With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

@statesprojectus.bsky.social has been the best investment in Democratic electoral politics for years, and they need our help winning the Virginia Governorship and holding onto state-house majorities this year. We are tapped into the org and can help you get involved. Every year is an election year!

Protect Our Communities and Block the Confirmation Join us in urging our our Senators to block the nomination of Bill Essayli to the US Attorney's office.

Anti-LGBTQ, 1/6-insurrectionist-defending Bill Essayli is Trump’s handpicked goon for California in the U.S. Attorney’s office. Our Senators can stop his nomination though. Call @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov and tell them to β€œwithhold their blue slips.” Read more at stopessayli.org

Fully restore funding to NWS and NOAA, save lives and advance science Text SIGN PQHWQN to 50409 β€” The United States' weather and climate research capabilities are being crippled by devastating budget cuts that undermine our ability to predict extreme weather events and the long-term impacts of climate change. The recent flash floods in Texas that tragically claimed 78 lives exposed concerning gaps in warning systems and staffing at the National Weather Service. Key roles responsible for coordinating with local authorities on evacuation orders were left vacant due to funding shortfalls. This failure to adequately warn endangered communities is unacceptable. Furthermore, the proposed FY2026 budget decimates funding across federal science agencies - the National Science Foundation faces a 55% cut, NASA's Earth science division a 52% cut, and NOAA an alarming 39% cut that entirely eliminates its research division OAR. The USGS and EPA also face crippling cuts of 31% and 53% respectively. Nearly all staff behind NOAA's vital Climate.gov website have already been fired. These reckless cuts jeopardize America's pioneering work in weather prediction and climate modeling that has saved countless lives and benefited industries from agriculture to urban planning. Gutting funding for meteorology, climate research, and observational programs is short-sighted and endangers our ability to prepare for future disasters. I urge you to fight to restore full funding and staffing at NOAA, NASA, NSF, EPA, USGS, DOE and other agencies critical to forecasting and mitigating extreme weather and climate change impacts. The safety and economic security of our nation depend on robust investment in these scientific capabilities.

πŸ–‹οΈ β€œFully restore funding to NWS and NOAA, save lives and advance science” hit 5,000 signers!

Tell your Republican Senator(s) You Don’t Want To Pay The Price For Their Billionaire Tax Breaks Republicans in Congress are trying to ram through the Trump Tax Scam, a bill that makes extreme cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. πŸ‘‡
