I’ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says here—but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute. This is the Trump admin’s war on diversity: if you’re not their version of “perfect,” you’re not worthy. Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.

Early intervention is critical for newborn babies and parents. That’s changing under Trump. • CDC’s newborn hearing program cut — states may lose follow-up care • Genetic screening panel disbanded — fewer rare conditions caught early • Maternal health survey scrapped — less data to improve outcomes

1/ A year ago, I was examining North Carolina’s budget when two unusual items caught my attention–spurring an investigation that reveals how political and religious favoritism by lawmakers can harm some of society’s most vulnerable people. #ncpol @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/nort...

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

New from me: A school district in Pennsylvania voted against adding a Black author's book about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to the curriculum. Then, the community decided to do something about it.

TWO NEAR MISSES WITHIN 90 MINUTES - One in DC, the other in Chicago. This comes less than one month after the country's deadliest crash in decades AND in the midst of a Trump/Musk assault on FAA staffing.

Per @taracopp.bsky.social: “FAA staff fired over the weekend included personnel that worked radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, among others. Hundreds were fired, just weeks after a fatal mid-air collision in DC killed 67.”

The SAVE Act disenfranchises our military heroes and Native American communities. Military IDs and Tribal IDs won't be accepted as proof of citizenship, making it harder for these groups to exercise their right to vote. #StopTheSAVEAct

There’s so much chaos coming from the Trump administration — but don’t miss this: Georgia Republicans just dropped a new voter suppression agenda. They want to end early voting, kill the vote-by-mail system, and make it harder to register to vote. Big fight ahead. ⬇️

Celebrating ALL Black Americans who led the way and were courageous enough to risk all for today and tomorrow's generation of Black Americans - and ALL Americans. Yeah we are still doing that, and like me you don't need to be black to celebrate courage like this...

Valleys are flooding just so Donald Trump could brag that he "turned on the water in California." Planes are crashing just so Donald Trump could brag that he "trimmed the staff at the FAA." He is such a simple-minded person who never thinks of consequences. Maybe because he has never faced any.

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

Yes, these pre-emptive pardons were smart, given that 47 has made comments that included suggesting Liz Cheney should “be executed” for her work on the Jan. 6th committee. Scary, disgusting, sadistic words, be they actual threats, or just more toothless rantings of a weak, malignant narcissist
