Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Hunkered down for our cyclone. We’ve already had thunder and lightning, and our power keeps flickering. I’ve got our glassybabies burning all over the house and flashlights at the ready. #wawx #pnw

You may be asking “What’s up with this wild weather!?” Here’s your answer: a textbook mid-latitude cyclone is spinning right offshore of the Pacific Northwest. She’s a beaut! High wind warnings & wind advisories posted west of the Cascades. Downpours & isolated storms also expected. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

It’s wild to me that we still toss around “unemployment rate” and “# of new jobs added” like those mean anything in particular in an era when you can very easily be fully employed and living in your car.

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.

It’s a snow day, so the girls and I are home. So far I’ve made us breakfast, promoted my books that are now in KU, cleaned, called my elected officials, showed my youngest the movie Enchanted, and put in a grocery order. All before 1pm. 🙌

We are not getting the big snowstorm my weather app promised all day. Just light flakes that’ll stop in a few hours now. 👎 Initially it showed it’d be 5pm-5am with heavy periods of snow. #convergencezone #pnw #wawx

This is the moment we’ve always been headed towards. If the President refuses to follow a court’s order we are in deep crisis. The GOP has courted this disaster.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

We had a dancer show up to an expensive workshop sick. I could see how pale and ill she looked. She got sent home pretty quick. But sounds like mom sent her w/no mask, looking like death, knowing she had a 103 fever. She was there at least 30 minutes, so if we’re all sick next week 🫠😡
