😸 Sir Edgar Allan Purr, my very first vinyl figure, is officially out — and you can get your own little purry reader now (link in comments)🐾 Please have in mind that this is a limited edition, only available for 4 weeks — after that, he disappears into the mist like a true literary floof. 😽🤍

It was never about trade deficits, it was all cash grab for stocks. Every single one of them needs to be put in jail.

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled the Trump regime must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

How lawless do your actions have to be for even Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to rule against them?

concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial. Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of war.

Amidst all of the horrors of the Trump administration, one stands above the rest: the trafficking of 270 men to El Salvador's CECOT prison.

Here is the definition of concentration camp from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions.

Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars.

It's crony capitalism at its worst.

Tweet by user '@Jesse_altman' that reads, "It takes a very special idiot to drive the world's largest economy off a cliff in 4 weeks."

And yet here we are, plunging cartoonishly downward already.

Is this how Trump is fighting human trafficking?

@fpwellman.bsky.social getting the word out.

Karen is a K-3 teacher for deaf & hard of hearing children & a long-time member of the AFT + Ed Austin. The uncertain future of DACA leaves the fate of hundreds of thousands of teachers, nurses & first responders in jeopardy. DACA recipients like Karen need Congress to pass the Dream and Promise Act

I joined my Democratic colleagues today to defend the 86,000 people in our community who rely on MediCal and the 16,900 who rely on CalFresh. House Republicans want to gut these programs to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. I won’t stand for it.

This Marine wanted to help fellow vets. DOGE fired him instead. Andrew Lennox was one of roughly 1,000 VA workers fired earlier this month. He is fighting to get his job back.

"I would like some accountability for those that are denigrating the people that keep the lights on in this country. People that make sure our water is not poisoned. The people that make sure our veterans get their medications."

photo of a cow getting booped on the nose by the hand of a woman. you are seeing the cow from the woman's perspective. there's text that says "She's never had to get a code from her Authenticator app"

One of the remarkable things about #NIH is how rigorously its grants, research, and employees are reviewed. NIH science and scientists are held to a high standard by external reviewers — via study sections and councils, or BSC/site visit reviewers. And the reviews have teeth. 🧪

5 signs that a U.S.-Europe split is widening As the Trump administration ramps up its rhetoric against Ukraine and NATO, European countries are taking note — with increasing alarm.

Our members go to work every day to make life better for millions of Americans with cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and more.

Today, they’re in DC to fight for the funding to keep up that work.

Thanks for all that you do. ✊🔬

Chump really is getting the hang of that ‘Ive just been humiliated in front of a worldwide audience again’ look, dont you think?

White House says it will determine which reporters have access to the president “All journalists, outlets and voices deserve a seat at this highly coveted table,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

The White House seized control of the press pool today, announcing that the administration — not an independent group of journalists — will decide which reporters cover events with the president.

Happy Monday – This week, expect lots of Republican lies about their budget.

3 things to remember:
1) BILLIONS in cuts means cuts to health care and food assistance
2) This is all to give more $$ to BILLIONAIRES
3) GOP doing NOTHING to address high cost of living

Nope, he gets paid millions of dollars to say whatever Putin wants him to.

I am proud to co-lead this legislation because access to comprehensive health coverage through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid is essential for keeping our kids healthy.

Florida families deserve to receive the high-quality health care they need so our kids can live a happy, full life.

Yup. I don't think many people realize that USPS provides service to addresses that every single private carrier in the country will refuse to deliver to. They even service addresses that are only accessible by boat! There's still a mule route!

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
