We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid. Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.

"Leaders... said they’d fielded numerous calls from the parents of transgender youth worried about this legislation. Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, said his office had gotten over 500 emails and calls from constituents about the bill." Your voice matters. ❤️👊☎️

Any #genealogy nerds in Nova Scotia want to help a girl out? I desperately want to visit to sightsee and try to find my ancestor's graves and records, but I'm on a teacher budget in the U.S. so

Great thread. I have kids who join my class with an idea for a GN trilogy, and I tell them all, if you want to make a graphic novel, you need to start with these weird little comics first. You'll learn more with lower stakes, and you'll be more likely to finish your work rather than burning out.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

If you live in these states, contact your Attorney General NOW and demand your state withdraw from this lawsuit attacking disability rights. If you're temporarily able-bodied, disability rights STILL AFFECT YOU. Have you ever pushed a stroller? Been pregnant? Broken a leg? Used a ramp or elevator?

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
