Hallelujah! Traveling mercies to the Bray family. May you find peace in Spain.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Measles death of unvaccinated child in Texas outbreak is 1st fatality in US in a decade An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first associated with an outbreak that has infected more than 100 people.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

Opinion | Three Former E.P.A. Leaders: You’ll Miss It When It’s Gone When the next environmental catastrophe arrives, who will be there to deal with the emergency and its aftermath?

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..."

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

And you also, my dear!

Truth.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Some people fly to Florida for the relaxation, others? Exoneration. SMH.

But she nailed it with that screw-punch-driver in her non dominant hand while tossing back her carefully highlighted and finger-curled extensions with her Shellac’d nails, a bright lip smiling through!

If you ever wondered what you’d do if you lived in Germany when the Gestapo began rounding people up and putting them in camps, congratulations. Now you get to find out.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

She said it. We told you. Over and over again. #Wetoldyouso

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I support the J6 Amendment. Thanks @joyannreid.bsky.social

READ THIS AND REMEMBER.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand.

Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

A Brutal Beginning: Orienting Ourselves Amid the Shock and Awe We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.

"We should all be asking ourselves what rules and laws we are willing to break. What lines are we willing to cross? What are we unwilling to passively accept? To create as much justice and safety as possible, we have to defy authority and disobey."

Thank you, @Senator Richard Blumenthal. Our Afghani allies deserve our thanks and our help.

Let’s ask Hitler if that was a nazi salute…
