Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts, critics say

"Cruz inserted language into the reconciliation bill that eliminates a $150m fund to 'accelerate advances & improvements in research, observation systems, modeling, forecasting, and dissemination of info to the public' around weather forecasting."

"'We are the federal government, and if we choose to take power away from a governor or away from a mayor, this is the new normal.' And my response is, I've seen this movie before. It used to be called a coup, and it happens in other countries."

@mayor.lacity.gov‬ on the feds in LA:

I recently gave my first major political speech of this campaign season to retire Lauren Boebert. Like, share, follow, pitch in if you can. LET'S GO!!

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Useless Democrats: Schumer, Newsom, Emanuel You’re not defending democracy if you’re catering to the right.

"Republicans fight dirty – such as packing the Supreme Court – yet Schumer & Co. won’t take off their velvet gloves. To MAGA, they’re useful idiots. To democracy defenders, they’re useless or worse," writes @markjacob.bsky.social.

Though the loss of the ReidOut is a disturbing tragedy, I know that Ms. Joy is going to continue to bring truth to the fight and I look forward to being with her in the battles to come.

Love you my sister.

Mike Brock on Substack I'm being very fucking serious right now: the marriage of autocracy and artificial intelligence is the final despotism—an unblinking, tireless tyranny. Lose democracy now, and we may never win it back...

I cannot get over the arrogance of a country not directly involved in the conflict holding peace talks with only one side of the conflict while ignoring the other.

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Time’s new cover is pushing big on the whole “Elon Musk is the real President, not Trump” messaging

New cover of Time magazine. Trump must hate this so much.
