Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

I do think we should actually be publicly demanding that our local officials pledge to support eviction freezes and mortgage pauses if and when Musk crashes banks. People need to know what's at stake, and electeds need to have that legislation on hand ready to deploy.

Mr. Bree is on his way home to sign us back up for teacher insurance, and even though I didn't have to do anything except for try to navigate the marketplace and then use it for a couple medical copays, I still would like to reiterate that YOUR INSURANCE BEING TIED TO YOUR EMPLOYMENT IS A SCAM.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

If I "saved money" by not paying my heat bill during this -40 C cold snap, how much do you think it would actually cost once the pipes burst? That's what Elon is doing.

This is going to crash our economy. Tourism to National Parks helps sustain not just the parks, but all of the small (and often red) towns near them. Please be prepared to protect the parks (to stop the sale of the land to the highest bidder, which is coming) and for the bubble burst.

I wonder how many Congresspeople have been on Medicaid as an adult. Something tells me that number is quite low, and that's important to think about every time potential Medicaid cuts arise.

THIS. It would matter. Truly. In the 1850s, when a congressman routinely threatened and insulted two key congressional reporters, they stopped reporting him. He apologized.

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

The great thing about this video is that it's shot in Quebec — meaning this Cybertruck is legally required to have snow tires on. It has snow tires and it STILL can't move.

Went for a walk in the forest today and found these quotes written on wood and hung on trees. Im grateful to whoever did this… I needed it, sharing in case you need it too. I’d not seen the Emily Dickinson thing before today, but someone posted it here earlier, and then it was in the forest too 🧐

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

Genuine legal question: Why has no lawyer tested whether Elon is government or not with a lawsuit about his many false claims? He is slandering people and it is losing them their jobs. Sure, maybe he's protected as DOGE. But that would have massive implications for 1A claims Re Xitter.
