Worst. Episode. EVER.

Current mood

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Already time for a break

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

And apparently there is no evidence that she or her parents are here illegally www.newsweek.com/texas-school...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

I made up this "vancing" thing and make it look like an entry from a dictionary. A photoshop artist (as tagged) made an image out of it. As a 3D artist I plan to make one myself, but for now, I would like this to go viral. That's why I repost it:

Simple stuff

Entire government agencies are being reshaped, career experts are leaving and power is shifting — often behind closed doors. ProPublica is investigating. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)

Works as advertised

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

BREAKING: The US Internal Revenue Service will lay off about 6,700 employees on Thursday, in a restructuring that could strain the tax-collecting agency's resources during the critical tax-filing season, a person familiar with the matter said reut.rs/4gI5Ss4

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

I mean this respectfully, but some people have not had enough bad things happen to them that they didn’t ask for. They still think “those kinds of things” only happen to everyone else or on a TV screen. I’m here to tell you that they don’t and this is why we’re not being loud enough.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working to reverse the “accidental” firing of several employees responding to an avian influenza outbreak. While the CDC says the public risk is low, the crisis is hitting the agriculture sector hard, driving egg prices to record highs.

For your daily break, #dogs

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

Trump slams President Zelensky for demanding a seat at peace negotiations over his own country’s future: “You’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it.” (Fact check: Russia started the war against Ukraine.)

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

5 MIN ACTION for folks with Dem senators/reps: call 202-224-3121, ask to speak to your elected. Ask them 1. To be unified as Dems in a boycott of the Mar 4 State of the Union and be LOUD in the press about why. 2. Ask why a govt shutdown in Mar isn't on the table as a tool to resist fascism.

This guy just voted to confirm an anti-vaxxer responsible for a measles outbreak in Samoa as HHS Secretary. These people are Fu*king shameless

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

#ICYMI: We've added eight previously missing disclosures from Justice Clarence Thomas to our Supreme Connections database. The newly added filings, which cover 1992 to 1999, reveal more than 100 gifts or travel-related reimbursements.
