🚨 🧵 There’s an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas that isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Meanwhile, federal health agencies are being silenced by communication restrictions. Here’s what you need to know: (1/12)👇👇

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

Trump wants to close the Department of Education. In VA-04, this would cost our schools millions of dollars. Rep. Jahana Hayes discussed how @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to ensure every child gets the high-quality education they deserve.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Hey resisters. How about we do a Friday night Defenders of Democracy boost. Fiona “Fi” Webster @fiona-webster22.bsky.social is getting so close to 40K followers. She is a great friend and a great follow. I highly recommend you check out her page and hit that follow button. Let’s do this 💙💪

🧑‍🎤 And remember... 😅 Tr+mp was one of the first to be vaccinated because he almost died. 🙃 Even then he downplayed the vaccine and more people died. 😬

Canada wins…

Felon Trump, a proven liar, fraud, abuser, with double-talk... taking every possible side of every possible issue in public comments. Trump has been controlled by Putin since 1984 when he first sold condos at inflated prices to the Russian mafia.

I wanted to make sure this was real before posting it bc it's that bad. And, hopefully, very liberatory. Slava 🇺🇦 💙 www.newsweek.com/trump-europe...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Steven Bannon and Donald Trump have announced the first program at the newly seized Kennedy Center will be a “ Celebration of Jan 6” featuring the ‘Jan6 Choir’ of insurrectionist, traitors, cop beaters and common criminals. THIS IS DONALD TRUMP’S NEW AMERICA.I AM BEYOND DISGUSTED. #ProudBlue

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

So he still thinks he’s king? His approval ratings are the lowest ever 😳‼️

And there it is. There’s our constitutional crisis. What will it be, people? Dictatorship or democracy? It is up to us. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Ukraine being sold down the river.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 European government officials are working on a new, comprehensive package to increase defense spending and support Kyiv, - Berliner Zeitung 🇩🇪 Baerbock hinted that it could be ~€700 billion: "We will launch a large package that has never been seen on this scale before."

“Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...

“‘Chaos and confusion’ as Trump’s mass firings impact the basic functions of government” www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Turns out we need DEI to survive because mediocre white dudes ain’t cutting it.

Lots of good FOIA folks also took the fork…

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

When I was 14, a friend and I wandered into a political gathering, not realizing what it was—until I saw people wearing Nazi armbands. I ran like hell and didn’t stop until I got home. Hate grows when ignored. That’s why protests are happening today at state capitals across the U.S. at noon. #Resist

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’ve been wracking my brain for 20+ years about how to best make the case to Americans about the necessity of government. Abruptly laying off the entire National Nuclear Security Administration was not really on my list of options, but maybe it will do.

We shouldn’t have patience for Dems who refuse to hold the line. We’re the opposition party—everything should be about obstruction unless it benefits us. No more tolerance for those who won’t get on board. We tried that, it got us nowhere. “Don’t upset Joe Manchin, we need his vote. Same w/Sinema.”

Clarity from a distance.

Trump ripped away 60 years of civil rights gains on day 1 in office. 3 weeks later and the @TheBlackCaucus has been SILENT. What is going on?!!!!!

I told you that the Judges would step up

Perfect 👌 👏👏👏👏

BREAKING: NIH admits funding freeze is illegal, will resume issuing grants open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Ladies they are coming for our voting rights! Call your representatives and tell them to stop this. Married women could be stopped from voting under SAVE Act www.newsweek.com/married-wome...

"Under no circumstances should any sane person take his health advice. Nor should any senator consent to give him authority over government agencies that regulate our food and medicines."

Only red states like Louisiana, West Virginia, Tennessee and more will suffer from Nazi Musk/MAGA regime destroying the Education Dept as they rely heavily on federal funds. Thriving blue states like New York, California and Massachusetts already fund their own education systems.

I truly cannot fathom the inner workings of minds capable of cutting off AIDS and malaria medications to people who may die without them. What kind of country makes life-saving drugs only for pay, and lets people deemed worthless die to cut taxes for the rich? What moral bankruptcy is this!?
