I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

The Director of ICE stated on TV yesterday that AOC is the "dumbest person in Congress." He bills himself as a cop who upholds the law, yet his statement is in itself against the law. High ranking officials cannot advocate for or against a political candidate of any party in an official capacity.

Thanks to Trump and the Senate for elevating an unqualified loudmouth—a Fox News conspiracy peddler with a reputation for drunkenness and misconduct—into this role.

8. Use your town square Every one of us has a town square. It may include our social media accounts, our local book club or dinner table. Use your town square to speak out in favor of democracy and against what Republicans are doing. Do not shy away from difficult conversations; seek them out.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Valentine’s Day might be behind us, but not for skunks! 🦨💖 It’s mating season for our stinkiest (and dare we say, most charming?) neighbors. Skunks are on the move searching for love. In fact, a male skunk may travel five miles in one night in the hopes he’ll find a match. 🥹⁣ #Skunks #WildlifeRehab
