The Trump administration is now threatening to condition and withhold essential California fire aid for political reasons. These are mafia tactics. Full stop. Trump is happy to sacrifice the well-being of the American people if it means settling his own personal scores.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but haven’t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact they’re making it worse. Why the rush?

A former major in the political branch of the KGB Foreign Intelligence Service, Yuri Shvets is the key source behind American Kompromat, the bombshell bestseller that alleges that former President Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset for over 40 years. www.apbspeakers.com/speaker/yuri...

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Fucking anti-vax idiots. We have TB cases growing in numerous states. Now fucking Texas, home to the asshole-on-wheels, has 48 cases of measles and it’s growing. Infuriating. I’m totally deaf in one ear from measles. I’m one of the lucky ones. apple.news/AaNrZuEy3T5q...

Oh? So #Undocumented #Immigrants were used to build SpaceX in Texas? Do tell!

MEASLES OUTBREAK—Texas is reporting an outbreak of measles. At this time, 48 cases have been identified with symptom onset within 3 weeks. 13 of the patients have been hospitalized. 📌All of the cases are unvaccinated or vaccination status is unknown. www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

Donald Trump has moved quickly to undo the progress made with gun safety policies. He shut down the Office of Gun Violence Prevention immediately after taking office. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I need someone to answer this damn question!

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

As another day comes to an end, just know that you can be on stage and not hiding behind a door like little kitty here. You are the leader of your own band, the captain of your own ship or the director of your own movie. Your voice matters and it counts. So speak up! #BeYou
