Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional
ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

A lot of folks wonder why Josh Hawley is fighting for Medicaid. Here’s why: Missouri Republicans would not pass Medicaid expansion so we put it in the ballot. It won.
Now, Missouri has a constitutional mandate to fund Medicaid. The federal cuts will likely cause the MO GOP to raise MO taxes.
All you need to know about the Republican tax plan:
The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks.
Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed.
Call your reps.
So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
…
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
You know a powerful movement is rising when Nana asks you to make her a #HandsOff sign!! Here’s to all the nanas, papas, aunts, uncles, children, parents & people rising today & everyday! @momsrising.org is proud to be a partner of rallies on 4/5. *Find a near rally MomsRising.org/HandsOff #MomsSky
Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
The latest House Republican budget proposal is atrocious: $880 BILLION slashed from Medicaid. Seniors, low-income families and children would lose their healthcare. Why? So billionaires like Musk can get another tax break.
Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. Gift link here: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...
Cruelty is the agenda.
The DOJ forced the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to remove all LGBTQ language & transgender kids from its site & documents.
Notice the lack of reporting by MSM yet again.
Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.
-The Question: How the hell did we get here?
-The Answer: Citizens United.
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
There are people who assume those with disabilities are faking. That we’re scamming the system somehow. That it’s “fun” to be disabled.
They never seem to consider that most of us are faking being well.
We put on a smile and a brave face & push through suffering that most could never comprehend.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive.
📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House.
I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.
THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires.
Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine.
Hands Off My Medicaid
It is important for all of us to understand how the U.S. Department of Education is vital to helping vulnerable children in America learn and thrive.
