Spent 3 hours tonight in Senate chamber being inspired, uplifted, and wowed by Sen.Corey Booker
Record breaking 25 hour lesson in the corruption and illegal conduct of the Trump/ Musk regime.
And it was bookended and spirited with John Lewis and Good Trouble.
Thank you John and Corey!

The Trump administration has quietly proposed a rule that would remove requirements that insurance providers must cover gender-affirming care as essential care on health insurance plans created by the Affordable Care Act.
The rule change, posted on March 10, is up for public comment until April 11.

The US agency that monitors weather will cut another 1,000 jobs, AP sources say Multiple sources tell The Associated Press that the Trump Administration is starting another round of job cuts β€” this one more than 1,000 β€” at the nation’s weather, ocean and fisheries agency.

Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.Β 

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

The other day an Elton John song came to mind. I'm no Bernie Taupin, but "Levon" could be parodied for our current regime:

Donald wears his ear wound like a crown
E calls his child β€œXavier”
`Cause he likes the name
Horrifyingly he deadnames this daughter.

Ms. Mace actual quote β€œI have friends and family that identify as LGBTQ. Understanding how they feel and how they’ve been treated is important. Having been around gay, lesbian, and transgender people has informed my opinion over my lifetime."
