It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Look, I know Elon Musk is a thoroughly dishonest guy, but not a day goes by where I’m not pretty thrown by how darn ignorant he is. He says the most ignorant things. Like this right here. He must not even know what “separation of powers” is.👇

….and another 1k employees laid off at the VA, an agency that already has a staffing problem. And the next self executed Republican led recession is right around the corner. Because that’s what they’re doing. On purpose. All that work Biden did to land us softly shot to hell in a handbasket!

Mark Cuban shared his frustrations on Bluesky about the “broken” US healthcare system. His biggest proposed solution is to make medical school FREE for all students. Doing so would encourage many more people to become doctors, ultimately shortening patient wait times and improving access to care.

Dear Bluesky: The following document is one of many filed by USAID foreign service members against the trump administration and also one of many harrowing stories of Americans being abandoned at the behest of President Trump and Elon Musk. I'm going to leave this here.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

When U.S. customs officials denied that Wong Kim Ark was a citizen in 1895, he took his case to the Supreme Court and won. Today, that decision is the focus of debate over who can be an American.

I guess there's no better time than the present to start lobbying your representatives and senators on banning Meta and Twitter. If they can ban tiktok under the guise of "national security," surely we can start lobbying for the ban of meta and Twitter, also for national security and data privacy.

The bipartisan deal Trump and Musk torpedoed would have provided nearly $100 billion to help Americans trying to recover from multiple natural disasters. While every state was set to get funds, North Carolina and Florida—hit hard by hurricanes this year—would have gotten some of the largest amounts.

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days. The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US. PASS IT ON.
