BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Kash Patel is dangerous & unqualified to be the Director of the FBI. Use @@standupamerica.bsky.social’s tool and urge your senators to reject his confirmation: act.standupamerica.com/letters/lett...

Endorsing the crime of ethnic cleansing.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

If you're not in the DC area, you should be organizing where you are. But if you are in the DC area, I think you're going to want to come to the Treasury building today at 5pm. It will be newsworthy. www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

The Federal Aviation Administration was using a backup system to send real-time safety alerts to pilots late Saturday because its primary one was “experiencing a temporary outage,” the Transportation Department said.

We have a chance to defeat some of Trump’s most dangerous nominees. But that’s not going to happen unless your senators hear from you: nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

This is how banana republics work: “Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week drawing up lists of people whose work at the bureau has earned disfavor with Trump for a variety of reasons.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

“We can absolutely win this fight.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social explain how you can help stop the nomination of Russell Vought, the architect of Trump’s unconstitutional power grab that set off mass chaos this week. Let’s get to work: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world. Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends. www.kwch.com/2025/01/30/c...

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."

Wooooooooooboyyyyyyy! Senator Jeff Merkley on Pete Hegseth: "What experience does Mr. Hegseth bring? He ran two little micro nonprofits, and he ran them into the ground." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Revealed: Trump Pentagon nominee endorsed extremist Christian doctrine on podcast ICYMI

One of the people convicted in the Jan. 6 attack is declining Trump’s pardon. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," said Pamela Hemphill. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

It should be a bigger story that the President of the United States freed the violent paramilitary wing of his movement from prison.

I can’t get over the irony of someone who would be a racist King or worse being inaugurated as our president . . . on Martin Luther King Day. Vive La resistance!

“In 2024, Donald Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 points,” writes the columnist @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. “Trump and Democrats alike treated this result as an overwhelming repudiation of the left and a broad mandate for the MAGA movement. But by any historical measure, it was a squeaker.”

Vile false equivalence: "Pardons from Biden and Trump flout the rule of law"

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

This is NOT a reason for exercising the pardon power & it's not a legitimate use of presidential authority even if Trump is legally entitled to do it. Rewarding people for their political support of your candidacy by pardoning their kids is a sign of political corruption.

Donald Trump's second inaugural will be remembered for being worse than 59 others, including his first, George F. Will writes. "It was memorable for its staggering inappropriateness."

The chaos isn’t a side effect; it’s the goal. MAGA wants to overwhelm us with cruelty and confusion, hoping we’ll freeze. We can’t. While this moment feels utterly overwhelming, there are battles that we can take on right now.

I couldn’t read this article; the the”triumphant return” was too much.

They’re already feeling scammed and he isn’t even in office yet.

The monetization of the presidency: "The stunning launch of $TRUMP caught the entire industry off-guard, and speaks to both his personal influence and the ascendancy of cryptocurrency in his administration." www.axios.com/2025/01/18/t...
