A tearful moment that shouldn't go unnoticed.

I hear you. There’s so much going on, trying to stay sane feels like it’s own battle.

Approximately 40.6 million children and adults receive healthcare coverage through Medicaid and CHIP, safeguarding their access to medical services.
Don't cut my Medicaid!

A Friday Night Massacre at the Pentagon Trump’s purge started with his firing of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top Navy officer, and the vice chief of the Air Force.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Trumpers Attack Meidas WITH LIES to Shut Us Down By Ben Meiselas

They’ve defamed us, they’ve doxxed us, they’ve sued us and they’ve threatened our lives but we are not backing down. We will NEVER back down. They are scared of us and the power of this community. www.meidasplus.com/p/trumpers-a...

Holy shit this cartoon.

The executive director of Fair Wisconsin, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, tells me she's heard from multiple families whose children's gender-affirming care was reinstated after my reporting.

NLRB drops its own defense against the claim, setting itself up to lose and be dissolved.

Oligarchs doing oligarch things

The Trump Administration is declaring and out-and-out war against people of color, women, and other minorities. It's not that Trumpers and Musk want a colorblind society. That's a lie.
They want to keep back everyone who isn't Christian and White. Period.
They want to keep us all down.

The Purge Wrecking the civil service

Trump doesn’t just want civil servants to leave in droves, he want them to feel traumatized and hate coming to work.

The sun is just barely backlighting the trees at the top of the berm. There's some effluent with a nice microbial tail. The sky is a gradient of dark to light.

I have my favorite landscape photos in the home screen folder. This one is of Mammoth Hot Springs, first light, mid January, about -25°F
I was keeping the camera in my shirt to keep it warm.

I just want to hear one White House reporter ask Trump how Musk is qualified to walk into a federal agency of which he lacks any training (like HHS or USAID for instance) and appropriately delegate budget cuts.

Conservative NFL fans are demanding a Super Bowl boycott after they discovered that the “Black National Anthem” will be performed on Sunday in New Orleans. Over the years, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” has been sung during the NFL pregame events—and has always sparked some type of controversy.

Yes, this elected Klansman actually said this, OUT LOUD, to reporters!🤯

When someone tells you who he/she is, believe him or her. Lying to yourself will only end up hurting yourself more later.

Chris Hayes is a real one.

Happening now: Hospital staff and community members are currently protesting outside of the Seattle Children’s Hospital demanding the reinstatement of gender affirming surgeries for trans youth.

Why are people surprised that white supremacist Elon Musk would rehire another white supremacist at DOGE?

Apparently, a Sieg Heil is only an “ambiguous gesture without a clear intent or meaning” when Elon Musk does it.
