The United States Institute of Peace is a private, independent nonprofit not a federal agency. Trump and Musk have no more authority to take it over than they have to seize assets of the American Red Cross or replace the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops with Elon Musk’s young stooges.

Cory Booker has been holding the Senate floor for 15 hours to call out Trump’s harm to Americans. More of this energy from every Democrat please.

Watching @booker.senate.gov hold the Senate floor and read the stories of his constituents is my Super Bowl. This man is a force. Let’s show him some support! #americanpolitics #UsSenate #CoryBooker www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

I got my plying dragon from @fiberygoodness.bsky.social this week. It arrived so quickly and is beautiful. I also love the adorable card and sticker that came with it. I’m so excited to start playing with it!

I do not see the humor in this security leak. Yemen, a land that has been ravaged by war and is a human rights and humanitarian aid crisis, was bombed by the US. What was done was sheer evil enacted to open shipping lanes so the rich can get richer.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.
