Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.

That's not what the American people want.

AI is going to cause unemployment to skyrocket, we need to have a serious look at UBI.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always οΏΌ

We need β€œa mandate to action” legislation. If there’s an immediate issue or credible reports of an issue and politicians fail to act, they’re charged as conspirators. As a teacher, I’m a mandated reporter. Politicians need equal standards.

I agree with you, what policy could stop this? Failure of your job to uphold the constitution and law makes you complacent and guilty? As a teacher I’m a mandated reporter, I am forced to act, Congress needs the same requirements. We need to make β€œfailure to act” in public office a crime.

I keep reading doctors, teachers, software engineers and others will be replaced by AI… honestly CEO seems like the best place start replacing jobs with AI. Isn’t even against the best interest of shareholders to pay millions to a CEO when AI can do the job for basically free?

Would a ruling in the parent’s favor mean children from families who believe in equality can opt out of an β€œAmerica first” patriotic curriculum?

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

β€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
β€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
β€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Our Social Security system is built BY US and FOR US with every paycheck.

We EARN our benefits!

Do you know why Americans are angry?

Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.Β 

At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%.

We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

It’s under attack… and you voted to help kill it. You sealed this with your approval. Your name is on this agreeing with it. You had a great chance to prevent this and you didn’t, this is false theater at this point.

Damn, wonder who broke it? Oh yes the unelected South African who wants to raid your social security fund, defund veteran services, and go after your children’s public schools.

'Highly unusual': White House halts FBI background checks for senior staff, shifts them to Pentagon: Sources The White House has quietly told the FBI to halt background checks on dozens of the president's top staffers and has transferred the process to the Pentagon, sources say.

The White House has quietly directed the FBI to halt the background check process for dozens of Trump's top staffers, and transferred the process to the Pentagon. Officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too β€œintrusive.”

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

DOGE wrecking ball could threaten Social Security for seniors Nearly 90% of Americans older than 65 rely on Social Security.

The cuts underway at the Social Security Administration could wind up breaking critical parts of a system that millions of the nation's most vulnerable citizens rely on β€” including nearly 90% of Americans over age 65.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Vote no until it’s fixed! Stand up for your people or step aside this is the wrong stance. There’s no justification for cutting food and healthcare to Americans to fund billionaires tax cuts.

VOTE NO

You represent NY! NY doesn’t want this, don’t betray your constituents. Don’t support this, the right thing to do is voting no.

Cuts in the CR will take healthcare and food from my students. You’re voting yes to hurt people. FIGHT FOR US!!
