I finally got the audiobook version of The Message I requested some time ago, and followed my first listen with this conversation of great clarity, www.c-span.org/program/book....

Distraught families from across the country have already started reaching out about clothing items they say they recognize.

Absolutely ... just folding like deck chairs ...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

For DC STEM folks looking for work, this may be helpful.

Working as designed ...

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

This vote is simple: should we have a king or not

I'll add it doesn't even matter if he does support Hamas (not that I believe he does) - everyone is entitled to due process. Everyone.

The government claims Mahmoud Khalil was already in NJ on his way to Louisiana by the time his habeas petition was filed—an argument that the NY federal court lacks jurisdiction. But Khalil's lawyer checked the ICE locator when she filed and even 4 hrs after, and he was listed as still being in NY.

Federal layoffs at Haskell Indian Nations University disrupted classes, financial aid and the women's basketball team. Now, tribes and students have sued, saying the cuts broke treaty obligations.

The evidence of this is all around us.

Weak and delusional, as always ...

A million percent; this is beyond disgraceful.

Agencies from Social Security to the IRS store sensitive data on millions of Americans. Here's what the government knows about us – and what's at risk as DOGE seeks access to the data.

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

More than 130 people in west Texas and New Mexico have been sickened by measles. The outbreak started in a county with a vaccination rate around 80%.

Yay! New show from @raquelwillis.com ♥️✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 youtu.be/gvjbPVzvmsI?...

Absolutely.

We are completely broken to make decisions like this. We deserve the weakened science we get.

Flu infections are the highest they’ve been in nearly 30 years, and flu deaths this winter have surpassed COVID deaths. In today’s episode, we dig  into some viral trends. Listen here 🎧: https://buff.ly/3Qxzk9y

Despite court order, NIH grants remain frozen. Newly awarded grants, grants with fundable scores, & funds for a new budget cycle of a current project are all *FROZEN*🥶 and not being released. US research is being choked to death & is on life support right now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration wants to employ an ideological litmus test for federal employees, ensuring that they’ll “faithfully serve” his agenda rather than the American people.

The NSA has historically been an instrument the US government uses to attack people's civil rights and this is a reminder that none of us should work for them Also, these purges will not stay contained at NSA and that's one reason this story matters. www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.” For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future. www.science.org/content/arti...

Absolutely ... meritocracy at it's finest. Yet again, we're increasing our supply of mediocre white men over more competent everyone else. This is clearly the point.

Interesting conversation containing some good points, and yes, I'm excited about the recent highest-energy neutrino detected recently also, but that does NOT address the despair many young scientists are feeling right now. They still have to eat.

Stand up to this punk!

Flu infections are the highest they’ve been in nearly 30 years, and flu deaths this winter have surpassed COVID deaths. Dr. Katelyn Jetelina and Dr. Erica Shenoy join us to help make sense of the latest viral trends.

Excellent information! If you aren't watching this now, get the recording.

Probationaries who have been illegally fired: this article contains information about which law firm to contact in order to join the class action suit. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
