As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Hey! Have you signed up for PBS Passport yet? $5 per month, you donate to PBS with it, and you get all of their shows. I registered for annual at $60/year.

Cancel Paramount, get PBS passport instead.

Bernie to Dems:

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸

Pass it on!

#GVerse #Attention: LA literally looks like a war zone!

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Manufacturing employs 11m, tourism 12m.

Gotta love Beto! ❤️✨

I don't want Canada or Greenland…

I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

New Mexico, Colorado and Virginia are not red. Arizona is for the person that said it wasn’t.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.

Do more than make a statement! Geezus step the f@*k up!! There is a coup going on and you and the other Democrats are sitting on the sidelines watching it happen. Do something!

My Trumper Dad would go grocery shopping with my Mom. Men aren’t supposed to step into a grocery store? Dumb.

All federal employees received the same email that was sent today at 5:00 pm.

My son is an officer in the national guard and currently deployed to the border. Oh and he’s a POC as he is biracial. Hoping his orders do not change and his unit is not involved in rounding people up, most of them POC. He will have a hard time with that.

Love me some Banksy art! 🤣

Trump seeks to end telework for federal workers President Trump has signed an executive action ordering federal agencies to bring their workers back to the office full time. Roughly 1.1 million federal employees are telework-eligible.

And so it begins, or I should say and so it ends. Public be prepared. Many will quit and with the hiring freeze, not be replaced. This will affect services. Federal employees are not the villians.

As a former librarian, I concur! Libraries are the best!!
