Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

Dark Pence is back.

@booker.senate.gov for minority leader!!!

It happened this morning. Every. Single. One. Of my colleagues I know at CDC. RIF’d this morning. When I said that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the catastrophes to follow, I wasn’t exaggerating 😞

What @corybooker.com just did on the Senate floor is exactly what we need. If Democrats can’t meet this moment, then they must step aside. We need warriors and if you aren’t one, then this isn’t your time. youtu.be/sAxHyZoP_iQ

BREAKING: Cory Booker is now nearly 12 hours into his filibuster on the Senate floor, the Trump Administration admits it accidentally deported a father to El Salvador and it can't bring him back, and more. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

HHS's Office of Long COVID Research and Practice has been DOGEd. Closing this week.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

🚨Happening soon!🚨 Watch here: txdem.co/live

Massive die-in in front of the New York Stock Exchange to protest the illegal cuts by DOGE and the Trump administration.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden. This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

“DO YOUR JOB!” TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

I just filed a constitutional amendment to protect access to abortion & contraception. Banning abortion isn’t pro-life, it’s anti-liberty. No party should control your medical decisions. Texans deserve the freedom to make their OWN decisions about their bodies & their futures.

This is absolutely insane. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

USAID Kept My Troops Safe in Afghanistan If not for American aid, we would have faced more enemies and won fewer friends. www.thebulwark.com/p/usaid-kept...

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

Senator Tillis, the people you work for have a message.

The six young men raiding US personnel data for Elon Musk are now among the world’s biggest intelligence targets, yes. They have access to tons of sensitive info, and are in way over their heads. Safe to say plans to try hacking, bribes, blackmail, honey pots—you name it—are already in the works.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

No one voted for Elon Musk. An unelected billionaire is trying to raid the Treasury Department and take money from the American people. This is a constitutional crisis and we choose to fight. We’re taking action to stop the Trump-Musk power grab this week. Join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE…👇 Costco will keep all its DEl practices in place, and raises hourly pay for workers to over $30 per hour. SHOP COSTCO!! 😎✨

NEW: Vera Rubin was a pioneering female astronomer. The federal webpage for an observatory named for her now excludes mention of efforts to diversify science. “I’m sure Vera would be absolutely furious,” said a co-author of a biography of Rubin. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

I used to be quite ignorant as a young adult. But do you know what changed my mind each time? Art. Art is the best thing to get into the hearts of others and help them see something new. Just make something completely sincerely. Everything else falls into place. There is a reason for what we do.
