Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

@jacindaardern.bsky.social .gives us a righteous #CupOfJoe. "Empathy has never started a war, never sought to take the dignity of others, and empathy teaches you that power is interchangeable with another word: responsibility."

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

So… Tonight Republicans pulled the plug on their own budget and tax package because fiscal conservatives in the House are demanding even deeper cuts to social and other vital programs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Here’s what’s going on. ⬇️

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

A historic graphic of corruption. The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies. (📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)

Sen. Ed Markey: RFK Jr. will be a cover for the raid on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and on clean air and clean water and on the Department of Education funding, and all to ensure that the billionaires get a tax break

This is literally all of Medicaid btw

Walz should get on the news and talk about how weird Musk is more. Some democrat should do it every day. It was the one part of the summer campaign that worked, and as disastrous as things are now, they're also weird disastrous. No one wants to see the government stripped for parts by a dick joke.

This is one of the most openly corrupt writings I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead. It’s comically, transparently a political favor, and the quid pro quo is utterly explicit.

DOGE personnel have completely shut down a congressionally mandated federal agency, they're pilfering through the U.S. Treasury as I type and House Democratic leadership is at an event telling the audience how much they love Israel. These are not our leaders. Look to state and local officials.

Tell me, is this "team" composed of officers of the United States? And, if not, who is their superior, and what kind of authority do they retain to review these actions? I'm having a little trouble tracking the chain of accountability that I'm told is required in the executive branch.

Musk, who is not a government employee, is committing a shitload of crimes. State AGs need to act. He’s not immune.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s *especially* important for Democrats to act.

This is the work, people. Posting and boosting is great for building consensus and community. But social media can make you *feel* like you took action when you all you did was tap a screen. CALL YOUR SENATORS CALL YOUR REP Call anyone and everyone in a position of power and tell them to fight.

Genuinely insane that a major newsroom isn't running a live post today trying to verify what is and what isn't being impacted by the federal funding freeze. Embarrassing how bad the media response is to this.

I'm a former OMB official and this is absolutely true. And let's also not forget that these illegal actions have direct, harmful consequences for actual people. New moms won't get help feeding their infants. Small businesses won't make payroll. People could lose their jobs, their homes.

Call it what it is 👇 #ResistTrump

Connecticut officials confirm: The state's Head Start reimbursement system, which provides low-income families with federal money to support their children's education, is shut down. @MSNBC

Imagine a world where you put questions like “what are you going to do and be specific” to PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER as vociferously as you put them to people On the Internet.

In a functioning democracy, a president who -tries to seize Congress's constitutional spending powers -attempts to rewrite the Constitution unilaterally -pardons violent insurrectionists who attacked the government -fires the Inspectors General and DOJ prosecutors would face immediate impeachment

"Government efficiency" apparently means not knowing if your administration intentionally or unintentionally froze healthcare for 60 million Americans with its unconstitutional order. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/28/t...

is the White House just not posting press briefing transcripts anymore?

Dems can: -oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn -deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings -vote no on all cloture -force quorum calls at every chance It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Fucking. THIS.

— Impoundment and usurping Congressional power — Stripping citizenship by executive order — Segregating the military Are these bad? Seem bad.

"I'm gonna have to check back on whether we shut down 11% of the federal budget and health insurance for poor families" is next level incompetence www.statnews.com/2025/01/28/f...

This thread is absolutely terrifying. Trans people exist. Get fucking over it.

Alright. I’m here. F that other place. I’m done done.
