Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

This is Buster. He's having the best day ever. Gets to play in the pool AND get rained on at the same time. 13/10 every lab's dream

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

@maddow.msnbc.com Everyone asks for proof of what they've said they found... but no one asks the first question. Maybe it's time to ask new questions.

@maddow.msnbc.com Thanks for everything you do to get info out to all Americans. Why don't we hear more people asking t/m ...how do you define waste? How do you identify it ? How do you demonstrate that cutting it will improve this or that?

@aoc.bsky.social And thanks for all you are doing to fight for this country!

@aoc.bsky.social Keep up the great work!!!

@wassermanschultz.house.gov Thank you for everything you do every single day to promote our democracy. Honestly someday it's just too much for me to take in. I've been trying to make phone calls every day to someone re the disruption of the day/ moment. Thanks again for all you are doing.

For Republicans, it’s never been about lowering costs or saving taxpayer money. They just want to help the rich get richer.

Donald Trump illegally fired 19 inspectors general. The law requires notice to Congress and a case-by-case justification. It is not optional. Congress must convene a bipartisan hearing to examine these unlawful acts and how they can be remedied. Immediately.

@wassermanschultz.house.gov I'm reading now about the Save Act. Good lord!! Please let us know that you are voting against this.

Trump has granted Musk even more power to reshape the federal government by signing an executive order requiring agencies to cooperate with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” to reduce their workforces and limit hiring replacements.

While extreme voices online and in the White House drive hate and division, organizations like AMMWEC are building interfaith unity to combat antisemitism, promote mutual understanding, and counter misinformation and prejudice. Glad to meet with them in DC this week.

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

Watch out, US banks — populist-in-chief Nigel Farage is up for taking a major political fight your way.

Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

Elon Musk is systematically seizing control over our nation’s communications, financial systems and data and military infrastructures. Musk isn’t a fourth branch of government, just another Silicon Valley who wants to be dictator of the world.

They have to pay for the tax cuts for rich folks somehow. I guess early childhood education for kids is as good a source as any…

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social

@altnps.bsky.social i see now and not at all surprised that t is considering redrawing boundaries near national monuments.. for uranium and coal. Everyday, more horrifying than the one before.

Selective outrage of the right.

European countries joined Arab nations today in rebuking a shock announcement by United States President Donald Trump that he wants to take control over Gaza and forcibly displace its inhabitants to neighboring countries including Jordan and Egypt.

NEW on CNN: Marco Rubio spent years praising foreign aid and USAID as a vital part of American foreign policy according to a review of press releases and letters he sent as a Senator. Including arguing that the agency was needed to counter CCP influence www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/p...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer distanced the UK from US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into the “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Well, this is terrifying. Sure, it’s illegal to deport a US citizen. It should be no problem to get El Salvador to return your illegally deported loved one, shouldn’t it? (Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for shining a light on this alarming development.) www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/a...

Congress controls the power of the purse, but Republicans on Capitol Hill have put up little resistance to efforts by the administration to suspend spending that they've already approved.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden are calling on the Government Accountability Office to investigate Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's decision to grant access to sensitive government payment systems to Elon Musk and other DOGE employees. tinyurl.com/4n7wt25d

This is absolutely batshit crazy. It's infuriating... Weather information is SO important. NOAA weather warnings are life saving, from North Carolina to California to New Jersey to Florida, etc.

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it. cardinalpine.com/2025/01/28/t...

Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."
