THREE MORE CALLS JUST MADE COME ON LET'S DO IT TOGETHER. Took me all of 5 minutes and I got to voice my frustration out loud

DOGE’s unprecedented attacks on federal workers are hurting working families across the country. Federal workers are members of our communities who work hard to keep our country running, but now, they fear for their jobs and their livelihoods. These are some of their stories.

Get arrested preventing DOGE goons from entering public buildings, get arrested going into public buildings to find out what DOGE goons are doing, get arrested on the floor during confirmation votes to protest the rubber stamping of unqualified candidates

That’s rich, coming from the guy who used his power as a federal judge to start making (at least) interns and clerks sign nondisclosure agreeements because he was afraid of being outed as a sexual harasser.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Senate Republicans have a plan for everything: 🤷 Skyrocketing costs? Cut taxes for billionaires. 🤷 Schools struggling? Cut taxes for billionaires. 🤷 Infrastructure crumbling? Cut taxes for billionaires. @schatz.bsky.social exposed their entire agenda in one sentence.

If you need reliable health information, we got you. updates are regular.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

"The U.S. Postal Service is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable. Nobody voted for this. It is brazenly illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt." - Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2025/02/frid...

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

These are tough times. Many humans across the Coyote Continent are afraid and angry. Remember that each new day is full of promise and possibilities, and also means one less day until the Angry Orange Grandpa meets with Anubis to have his pancreas weighed.

Millions of seniors and working families wouldn’t be able to see a doctor without Medicare or Medicaid. Our leaders should be fighting to protect AND strengthen workers’ health care, not threatening to gut it. www.newsweek.com/white-house-...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

Steve Bannon announced: he spoke with Ric Grenell, and the J6 Choir will perform at the Kennedy Center. Yes, this is real. Don’t wish that it were satire?

Trump and Maine Governor Clash Over Transgender Athlete Ban!

They just now noticed?

Republican Senators are not interested in protecting older Americans -- At last night's "vote-a-rama," they voted against making healthcare more affordable.

Probably what lead to the terrible idea to work for the gov for 13 wasted years of my life seeing nothing but death. 😄
