@schumer.senate.gov So by handing over all Federal government spending to Trump/Musk, is there any point in having a Senate? The only option is shut down. Otherwise, democracy is over.

In the trade, on both the right and the left, this is known as voter suppression: Here are 8 things to know about the Trump-backed SAVE Act www.npr.org/2025/03/12/n...

@schumer.senate.gov You keep asking for support and donations, but if you capitulate and do no oppose the GOP budget, you will not get any future support.

This is the way #Canada should proceed. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

The manner in which #ElonMusk is screwing up points to the use of #AI www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/u...

Trump moves to explicitly support #Putin in war against Ukraine: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

Volodymyr will not be bullied. Good for him.

This week, #ConsumerReports released its list of top 10 vehicles for 2025. Some definite bargains in the rankings. Here's my breakdown: www.aarp.org/auto/car-buy...

Something Canada should do and can do is revoke #ElonMusk's Canadian citizenship. Canadians can help by signing a government petition. (Yes, that guy illegally firing all those U.S. researchers, nuclear oversight workers, etc., is Canadian.) www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Geez, #Doge can't even add. #ElonMusk's incompetence is showing: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Political philosopher John Rawls was born on this date in 1921. Back in 2008 John and Ken questioned his Theory of Justice with one of his students, Joshua Cohen, author of "The Arc of the Moral Universe and Other Essays"—more at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/john-r.... #PhilSky #philosophy

Plot Twist: Russia won the Cold War after all.

#ElonMusk corruption that we are paying for: DOJ drops case against #SpaceX www.reuters.com/legal/us-say...

#ElonMusk's own astronaut calls him out for lying. And we're giving Musk billions of our dollars to continue the lie. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A win for #publichealth and #womensrights and #democracy that demonstrates people should continue to fight for their rights: apnews.com/article/abor...

We're already in a constitutional crisis and #ElonMusk is firing folks in charge of nukes and fighting the H5N1 virus, so we should support the SOS. Oh, and it's literally illegal to fire them in this manner. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

The next time food makes you sick, you'll at least know who to blame: #RFKjr www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

For Sale: #PamBondi, #EmilBove, and the DOJ: (Should read, Quid Pro Quo.)

Où est la chouette ? Oh mon dieu ! Elle est morte !

Good to see this happening: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

So great, these #mukluks from #Canada make me want to go out and shovel more snow. Really. Could be a great Valentine's Day gift for someone: www.ontheroadtoautonomy.com/single-post/...

This is a fucking disgrace.

The article fails to mention the #Tesla fatalities being investigated, but its not a bad overview of the problem of #ElonMusk www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Today's suggestion, switch to maps from #Here maps.here.com?map=28.62294...

Time to move on from #GoogleMaps Hello #AppleMaps: beta.maps.apple.com?ll=24.375140...

Trumps suspends #EV programs in order to financially benefit President #ElonMusk and have people use his charging stations (rather than municipal stations). For example, lots of #Tesla charging stations in Brattleboro, so Trump is eliminating the competition: www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...
