Remember folks, person-first language is important.

That's not an anti-2A Republican, that's a person who is experiencing kirklessness.

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

The Trump regime is rolling back VA coverage for male breast cancer, citing the “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism” order.

💔 Male vets now must prove their cancer came from service instead of receiving automatic care.

Every Senate Democrat who voted "yes" to handing power to our ascendant dictatorship is a collaborator.

This country is a mouldering corpse now. We are just cells that don't know they're dead yet.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.

They know exactly what is going on.

Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.
NO on bill.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Screenshot of an email that says: "HHS Employees - on Saturday, you received an email from OPM entitled, "What did you do last week". The directive stated that employees were to submit five bullets detailing their accomplishments in the past week. In discussions with OPM Officials yesterday and today OPM has no rescinded that mandatory requirement. There is no HHS expectation that HHS employees respond to OPM and there is no impact to your employment with the agency if you choose not to respond. 
That said, if you choose to respond, here are the guidelines you should follow: 
-Respond to the email by the deadline established (today @ 11:59PM)
-Keep your response at a high level of generality and describe your work in a manner to protect sensitive data, personally identifiable information, and applicable privileges to the extent possible. Do not (1) identify, by name or title, any other HHS employees with whom you have been working; (2) identify, by case name or otherwise, matters you are working on, or (3) identify any specific grants or contracts, or any specific grantees or contractors. 
-If you are engaged in scientific research or reviews, do no identify by name any drugs, devices, biologics, therapeutics, or similar items in your response. If you are engaged in any scientific experiments, research, or reviews, do not provide information that could allow anyone to identify the precise nature of your work. 
-Respond by replying to the OPM HR email as instructed, with a cc: to your supervisor. 
-Assume that what you write will be ready by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly."

Guidance from HHS has finally arrived, and we are pleased that someone, somewhere, possessed a spine. TL;DR - HHS employees do not have to respond to the "What did you do last week email", and if they choose to anyways, "assume that what you write will be read by MALIGN FOREIGN ACTORS".

The average federal employee salary is $106,462.

There were approx 1.8M federal employees, but let's say 1.7M due to resignations and illegal firings.

All of them take 5 minutes responding to a micromanaging, intentionally insulting email.

~$7,200,000 in wasted taxpayer money.

"Efficiency".

Is no one else deeply concerned about the Christian nationalist right's faux concern about and (for lack of a better word), weaponization of anti-semitism?

I'm not Jewish nor am I involved in any heavily Jewish communities, but surely people aren't taking this push at face value??

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

Trump's Gaza plan shocks the world but finds support in Israel President Donald Trump’s plan to seek U.S. ownership of the Gaza Strip and move out its population has found a sympathetic ear in Israel.

"Plans for genocide by funder of genocide horrify nations but finds support in nation that's been waging genocidal war" wow who could have imagined such a twist

Trump’s Attacks on DEI Get Approval From Some in the Left Wing Many Democrats and activists are rallying to defend diversity programs, but others say they distract from deeper efforts to address inequality.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

Trump suggests displaced Palestinians in Gaza be 'permanently' resettled outside war-torn territory President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested displaced Palestinians in Gaza be “permanently” resettled outside the war-torn territory.

So forced displacement is genocide. Wish we'd call it that.
