Trying not to stress when reading the latest news out of D.C.; much of which feels catastrophic to so many Americans. The company my husband worked for for so many years closed its doors and the job search has been agonizing. Trying to remain positive here on so many levels. Goodnight BlueSky fam.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

Chair of the Sen Health Committee, Sen Cassidy was lied to by RFK during his confirmation for HHS secretary. Does Cassidy have the guts to demand testimony from RFK for lying to his face? RFK: Pharma and its media shills are working at turning us into “Land of the Cowed, Home of the Slave.” 😳😏

NEVER. Republicans are abdicating their power. Why? They are cowards & refuse to stand up for the country or the Constitution. Democrats need to speak louder. All of them. Not a handful. It's time for them to pull a page from the Republican handbook. For God's sake, people, wake the fuck up.

Been catching up on the latest news. 🥴 I’m feeling like Musk IS actually the President . . . The incompetence and cruelty in this administration is breathtaking. I resemble this about right now.

Women in particular would be heavily impacted. As many as 69 million women who’ve taken their husband’s last name don’t have a birth certificate that matches their legal name. Unless they have a passport, which is expensive, these women may be unable to vote.

My heart goes out to all of our farmers out there who have been shell shocked by the ignorance that occupies the White House. Please share.

Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian who killed 8 people by detonating a van bomb at Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo, then killed 69 participants of a Workers' Youth League summer camp on the island of Utøya quoted Napoleon: "He who saves his country, violates no law," as justification for the attacks.

This isn’t going to bode well for any of us, but it will cull segments of the population that Musk and Trump feel are a burden on society. We are behaving as if we live on an island with no exposure to anyone outside our bubble. SMDH

Texas public education has become a battleground for right-wing ideologues aiming to embed Christian nationalist values in the classroom and to defund or privatize the state’s public schools, which currently serve about 5.5 million students. This 89th Legislative Session is no different.

Incredible. Although "swallowing" appears to be a bit of an overstatement. "Spits out" might be more accurate.

I seriously doubt Musk’s hacker boys know ANYTHING about the computer language used in the system: COBOL. Which makes this beyond scary they are rooting around in the system. COBOL was one of the computer programming language taught in colleges in the 70’s.

…[b]ringing to a close the appointment & installation of a group of the most unqualified & inappropriate people to run the US government. The last piece of “Party Over People” has now been foisted on a country that failed to recognize the rise of fascism in its midst. Good luck to you all.-SChisholm

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID? The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year. Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest. Hello?

We have a dangerous shortage of air-traffic controllers in the US — Trump should act to end the shortage and restore safety to American air space. (But he’ll probably continue to blame DEI instead.) cc: @axios.com
