Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

"The moment was captured yesterday at what are now the more or less constant CPACs" 😆

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

This is how it’s done.

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

Another brick in the fascist wall: WSJ reports Linda Yaccarino (CEO, X) threatening IPG w/government (Musk) retribution unless they advertise on X platform. www.wsj.com/business/med...

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trump’s policies will likely affect the economy

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

Lawyers at Twitter are reportedly threatening advertisers to spend more money on the platform “or else” Elon Musk will use his connections with Trump to hurt their companies.

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

The case for X being a 1A state actor now is at least colorable. It is controlled by a government official, who uses it for government business, with no real boundary in practice between the government and his private interest in it. It is little different from if a .gov website allowed comments.

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.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

The crazy part is they think they're fooling anyone. newrepublic.com/article/1916...

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

The Great Lakes states have, for years, been fighting an invasion of lamprey eels, which were devastating the fish stocks in the lakes. Trump fired the people who've almost succeeded in doing that. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

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.

Donald Trump plans to take control of the U.S. Postal Service. This will make life harder for those who rely on the USPS to get medicine, purchase home necessities, and stay connected—especially in rural communities.
