strongest on—the economy and immigration—and completely destroyed his credibility on both.'"

So my federal tax dollars are going to Ashli Babbitt’s family after she attacked the Capitol and attempted to physically attack Congress? Meantime Capitol police are struggling? Depravity.

You try sitting next to @repmoskowitz.bsky.social and not laughing

Want to know what a government truly cares about? Study its budget. Want to see how little Trump & co. care about Americans’ health? Read this. The author lays out exactly what OMB is proposing for public health—and why it’s dangerously wrong. Great talking points. Call your reps 5calls.org

consequence.net/2025/05/trum... We won’t go down without a fight. Yet another attempt by this administration to silence voices that they disagree with. The CPB partly funds PBS, but the rest of the money needed to run PBS and its member stations comes from private foundations and viewers like us.

middle class families are losing their jobs and their homes and Republicans are focused on giving their tax dollars to the families of Jan 6 rioters. Kick them all out

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction.
