Hundreds of fired civil servants at NOAA provided seafood safety, hurricane and snowstorm forecasts, and critical climate science. This week we gathered at their HQ to tell Trump and Elon Musk: we believe in facts, science and truth. Hands off NOAA!

"We have decided to increase funding for the production of tanks and helicopters in Europe. Next week, France will gather the chiefs of staff of countries ready to guarantee future peace in Ukraine." "The future of Europe will not be decided in Washington or Moscow." — Macron. #StandWithUkraine

Donald Trump is lying to you.

How quickly the Republicans forget their own behavior at the SOTU when Biden was in office. Didn't see anyone being kicked out then!

Please forward this thread on Bhattacharya’s terrible recent writing to as many people as you can. Jay Bhattacharya has his Senate hearing today, and the NYT publishes a fawning opinion essay about him (just as happened during the Kavanaugh and Gorsuch hearings). People are trying to whitewash him.

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

So much winning

Welcome to Tammany Hall. White House edition.

Trudeau’s message to American people: 'Your government has chosen to do this to you' https://www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/03/04/trudeaus-message-to-american-people-your-government-has-chosen-to-do-this-to-you/

Ski resorts, Yellowstone, Tesla dealerships….I haven’t seen mobs this angry since the Romans killed Caesar.

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Let me say this plainly: If Trump, Elon Musk and Republicans get their way, up to a million Illinoisans will lose health care coverage. It's time to make your voice heard — let them know if they take Medicaid away, you’ll take their job away.

[email protected] This is what. Apple gave me when I started typing in HR@, I tapped on it and used it. Just in case there are others out there as naive as I am.

When I submitted a list to HR of all that I’d accomplished….i started to type HR@ and my iPad suggested the rest of the address, so I selected that. This morning I went to submit another report and noticed the email that Apple suggested…..is a fake email.

"the house of the USAID mission director in Kinshasa had been looted, and videos of the ransacking began circulating on social media..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Say goodbye to the US as the best place in the world to be a scientist. 🧪

For what it’s worth, when I spent years in Afghanistan and Iraq, the most powerful thing I ever saw was USAID digging wells & repairing schools. The most effective power we will ever have.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

The U.S. attorney in Washington warned that his office would pursue charges against ‘anyone who impedes’ Elon Musk or his staff.

Can attys. General (of blue states) sue Musk-rat and minions for stealing private info of their states’ residents, in class-action style? Or something? My private info has been compromised……someone needs to pay…

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
