Mark Kelly is a Veteran and Hero. Both he and his wife, Gabrielle Giffords are both exemplary public servants. Elon Musk calling Mark Kelly a traitor is just more of Musk's gaslighting. He and his co-president, Donald Trump are very, very good at gaslighting, & they're also VERY transparent at it.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Moulton: He doesn’t have any sons or daughters who served in the military after 9/11. If just one of them had signed up, maybe he would know that we served on the ground alongside Canadian troops, French troops, troops from the UK, the Danes, the Poles—And you know, they lost a lot of lives there

The future of the Department of Education—and of the students with disabilities who depend on it—will likely hinge on the world views of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

Young people hear this all the time: education is how you build a future. But if they come from a family that can’t write big tuition checks, they may get crushed by debt. And their path may get even rockier now that the GOP wants to slash Pell Grants and student loans.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

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.

No matter what it is said tonight, our communities are beautiful, strong and amazing. We are human beings that define our collective power and dignity by our radical, joyful existence, shared love, inherent value & our own will —not discriminatory or hateful policies. No laws can redefine who we are

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.
