UConn becomes first in the state to put Plan B on campus. dnyuz.com/2025/02/17/u...

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

If sent to the 2026 ballot, voters would have to reaffirm support of Prop 139. HCR 2058 would effectively reverse the language of the constitutional amendment protecting abortion. coppercourier.com/2025/02/19/h...

FDA memo bans the words ‘woman,’ and ‘disabled.’ List of more than two dozen "prohibited words" circulates at FDA. White House calls it an error and says the list may have misinterpreted Trump’s gender order. www.reuters.com/world/us/fda...

I guess I might not be as steady on the phone with elected reps as I had hoped. I was chatting with an aide at the office of Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R, gerrymandering) about NIH funding when this little guy heard the stress in my voice and ran in to give me kisses.

☎️ Call your state Reps and state AG to resume NIH funding 👇🏻

There. Fixed it for good. 🇨🇦

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Cowards. It would be hilarious if it went viral as a result of the Streisand Effect, where the suppression of something makes it even more interesting…

The Kennedy Center, currently run by gay quisling and Trump toady Richard Grenell, has cancelled the concert by the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, performing alongside the National Symphony Orchestra previously scheduled for May. Their hate has no shame. www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/18/k...

Any questions?

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Dark Pence is back.

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Gonna drop this here.

After his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon abdicated his throne and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, where he lived until his death in 1821. His living conditions were poor, and he faced strict surveillance from the British authorities.

That’s more like it.

What's this you say about censorship, Elon? Just today, Twitter hit famed political cartoonist Mike Luckovich with an account violation and REMOVED this "free speech" from your own platform.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

You in AZ LD6? Represented in Congress by Juan Ciscomani? Worried who has access to your data? Know someone who Musk has fired via illegal access to govt data? Call your Rep! He's all in on #DOGE. 520 459 3115 www.12news.com/article/news...

Don’t worry CD6 Juan Ciscomani understands that #PresidentElonMusk is causing “uncertainty” but he’s glad I reached out to him. Glad there’s already challengers!
