Extreme weather events leading to death and destruction on the same day that investments to reign emissions and finance adaptation are signed into law-what incredible current and future self-harm 🥲 At least 13 dead, 20 missing in Texas flood as rescue efforts continue

I also want a huge tax cut!!! But the $30,000 tax cut is going to go to the top 1% which I’m not in unfortunately-so unfair!!!

Utterly atrocious that we’re actually collecting less information and are thus less well-informed about the health of the economy!!! Harms from cutting government workforce 101: Economists Raise Questions About Quality of U.S. Inflation Data

Utterly tragic: sleep-walking into a growing crisis getting worse year after year!!!

Miracle drugs don’t come out of nowhere — Harvard Gazette Healthcare, innovation experts say funding cuts to university labs will slow or stop basic research on which breakthroughs are built.

“If you attack the foundation of the building, the building will collapse,” news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

We need to support foundational research more than ever - as a society to have a compact that doing so benefits us all - snd will continue to do so long into the future!!!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com, @lastword.msnbc.com I don’t understand why if Walmart ‘eats the tariffs’ Wall Street won’t punish it when it reports lower earnings and is a less profitable company!!!

@lastword.msnbc.com, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Pls share the portion of the speech that you played at the end of your show by @booker.senate.gov. It was the most raw, moving and heart touching bit of public speaking that I’ve ever been privileged to watch. Thank you for selecting it 🙏

Utterly tragic to not care about people who have to live with scarred lungs 🫁 for the rest of their lives!!! Where on earth does all this cruelty that lashes out on so many vulnerable people in the country and around the world come from??? Horrifying 😰

Who is paying for tax cuts for the rich and corporations? Answer: We are! The actual truth behind unleashing tariffs on all of us-truly awful but especially awful when there is an affordability crisis!!! Understanding Trump’s Tariff Strategies as ‘Liberation Day’ Approaches

@lynch.house.gov Thank you for saying this at the House hearing on Wednesday where national treasures such as @pbs.org and @npr.org were accused of institutional bias: ‘If shame was still a thing, this hearing would be shameful.’

Utterly compelling and rings SO true to anyone who comes from or is familiar with‘developing’ countries-Connections matter and that is fundamentally unfair!!! So important to preserve, protect and strengthen a rules-based order! Once an Economy Switches from Rules to Deals, It’s Hard to Go Back

The most viscerally powerful museum I’ve ever visited and an immense testament to decades of organizing. It will endure in the bones of its visitors for these stories once known must be remembered to both honor immense human suffering and build hope for a more just future.

Slowing critical potentially life-saving research because of ideology and being anti-expertise: heart-breaking 😢 An ominous shadow falls over mRNA technology

So grateful that House Democratic representatives are holding this hearing - so moving to hear from people who have relied on SNAP and are rightly afraid of potential cuts 🙏 democraticleader.house.gov/live

Imagine that what Trump is doing to the economy and rule of law in the US is now even being mentioned in a discussion about Argentina’s long history of sovereign defaults!!! The Dumbest Investment in the World Was Better Than Owning Safe Treasurys

These are the REAL stakes of what is going on 🤯 Can the dollar remain king of currencies?

Undermining Science in the Name of Ideology - Legal Planet The climate for science in America was bad in Trump's first term, as I wrote in a 2019 post. It promises to be worse this time around.

Opinion | An Opening for China, Made in America Trump’s long and growing list of shortsighted actions in Latin America has created an opening there for America’s adversaries, most notably China.

How to lose friends and hurt yourself-a demonstration in real-time happening here and now 🥲 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/o...

Truly awful and so so sad that I won’t see you tomorrow night on @msnbc.com!!! What an atrocious decision especially as we need your voice, strength and moral clarity more than ever 🫶 Someone at the channel should definitely hang their head in shame at this announcement!!! Pls keep educating us 🐦‍🔥

The US would criticize China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for being extractive- e.g. taking revenue from ports of countries it invested in-how is that different from what is currently being demanded from Ukraine to sign over its minerals??? What a fall from any potential high moral ground!!!

Do the geniuses in power not realize that the social safety net Americans rely on enables spending and borrowing, powering the economy and its growth. It’s an economic circle, stupid! If people hold on to savings to look out for themselves in times of need, growth and hiring will sputter! Own goal?
