I'm still seeing comments saying, "I don't need the NWS! My weather app is better!" Folks don't understand that that cool app is just a parasite that feeds almost entirely off NWS data. The ignorance is stunning.

The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult. Trump has repeatedly said he’d like to end the practice, falsely claiming it allows for widespread fraud. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

Marjorie Taylor Greene denied me from speaking at today’s DOGE Subcommittee hearing on foreign aid, even though waivers to do so have always been respected by both sides. I was the first Dem on the DOGE Caucus, and I lead a Subcommittee on @houseforeign.bsky.social. Why is MTG so afraid?

"With Donald Trump back in the White House, access to contraception is, sadly, not something that people can bank on anymore — whether they know it or not. This issue didn’t get much airtime during the chaotic 2024 campaign, but birth control has been in conservatives’ crosshairs for years."

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

It’s true. Joe Biden had EXACTLY the same deal with Mexico that Trump just announced — except he didn't have to threaten a trade war to get it. Let’s see if the mainstream media reports this accurately. (Don’t hold your breath!)

Pete Buttigieg called Trump “despicable” after he blamed Buttigieg for last night’s collision between a commercial plane and a helicopter. Although the cause of the collision still isn’t clear, Trump has blamed the crash on air traffic controllers, the helicopter pilots, and DEI at federal agencies.
