Trump/Musk just made Social Security way more important to those of us counting on our 401Ks in retirement. When do you suppose they’ll come for that?

The reckless and chaotic mass firings by the Trump administration are hurting Arizonans. Michigan AG Dana Nessel and I break down the impact in the latest episode of Pantsuits and Lawsuits. Check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

If the Trump government can ignore the people, perhaps the people should ignore the Trump government.

Agencies from Social Security to the IRS store sensitive data on millions of Americans. Here's what the government knows about us – and what's at risk as DOGE seeks access to the data.

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

The Arizona Legislature is working on the state's most pressing educational issue: a mandate that students learn about the Gulf of America. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio... via @azcentral

This phenomenon known as a "planet parade," will feature Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all present at the same time along a line in the night sky on Friday, NASA says.

When they say limit your coffee to two cups a day, i increase the size of my cup. There are ways to get around rules. Bending rules is good trouble

In 1854, Graham insisted on her right to ride on an available New York City streetcar at a time when all such companies were private and most operated segregated cars. Her case was decided in her favor in 1855 …led to the eventual desegregation of all New York City transit systems by 1865. #BHM

One of the first things Arizona lawmakers learn about after they get elected is their immunity from arrest for minor crimes or speeding violations during legislative sessions, and the consequences of abusing that privilege. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

The Harris Elders making America great again.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

NEW WEEKLY! Long agendas this week. Attacks on our water future. Strikers galore. And, the longest ballot yet? We’re approaching the last chance for a bill to advance before legislative deadlines - time to make some noise! 👇 👇 👇

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Inflation heated up more than expected in January, as prices for groceries, housing and energy all rose for Americans in early 2025, complicating President Donald Trump’s agenda.

I will continue to challenge the illegal actions of the Trump administration in court. And we will continue to win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUqx-wPh4k0

Economic Blackout on Feb 28, 2025

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

OPINION | Calls to report our neighbors to ICE — which has wrongfully detained American citizens in the past — aren’t fundamentally about capturing criminals. The point is to terrorize and ostracize.

Elmo says he’s not coming out until 2027.

GSK jeopardized the health of asthma patients to avoid their legal obligations. Arizona's families and children deserve better. Full press release here: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

What a month this week has been. Lemon, it's Tuesday. This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

Odie is feeling overwhelmed by the past 14 days. I’m keeping my head down and focusing on 1 task at a time. Calls & emails to legislators, handing out know your rights cards, joining local meetups & rallies. I can’t do it all but I don’t have to if everyone does something.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.
