Ah yes, focusing on the issues that impact regular Americans.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

As far as I can see, the team at @wired.com is doing best journalism in the USA right now.

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts. @democracydocket.com's 16-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Very worthwhile article.

@lisamurkowski.bsky.social Thank you for holding strong on the wholly unqualified Hegseth nomination.

Love to see it

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. SHARE EVERYWHERE!

Absolutely unhinged. Might as well give cats medical licenses. This comes from not only a complete ignorance of the faulty, fraudulent technology, but a deep disdain for expertise and education. They don’t believe in the inherent necessity of human training and education.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

Of all of Trump's unhinged cabinet picks, Bob Kennedy for HHS may be the absolute worst. Let’s make sure this worm-brain is never confirmed by the Senate. These letters make a huge difference & don’t take but a minute. Click below to send yours today!

This is the official rapid response page of the Democratic Party, holding Trump and MAGA extremists accountable. Welcome to FactPost.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/EC9Y1x2d

To my mind Brian Tyler Cohen is a national treasure: clear/ compelling/analytic/powerful/courageous and also funny. We need his voice more than ever. In today's post, he is angrier than I've ever seen him - and he's right to be angry.
