The two male turkeys gang up on the peacock so this morning I sided with the peacock and we walked towards the two to herd them to another paddock

I’m in UK and someone asked me if I was American or Canadian and I almost lied.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Trump is planning massive SSA cuts, gutting an already understaffed agency & forcing office closures nationwide. In Colorado alone, 1 in 6 residents rely on these benefits to stay afloat. For them and the millions of Americans who rely on Social Security, we cannot let him dismantle it.

Jodrell Bank radio telescope today

2/4 Democrats on my walk today #yorkshiredales

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

🤣

Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID: The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.

I've no idea why Trump is being treated as an appropriate broker at all. If this peace negotiation were serious, it would treat Trump as an intermediary of Putin and allow the EU to act as the intermediary for Ukraine. It's a farce that anyone in the international community treats Trump otherwise.

This project is such a remarkable part of celebrating Bradford as UK city of culture 2025. Can’t wait to see it and was so glad to learn about it yesterday at Leeds Society of Architects

So excited to see this awesome piece of work! bradford2025.co.uk/event/tower-...

It takes a LOT more energy, effort, money and political will to fix the city-building mistakes of the past than it takes to do the right things in the first place, even if they SEEM hard to do at the moment. Stop making the mistakes that we KNOW are mistakes.

Some great news for West Yorkshire www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2492809...

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Governor Polis says $570 million in obligated funds have not been released, despite court order. #Colorado #Doge coloradonewsline.com/briefs/color...

We are seeking new leadership. Voting will happen at Denver Dems Reorg on February 15th. Any registered Democrat living in the City and County of Denver may run for party leadership positions. All of the info can be found on our website denverdemocrats.org/reorg

I’m tired of reading that half of Americans voted for 🤡It’s 22% so don’t give him extra credit. There are ~335 million Americans and he got 77 million=22%. 90 million Americans did not vote! And more Americans voted for other candidates as he got less than 50% (there were more than two candidates!)

Elon Musk is grifting the American taxpayers. I'm fighting back with the ELON MUSK Act to ban "Special Government Employees" like Musk from holding government contracts. youtube.com/shorts/4lIr_...

✊ #50states50marches protest! GO CORY BOOKER and other DEMS!! #TrumpsProject2025 #MuskCoup www.youtube.com/live/Wxzo02U...

In Trump’s fantasy politics, he can accomplish anything – but reality will prevail | Andy Beckett I certainly hope so. One detail missed is that although he won popular vote, more than half of the electorate voted against him as there were more than 2 candidates, & he got less than 50%.

USAID should be an independent voice for US soft power, and any efforts to reorganize it must go through Congress. RMs Meeks, Shaheen, Frankel, Schatz letter to USAID acting Administrator:

"Trump’s first actions included demolishing an air travel security group, forcing out the head of the FAA for corrupt reasons, implementing a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers, and sending blanket resignation offers to the remaining FAA employees. Then tragedy struck."

Saw our new town fountain revealed on the way to catch my train 🚆

@digiphile.bsky.social following your members of Congress feed- how up to date is it? Think it’s missing Jason Crow?

Protest today at the White House in response to Trump’s sweeping freeze of all federal aid. This flagrantly illegal power grab will affect every American. It cannot stand. 5pm. Be there if you possibly can. www.mobilize.us/climateactio...

We do not have a king in our country, no matter how highly Donald Trump regards himself. Read my statement after the Trump administration froze virtually all federal funding ⬇️

Needed a walk on Hebers Gyhll today
