Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

I didn't have time to say hi after your excellent presentation, Jen. We met 3 or 4 Red Pencils ago, when it was at Bastyr. I think we were at the same table at lunch? I remember being so envious of your team at Aspect, way ahead of my own at HDR (which is better now, but love the survey ideas!). Thx

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

Seattle activist is getting in 'good trouble' clashing with Elon Musk A Seattle environmental activist was targeted by Elon Musk for protesting at Tesla showrooms. But it's all "good trouble," she said.

β€œIf we cannot speak out against our government, against corporations, and if we’re criminalized and penalized for speaking out, then we are living in an authoritarian state and regime, and this is not a free country,” Costa said. β€œThis is not a democracy if we can’t do that.”

Click that photo of the capitol building (Denver, CO). A progressive political agenda that centers empathy -- care for people in our community and the planet - is the way to win and fight back against the cruelty of fascism.

IKEA beds? Dressers? Inside the β€˜exceedingly odd’ DOGE office setup Details of the arrangements at GSA offer a window into the lifestyle of DOGE workers.

This is performative nonsense of β€œhardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:

1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror

2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war

We've had a hard week, and while we try to go high, tonight we are looking to vent some petty rage. What's your favorite name for the DOGE cronies? Dogebags? Shitler youth? Traitor tots?

Whatcha got, fam?

If you're on Medicare, probably makes sense to get what procedures you need done now. I know that sounds alarmist. But these are the people who administer Medicare getting the axe.

Urgent CDC Data on Influenza and Bird Flu Go Missing as Outbreaks Escalate In a letter, CDC advisory committee members requested an investigation into missing data and delayed reports.

β€œDelays in data create dangerous situations on the front line,” said an emergency room physician in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

How do we close out a Valentine’s Day such as this. By saying we’re proud. Only 423 of us took the fork offer. And while Trump and Musk slashed 1 in 10 of us this week, others found a way to keep on working. Because unlike them, we take our oaths seriously. Take time to grieve. Don't give up hope. πŸ₯„

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.
