Pretty incredible numbers when you look at how awful the coverage has been. The Facebook posters and I assume Tik tokers have been putting in the work.

Republicans are using the same nonsense now that they did in 1990, when they opposed the Americans with Disabilities Act. Now they're trying to use their hatred of LGBTQ+ people to get section 504 overturned History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!
