This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

Looks like something really is happening talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/anoth...

If you need me I'll be in the forest, searching for a portal to another dimension. This one has gotten a little sketchy lately.šŸ˜

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Well now, how about that - the gross, orange freakasaurus has been bragging lies. Oh! Yeah, thatā€™s right - if heā€™s talking, heā€™s lying, so nothing new www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they wonā€™t be able to avoid reality for long.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasnā€™t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. Iā€™ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

"Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." On what would have been John Lewis' 85th birthday, let's honor his legacy by protecting Americans' freedoms, including the right to vote.

The nature of ā€œshock and aweā€ is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. Whatā€™s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

#FDA Firingsā€¦ Most baffling to many were the firings of hundreds whose jobs were not funded by taxpayers. Their positions were financed through congressionally approved agreements that routed fees from the drug, medical device and tobacco industries to the agency. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Kash Patelā€™s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixonā€™s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the presidentā€”the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Correct. Heā€™s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, ā€œheā€™s just eating the piecesā€ on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. Heā€™s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

"In the middle of a tax filing season, when taxpayers expect prompt customer service and smooth processing of their tax returns, the administration has chosen to decimate the whole operation by sending dedicated civil servants to the unemployment lines." #IRS www.axios.com/2025/02/20/i...

Instead of giving $2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, we should work together to lower food prices for regular Americans. That's why I introduced an amendment to block tax cuts for billionaires as long as food prices are rising.
