Watching Americans organically take action against Musk. He’s hurting people- invading their privacy, cutting funds/grants they rely on, smearing & firing people who work at agencies investigating his actions. This is a reaction to Musk’s abuse of power. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

The thinner tree was cut down years ago, and the larger one has been supporting and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn. This natural phenomenon is known as inosculation.

Right, Senator Hassan. IDEA guarantees students with disabilities a full education. Here's 1 of our #QuestionsForLinda: How will schools fund specialized equipment and support staff for students with disabilities when the Trump administration wants to cut these funds for more tax cuts for the rich?

Guess what? We’re still here. 😂 People are asking what they can do: 1) Keep calling your electeds! 2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that) Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

We need a judge to rule that a fake agency called DOGE run by a megalomaniac billionaire who bought power from Trump for $288 million does not have a legal right to cut government spending and look at our Social Security information. This is madness.
