My 10-year-old told me she wants to start getting more "first-hand news." So, we signed her up for @teenvogue.com's newsletters, because I can't imagine a better source for young people trying to navigate the world right now.

Elizabeth Ramsay is a professor in Miami, FL, where many of her students depend on Pell Grants and apprenticeships to pursue their dreams. Those lifelines for her students are in danger of being cut by the Trump administration. #ProtectOurKids @afthighered.bsky.social

I was assured that Gavin Newsom was toast (pun intended) politically after the LA fires. 52% of Californians (55% of likely voters) approve of how Governor Newsom is handling his job — (+8 from Oct 2024) Notably, approval of Newsom is HIGHEST IN LOS ANGELES (61%). www.ppic.org/publication/...

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

Crockett: They have a Trump trifecta. So, if the government shuts down, it is going to be on Trump and his minions. It is not going to be on us because we weren't elected to gut social security, medicaid, medicare, and USAID. That's not what we campaigned on. So that's not what we're going to do.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Media says: Where are the Dems? I say: WHERE the hell is the media? 📌Thousands of us stood in the cold here in Wisconsin and across the country protesting Musk's attack on our privacy, and it barely got a mention. 📌Dems are fighting, but the media has once again fallen at Trump's fat, little feet.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power. The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.

Fair warning—the report on the Musk Insurrection I'm writing will be about the length of a book, and is something PROOF-readers will want to consume over a period of days. It's long-form metajournalism with countless chapters and citations. I hope to get it out soon; details on when as I have them.
