As Trump appeases a murderer and blames the leader of the murdered, GOP inaction and silence is complicity.

"The sheep like the shade, plus the solar panels increase grass yield and protect sheep from predators," said Pearce. Meanwhile, Pearce revealed farmers and shepherds reap their own set of benefits, as "sheep eliminate the need for herbicides or costly grass cutting on the solar farms."

WATCH: While Republican proposals include further tax breaks for the ultrawealthy and corporations, other proposals would eliminate tax breaks for families with children, like the current tax credit for up to $2,100 in child care expenses. 📽️ @josesepulveda.bsky.social

Open message to Elon Musk: Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

We can’t forget what Greg Abbott did. When a bipartisan coalition rejected his voucher scam, he retaliated by withholding funding from our public schools. He’s sacrificing 5.5 million school children to please his billionaire donors. It’s unconscionable. Immoral. Unacceptable.

I don't this story has registered with enough people. OPM is trying to make it possible for Musk to control the IT of every federal agency and department. I assume that would give him access--backdoor access?--to...everything. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I think there is a legitimate sense that there never seems to be enough to go around to help Americans here at home. The problem isn't foreign aid, but I understand why billionaires like Elon Musk want you to think it is.

When Elon Musk bought Donald Trump, he bought access to your private financial information. The Scammer-in-Chief has crypto bro interns digging through everything from your bank accounts to Social Security number.

The Speaker of the House doesn't know what Elon Musk is doing. Neither do the GOP’s own 'expert witnesses.' Yet they assert DOGE is better to combat waste and fraud than the Inspectors General that Trump fired. Sounds to me like they know there's no oversight and don't care.

Because of checkpoints in and out of the Valley, US #Border Patrol agents may be boarding #school buses to question students about their citizenship status, and if a student does not have documents showing a pupil is in the country legally, they may be removed from the bus, detained, and deported.

Our communities are not safer after Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht, creator of Silk Road (a drug marketplace reportedly tied to 6 deaths) that facilitated the sale of illicit substances, including heroin. The pardon puts families at risk, just like his decision to pardon violent Jan 6 felons.

Elon Musk wants the power to cut off programs that pay for your grandma's nursing home stay. There's nothing "efficient" about ripping health care away from millions. www.nytimes.com/.../musk-fed...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
