A Texas state representative boasts that his kid’s school is one of the “least vaccinated” in the state and that should be celebrated, in case you are wondering why Texas just approved a bill to make exemptions to childhood vaccines for school entry easier to get. www.rawstory.com/schatzline-s...

Heads-up: There is an outbreak of salmonella in cucumbers. Before you use or buy cucumbers, please check out the recall. It seems HHS is silencing FDA and CDC scientists and communication staff on this too! We only see media sites messaging about this on the socials.

NEW: I've been told that Matthew O'Brien, the former research director for the anti-immigrant group FAIR hired as an immigration judge under Trump and then fired under Biden during his probation period, is apparently back on the bench in a management position at the Annandale immigration court.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov If Schumer votes for cloture and you do not immediately call for his resignation for betraying the ideals of the Democratic Party, I will not ever vote for either of you again, and will use every avenue in my power to make sure you are not re-elected.

This likely confirms that the decision to arrest him was made at the highest levels of government, a terrifying return to the policies of ideological exclusion last seen used during the heights of the Cold War. A very, very worrying precedent at the start of this government.

Think about how ludicrously dishonest the Republicans are - apparently immigration is out of control and there are too many immigrants but suddenly we can handle an influx of 10 MILLION foreigners, as long as they’re rich.

Looks like 25% tariffs on everything, with one major exception: a 10% tariff on oil and gas, uranium, biofuels, coal, and other "critical minerals." They also keep the de minimis exception in place for now, but say once a system is developed to apply it (seems unlikely) it will be eliminated.

Every Democrat in Congress should boycott Trump’s State of the Union address — or even better, walk out as he begins speaking. #SOTU

Democrats should NOT negotiate with Trump and his sycophants in Congress. If the Republican majority can’t get their act together to prevent a government shutdown, that’s on them. Democrats need to grow some balls and stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism. Angry posts on social media won’t cut it.

As Trump promised, the Alien Enemies Act will be invoked. The law is a wartime authority that can be only used against any noncitizen from a country at war with the United States, regardless of whether they are in the country legally or not. Its use for immigration enforcement purposes is unlawful.

I have insomnia a lot lately so may as well share what’s literally keeping me up at night. It’s a long list but tonight it’s flu. Yes, H5N1, but also seasonal flu. Firing federal scientists brings a flu-filled future. Have you ever wondered how flu vaccine strains are chosen?

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.
