As of the end of 2024, the Pathways program has cost federal and state taxpayers more than $86.9 million, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants. Only 6,500 people are enrolled.

Some good news in this sea of suck.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Yasmin Williams opened for Brittany Howard last fall and her music was so lovely, I became an instant fan for life. Now you can, too! And then go buy her latest album, which has been a regular soundtrack to my life since I got it (I'll put that link in comments).

What a bunch of dipshits.

Never ever. And certainly not in advance.

Whereas I have total confidence in Rep. Crockett. She’s fabulous. I made a donation.

That tracks. Vance is the waste, Trump’s the fraud, and Musk’s the abuse.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Area free speech absolutist says journalists he doesnt like should face a “long prison sentence”

A bigger, better TBD? Oh, YUM!

Happy Valentine’s Day and Go, Birds! May you find someone who loves you the way the city of Philadelphia loves the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

WTAF the VA has been notoriously understaffed for YEARS. They need to HIRE 1,000 employees, not fire them.

In case you wondered, it is hard to be 95. It’s also hard to be 95’s daughter. 💜

Let’s haul Lady Liberty to a more welcoming harbor. This is grotesque.

The battle lines are being drawn: Not left vs. right but MAGA vs. people with even an ounce of integrity.

72 million Americans rely on Medicaid. 22 million households per month rely on SNAP. These are the programs Republicans are proposing to cut. This is not about "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse." It's about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Thank you, Denver Public Schools!

Too long.

This is not the USA I want to listen to, let alone live in.

High school senior son has a two-hour delay tomorrow, which means I, too, have a two hour delay! #Winning

I believe racism is a form of willful stupidity because it absolutely blocks you from knowing and understanding all types of things happening right in front of your face.

This is exactly where I was last night when I grew mildly concerned I'd be crushed by the crowd. I was relieved to turn left onto Pine Street and find some literal breathing room. share.inquirer.com/56pRfa #GoBirds
