ProPublica found that some of the largest health insurers have created a playbook that prevents people from getting the mental health care they need. Join us tomorrow, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation as we discuss barriers to care. RSVP: https://propub.li/4k4GYWm

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Block new contracts and nationalize his and trump's existing companies.

We can do the same

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Arrest this hacker.

A lot is going on. Here are 3 things for the weekend. #fightback

Hundreds of constituents gathered outside the joint offices of @schumer.senate.gov and Kisten Gillibrand in New York City to tell them to Stand Up & Fight Back! #StopTheCoup #VoughtNo Photos by Donna Aceto

From now on, I am calling them Treason Weasels. Every👏Last👏One👏

I've heard reports that the military branches paused sexual assault prevention and response trainings. That's horrific, against the law, and disastrous for our ability to recruit, retain, and protect women. Secretary Hegseth, you have some explaining to do. Stay tuned for my oversight letter.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

This shitheel Is the reason we do not have the ERA. Glad she got a taste of her own medicine.

Ya think? That's nice. What are we going to do about it?

Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social ! Bringing the ☄️🔥🔥 we need!

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.

So another DOGE kid Elon has taking over the govt id'ed by Wired is Gautier Cole Killian who goes by Cole and even though I need to sleep I had to tell you... that Cole's dad used to work at the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH, as a research doctor. www.researchgate.net/profile/Keit...

It is our honor to serve you. America, you broke through— the media is finally picking up on what’s happening. We love you!! 🦬 💚 🇺🇸

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

Hey @democrats.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov introduce and pass a bill to strip EM of Tesla and SpaceX. Nationalize them. EM is a security risk. This is a 20-alarm fire.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Per an NIH source: “Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

Mexico's president is doing a road trip visiting the most impoverished, rural, or indigenous communities.

I am not firgetting, especially not now.

The whole sordid tale in one paragraph

So true

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military. Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.

Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it

Now that Trump fired 17 Inspectors General, can we dispense with the notion that DOGE [sic] is about government efficiency? Trump just told us -- he doesn't WANT efficiency, he wants graft.

Given that there’s a pause on FDA comms right now, it may be useful for Americans to sign up for Canadian recalls, since many products are sold in both countries. Eg fellow celiacs, this may clue you into products to watch out for on the US side too: recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/subscribe

May I recommend setting up a Proton mail and not using your government work email to file a complaint. And don't do it during your tour of duty hours. Document everything. This isn't legal advice. Just advice from a friend.
