I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

They're already shutting this stuff down. And giving the GOP this means they get the okay to continue shutting stuff down with NO WAY for Congress to push back. THIS is the pushback. Now. Here.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

I recently saw a cybertruck with one of those "I bought this before I knew Elon Musk sucked" bumper stickers and... I mean... that's worse?! That's definitely worse. If you didn't know by the time we were at the cybertruck stage... I mean come on.

Your annual reminder that Intuit/TurboTax have spent 20 years using their lobbying power to prevent the federal government from offering you free and functional electronic tax filing. DirectFile finally delivers that, but they haven't stopped trying to kill it. www.opensecrets.org/news/2024/02...

Yes, also known by the acronym DARVO, or “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”. Trump and other insecure right-wingers do it all the time, almost reflexively and it should be called out more.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Really loving how many accounts whose “resistance” seems to exist exclusively of reposting eachother, complaining about people who don’t follow back, making shitty AI generated images and calling Trump some variation of “orange guy” like it is the sickest burn ever.
