If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Am I perfect? No. But am I striving to be a better person everyday? Also no.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

If you aren't following @altnps.bsky.social, you should be.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Good advice

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Mental health moment. Shhh… A decent snowfall always transports our resident bucking bronco Polly Jean (PJ) into absolute joyfulness. Good girl PJ! We find joy where & when we need it. And boy, do we need it right now. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmoments #dogs #peace #joy #happiness

Are people here who've been followed by Mark Hamill considered Blue Skywalkers?

The speed the universities have moved to comply with this stuff is astonishing. These are not fast moving orgs so embracing the erasure of inclusion and equity this quickly tells you about their leadership’s commitment.

On this day, February 21, 1936, Barbara Jordan was born. A lawyer, educator, and politician, she was the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate and the first Southern Black woman in the U.S. House. Jordan was known for her eloquence and dedication to ethics in government.

Of course. Anyone surprised?

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.

Waiting to hear from all the “Trump-Russia was a hoax” crew and somehow they’ve evaporated into nothingness
