Two things can be true at once: you don’t win basketball games turning the ball over 22 times and I’m so proud of my Pacers. This group is special and this team has been built piece by piece. Uptempo team ball still works.

Dismissed by DEI: Trump’s Purge Made Black Women With Stable Federal Jobs an “Easy Target” The president’s attack on diversity efforts has derailed the government careers of highly educated civil servants — even though the jobs some lost were not directly involved with any DEI programs.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

A rec league staple 😂

We need to remember to rebound the ball @Pacers

Emergency Dept. Nurse & UNAC/UHCP member Zachary Pritchett sprang into action when a man collapsed on Capitol Hill, providing care until EMS arrived.

Moments later, he was urging lawmakers to #ProtectMedicaid. Public service workers like Zachary deliver critical care AND fight for our communities.

Data visualization titled "Complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Come From Across the Country." Below, a representation of a U.S. map, but each of the 50 states is represented as a single green square labeled with the state's abbreviation. A key to the top left shows a gradient that goes from white to light green to dark green, with white representing 5 complaints per 1,000 residents and dark green representing >50 complaints per 1,000 residents.

No matter which state you live in, Trump’s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau affects your ability to be protected from scams.

We want to understand the fallout that comes with gutting the government’s consumer watchdog. Here’s how you can help us report: propub.li/43EycsC

What an incredible legacy

A teacher in Warrick County is speaking out after Indiana Governor Mike Braun removed Dolly Parton’s “Imagination Library” from the state’s budget. Imagination Library is a book-gifting program for children under 5 in hopes of fostering early literacy. With the pending removal from the state’s budget, the program will have no funding to get books into the hands of families.

Cutting Dolly Parton’s program that helps kids learn how to read <<<<<<<

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

Just said to someone “That was back when AirTran U was still a thing” and proceeded to explain to them how college students used to be able to fly standby one-way for $30. I have never felt more Auntie than I do now.
