NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

This clip really should be viewed in full. Trump in full mob boss mode, threatening not only to withhold funds from a governor's state but to ruin her personally. This is the fascist threat so many have screamed about for years. Long past time to take him literally. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

It is clear that the Trump Administration’s primary goal is to concentrate power and money in the hands of Elon Musk and their wealthy friends.

Here’s the bottom line: @govevers.wisconsin.gov has proposed critical investments for our public schools in his state budget. Today, the Assembly GOP ignored the challenges our students face and prioritized political bills instead. We must do better by our kids.

When unelected & unaccountable dictators need kid gloves, it’s a fascinating turn of events. Musk can dish it out, give a Nazi salute, make light of violence against Democrats, promote bigoted views. But he unleashes official authority to muzzle a supposed critic. #firstamendment #letsgo

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I was in a room with a few octogenarians yesterday and I thought man, these people survived Jim Crow. My grandfather was 12 when Emmett Till was lynched. His dad almost met the same fate in Georgia. Amnesia will be our downfall if you don’t keep speaking up that history is right there.

Did you know that UW - Madison is one giant unfunded mandate? The state government is now only the 5th-largest provider of funding, yet it retains near-total control over its ability to regulate our campus policies & operations. Also, this is why the federal budget cuts will be so devastating.

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled. In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

"The future is unknowable, but one thing seems certain: none of what we are seeing now is sustainable. Something new will have to emerge from the wreckage of this moment. Will it be a restoration and reinvigoration of our noblest ideals? Or will it be a realization of our deepest fears?"

Elon has already chosen the next election he wants to influence: the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, in six weeks. “Very important to vote Republican [in this race] to prevent voter fraud,” he tweeted. The conservative candidate applauded him. Will others mobilize in response? Bolts explain stakes:
