I’m a recovering political junkie who is dealing with the election results by hiking more an spending as much time out in nature and posting cute animals. For now. I’ll be back fighting when needed but won’t let the orange menace live in my head

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

This is going to be EPIC: All your favorite Democratic creators (and a few huge surprise guests) are coming together for a MASSIVE zoom Tuesday. This is going to be one of the most important conversations of the Trump presidency. Will you repost and join us? 🧵

Super Bowl ads have been pretty meh. I did love the Harrison Ford ad for Jeep (genius to have him say he loves Jeep even if his last name is Ford) and good message. And the Nike ad on women’s’ sports was perfection. Shameful that Fox gave Yeezy ad time. But they have no shame

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Perfection as usual - although think he was too kind making the GOP a german shepherd - should have been a chihuahua… although they would deport that

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'"

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

Huge crowd at a press conference outside USAID right now. USAID saves lives and protects our health security and must be allowed to continue its work on behalf of the American people. And the American people are not backing down.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

NEWS Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz says he’s putting a blanket hold on all of President Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running.
