"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

So here's the deal. 1. The careless budget/DOGE cuts are going to cause a recession. 2. The running out of undocumented workers is going to cause a food shortage. 3. The tariffs are going to cause inflation. 4. Vaccine denial is going to cause disease. 5. And that's just the tip.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Thought we were attempting to reduce the federal deficit? Instead, Trump’s proposed budget plan is projected to significantly increase it.

5 Jasmine Crocketts > 500 Chuck Schumers 5 AOCs > 5 million Fettermans It's not the size of you in the fight that matters, it's the size of the fight in you.

Per @thetransitguy.bsky.social: “This is what the Cuyahoga River looked like before the EPA and Clean Water Act, btw. The river used to catch on fire.”

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

I envy the Romanians. They knew what to do with their Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate.

I tossed & turned all night and didn't sleep well. I know I'm not alone. I am heartbroken that these heartless asshole tyrants passed massive funding chops & gutting everything. It's going to hurt so many people. We have so many clients here that rely on these services for healthcare & food. 💔😭

People will die. Omg

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

70% of Missouri’s Medicaid budget comes from the federal government. This will be cut and it will be devastating. This is also at the same time that Missouri GOP leaders are trying to eliminate the income tax which supports 65% of the state’s budget. We are screwed.

This is why we need unions.

Not only that, bring a life sized version of their pussy Republican rep and let voters respond to their cut outs. Make it happen America!

On the #TrailWalk with Lichen. 🌿🚶‍♀️🍄

I'm building my little indoor greenhouse today. I have peas, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and lettuce. I am watching videos to learn to preserve the food better than I have in the past. One tip: buy your canning supplies early.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

"Mark my words: these elected officials will be responsive to their own voters. The answer, then, is to put pressure on these Republicans, because if they start to lose support from the very people responsible for electing them, that becomes existential for them in a way that Trump’s threats can’t."

I swear, this is the Back to the Future movie where Biff wins. God help us all. Where is Doc and Marty??!!

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

Stanbury: "We will not give them one single vote!"

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

The settlement here will not be for a trivial amount

Make it so. We still use our ancient iPods.
