This. This. This.👇

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

McConnell’s Two Big Legacies: The End of Roe and the Forever Grip of Trump The Senate Republican’s power plays haven’t turned out as planned.

McConnell has wielded power ruthlessly to advance conservative goals. Yet it is increasingly clear that his legacy, so tightly intertwined with Donald Trump’s, has been built on a foundation of political miscalculations.

@jilldlawrence.bsky.social from the archives:

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Folks, the soldiers of our Military are heckling Pete Hegseth right to his face. No respect there, and if they don’t respect him, they’re not going to fight for him. He’s a woman abusing drunk. What’s there to respect? 👠

Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status.

BREAKING: The Associated Press reveals that Donald Trump barred their reporter from an Oval Office executive order signing event today because the AP style guide directs writers to use "Gulf of Mexico" instead of "Gulf of America."

This is what MAGA is focused on instead of grocery prices.

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.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

US SCIENTISTS: Let me know if you would be willing to talk to my friend and colleague, Anette Breindl, about the new administration's effects on research. Anette is the managing editor of BioWorld Science, a publication for the Biopharma industry focused on preclinical research. www.bioworld.com

The goal of our nation-leading Child Tax Credit is simple: lift kids out of poverty and get money back to working families.

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.

Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms. "It’s an attempt to tie water supply to a natural disaster, but those connections don’t exist in reality.”

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.

From @gristnews.bsky.social via @climatedesk.org:

If we had a healthy legislative branch right now, @elonmusk would be hauled in front of Congress today & asked questions under oath. There’d be immediate hearings/congressional oversight. But that’s if we currently had the legislative branch our Founders envisioned. And we don’t.
