HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

I’m glad Kansas City lost because the only 3peat I wanted to see was the @lvaces.bsky.social and if they couldn’t have it then I definitely didn’t want KC to have it.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner. Trump's 25% tariffs aren't just going to raise prices - they're going to put Texans out of business. Many Texas truck operators, warehousing companies, car dealers, and more won't survive this tax hike. www.texastribune.org/2025/01/30/t...

@indivisible.org has a script you can use to call your senators to tell them to vote no on RFK Jr., and if there's one takeaway you can take from this hearing, it's that you should use it.

Call your senator, #NOLASky. Cassidy has taken an oath to do no harm. With measles now in Texas, our neighbor, schools closing in Dallas from the flu, how quickly will they be here with Super Bowl & Mardi Gras? We CANNOT afford RFK Jr. to be confirmed.

And that wasn’t idle speculation. The ADA came about in large part because of the dramatic protests of disabled activists. This was the “Capitol Crawl” in March 1990. The ADA finally passed in the House soon after.

I’m not an HR lawyer but, particularly based on Elon’s track record of not paying severance at Twitter, I wouldn’t suggest people consider a one-word “resign” email as a legally binding contract for federal employment.

Continue to support and encourage the enterprise to maintain the values of real life DEI. We are already an increasingly inclusive, growingly diverse field. Incumbent on all of us to continue progress that has been made in recent years.

My heart goes out to the family of Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood and a warrior for reproductive rights and freedoms. She dedicated her life to advocating for women's health and served on the board of the National Women’s Law Center.

You’ve definitely heard of the Costco DEI story by now, but it’s even more beautiful when you know the full background. The shareholders put together a list of proposals to run by the board. Proposal 4 reads: “SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REQUESTING REPORT ON THE RISKS OF MAINTAINING DEI EFFORTS” 🧵

Today in Oversight: Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned. How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?
