@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

Trump just announced the United States will be boots on the ground in Gaza, engaging in war crimes.

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

We are a week into the Trump Administration and it can be summed up in one word: lawlessness.

NEW: Fox News reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is revoking General Mark Milley’s security clearance and security detail. A review will determine if Milley should be demoted in retirement for 'undermining' Trump. Milley’s Army portrait will also be removed tonight.

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars.

He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!

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.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

It's just like that too!

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.

No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.

Elected Republican officials are already calling for U.S. citizens to be deported for saying things they dislike. It's only the second full day of the Trump administration.

How bad would you say it's going to get, now that a plurality of American voters have given the keys to the kingdom to madmen?

If @mcuban.bsky.social is down, I would do this in a heartbeat. One hour per night, all facts, no bias, nothing but the unvarnished truth. (Yes this is me shooting my shot)

Today’s anniversary of Roe v. Wade painfully reminds us that the Captured Supreme Court can (and will) shred the fundamental rights Americans have relied upon for decades.

Donald Trump is trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to distract you from the fact that he can’t lower egg prices, pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, and rolled back policies that reduced prescription drug costs.

Don’t let him.

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.”
–President Joseph Biden

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning.

John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.
