DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

While Republicans are working to give tax breaks to billionaires, Democrats are working FOR the people!

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

NEW: Chief Justice Roberts has temporarily halted Judge Ali’s order forcing the Trump administration to resume the foreign aid funding that it illegally halted. This means the aid money will NOT resume tonight, as Ali had directed, and the unlawful freeze can continue.

Photo of text from a newspaper article that says “Kennedy advances the lies that vaccines cause autism, increase cancer risk, and result in higher death rates. None of this is true, but Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence showing the safety of vaccines. His goal is to cause fear over vaccines and public health ini-tiatives, which he does for profit Kennedy will promote decreased vaccine uptake, as he did when he influenced government officials in Samoa to stop measles vaccinations; in the resulting measles epidemic, 83 people died from measles, mostly chil-dren. The same will happen here.”

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening.

An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply:

“The same will happen here”.

Oh come on….

Army Choir surrounded the MAGA hierarchy dining in White House East Room to sing "Do You Hear The People Sing"

It was lost on Trump but Vance was super fidgety

Altman later testified that his diagnosis was driven in part by Petitt's accomplishments. The books, the degrees, the piloting job, all while raising kids, it was "well beyond what any woman I've ever met could do" - and therefore suggestive that she was manic.

The brilliance and competence of the women was used as proof of her psychological sickness

I needed a good laugh, thanks for that 🤣

When she interrupts me, she says (paraphrased, since I'm translating from Ukrainian):

"I know what's happening. I think everyone knows what's happening. But I don't think it's safe to be talking about this over the phone."

Last night, I was on the phone with my 95-year-old grandma, whose early life was marred by both Stalinism and the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. As I'm talking to her about how the current U.S. administration has abandoned Ukraine and is dismantling the U.S. government, she interrupts me.
