Trump is now eyeing a loyalist to fill the role, because nothing says “trust the data” like hand-picking someone who already agrees with you. Starting next month, expect to see “tons of new jobs” magically appear… and then another… and another. At this rate, we’ll all be employed twice.

Y’all - protests work!

Dollar store airline Avelo is shutting down West Coast flights permanently in response to protests and bad publicity for their outrageous decision to help the #Taco illegally deport thousands of people captured by ICE to foreign hellish prisons.

Good morning.
We usually *try* stick to public health, but today we’re channeling our inner Whitney: where are the receipts??

Transparency is a public health issue, after all.

Georgia runoff sees turnout drop 10%. Ranked choice voting can help. - FairVote Georgia held a runoff election in the Democratic primary for Public Service Commission District 3. Turnout fell 10% from the primary.

Since 1992, the median turnout decline for Georgia's statewide runoffs has been 44%.

Georgians deserve better than high-cost, low-turnout runoffs.

#RankedChoiceVoting is a better, faster, cheaper alternative to runoffs.

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

Bwahahaha.

Rhode Island has sued President Trump more than a dozen times - The Boston Globe R.I. Attorney General Peter Neronha, with other state attorneys general, have challenged the Trump administration on birthright citizenship, elections, federal funding cuts to education, public health...

“The train kept rolling, all night long ……”

We’ll keep fighting, every time Trump violates the Constitution and harms Rhode Islanders.

As the wins pile up and harm is stopped here, Americans in red states, like NH, will ask their leaders, “Who’s helping us?”

Impeach him and be done with it.

Senators: It’s your duty to support and defend the Constitution, not a red hat!

Worker safety agency NIOSH lays off most remaining staff Laid-off employees ranged from those working in firefighter health programs, to those approving new respirators.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.

RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”

Total BS.

The billionaires are the enemy.

Pass it on.

DOGE Was Bad. Schedule F Will Be Worse. An executive order will convert 50,000 government employees into de facto political appointees who serve only at the president’s pleasure.

A bad idea:

“If far more civil servants can be summarily dismissed, they’re less likely to risk frank conversations with senior administration officials. The quality of their advice will suffer, and their chief interest will be in preserving their jobs by pleasing their political masters.”

Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute while standing behind the US presidential seal on January 20 2025

It has been 70 days.
70 days since Trump took office.
70 days since Elon Musk fired off a Nazi salute.
70 days of terminations, illegal executive orders, defied court orders, & racist belly aching.
We don't bow to kings, and we don't give quarter to Nazis.
Do not comply in advance.

Rep. Jayapal: "If you try to eliminate birthright citizenship, jail people for free speech, slash funding, use Cold War-era regulations to do mass deportations, then yeah. You're going to get nationwide injunctions. So maybe if you don't like the injunctions, stop doing the illegal stuff."
