SHUTTING DOWN RURAL HOSPITALSโ€”that's the Republican agenda.

If their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill passes, rural hospitals across America will be forced to shutter. This will hit Central & Eastern Washington the hardest.

We can kill this bill, but NOW is the time to speak up.

The Republican tax bill wonโ€™t just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE.

The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA,ย and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors.

Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.

This is how the Republicans slash Medicare without telling us theyโ€™re slashing Medicare.

You mean to say, why do I live in a purple state where the right wing has methodically over decades leveraged systemic inequality into power? I suppose for the same reason I live in a purple country where the right wing has methodically over decades leveraged systemic inequality into power.

Elon Musk doesn't care about efficiency, and here's the proof:

I called for an investigation into Musk's cuts at the IRS. Because he fired so many staff that audit wealthy tax cheats, we could lose $323 BILLION in tax revenue over the next decade.

Nothing efficient about that.

Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today:

What he's done is outright illegal.

His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker.

We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.

Call on Congress to Protect Federal Library Funding Call on Congress to Protect Federal Library Funding

Hi, #bluesky:

As you know, nearly all staff at the (IMLS) was placed on administrative leave and, as a result, all processing of grants has been suspended. W/in weeks libraries will feel the loss of these funds.

PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS. #booksky #skybrarians

How DOGEโ€™s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. โ€œIf youโ€™re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why wouldโ€ฆ

โ€œBy firing us, youโ€™re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,โ€ said an axed IRS specialist whoโ€™d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. โ€œThis was not about saving money.โ€

Despite what Elon Musk saysโ€”Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.

Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people โ€” large or small โ€” where you could, and you need to hear it, Iโ€™m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A good government agency is nearly invisible. You have safe food, clean water, stable power etc and you never have to think about it. The best societies have boring bureaucracy notices in the paper and not much else.

Trump is laying off hundreds @bonnevillepower.bsky.social who literally keep the lights on. We're talking about electricians & engineers, to dispatchers, to lineworkers, to cybersecurity experts.

Ratepayers support BPAโ€”NOT federal funding. This is putting our energy grid at serious risk!

We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Still canโ€™t stop thinking about the binary nature of American elections, a few hundred thousand votes in three states all the distance between just normal stuff and armed officers keeping House reps out of the department of education and a guy named Big Balls canceling everyoneโ€™s Medicare

Friends in Congressman Newhouse's district: his staff is taking phone calls and needs to hear if you have been affected by the federal funding freeze. I've had the most luck with the DC office. Giving them a specific problem to solve will be most motivating.

Make no mistake: Trump's illegal destruction of USAID will cost lives. All my colleagues should understand these actions empower Russia & the Chinese Communist Party at the cost of America because one billionaire with deep ties to U.S. adversaries decided to do so on a whim.

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and Iโ€™ve shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
Iโ€™ll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and thatโ€™s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.
