El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Are your shoes tracking in virus? Maybe something like this to place your shoes in near the outside doors to protect indoor pets and children who are exposed to the floor. Consider taking your shoes off at the door. Bird flu cases are rising. Better to be safe. www.ikea.com/us/en/p/tron...

Good information, when it’s hard to find elsewhere. ⬇️👀🐓 www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/i....

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign. The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

Goooooooooooo.

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.

NEW statement from our @jeffhauser.bsky.social calling for the impeachment of Scott Bessent: "Bessent's decision to hand the unelected Musk and his covert, unaccountable DOGE wrecking crew the keys to the federal money spigot is a blatant attack on democracy that will harm working people."

Good. Now ask why the hell Speaker Johnson & Senate Majority Leader Thune are doing nothing while a random civilian runs amok violating Congress' powers & laws.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

It’s almost as if the Canadian Prime Minister cares more about the well-being of Americans than the American president does.

Senator Chris Van Hollen goes off on Donald Trump: "He's trying to convert those positions into positions can be filled by his political cronies...But what this is, is an attempt to push out these merit-based civil servants, 50 to 60 thousand of them so he can put political hacks in those jobs." 🔥

Devastating. I worked so hard to make this happen in 2022, and now, service members and their families will be trapped in states barring them from receiving reproductive health care. Trump hates veterans and military. thehill.com/policy/defen...

They are absolutely flooding the zone. People are fighting back at every level, on every issue. I know it’s scary, but we have collectively only begun to fight, and we won a big one today. We will keep fighting.

I don't know what to do. Me: Well you can show up for your local public libraries [the only USian institution remaining where the verb 'commoning' has any meaning at all] and here's how. Some people: I don't know what to do.

The MN Supreme Court has ruled that the GOP’s legislative coup was, in fact, unconstitutional. I have some thoughts about it:

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Seeing this story made me realize that @wesburdine.bsky.social and @dbrauer.bsky.social and I should go get some Mock Duck tacos at Reverie soon. www.startribune.com/best-meatles...

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids. Know your rights and make a plan. Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.
