💡Antideficiency Act (ADA, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341–1351) illegal for private citizens or organizations to fund or pay federal employees, including military personnel, during a gov shutdown🇺🇸

I’m sorry, but this just shouldn’t be allowed. Do you know how many people can’t renovate their homes because they are in a historical area? What possibly could be more historic than the White House? Where’s the historic preservation commission on this project? 🔄

One sleeve down, one to go. This is the #ScornedSweater currently in testing for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social Feeling the fall vibes with my @sewhappyjane.bsky.social Delightful DK yarn 🧶 #knitsky #testknit #handmadesweater #memadewardrobe #isitfallyet

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... A 2024 study published in JAMA involving 2.4 million children in Sweden, used sibling-control analysis. When comparing siblings—one exposed to #acetaminophen in utero & one not—the researchers found NO increased risk of #autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon. Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.

Why fall knitting is my favorite: I can knit in front of the fire in the morning & then outdoor in the sunshine during the afternoon 🍁 🔥 🧶 Working on a test for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social What can I say - her patterns are too good to pass up! #ScornedSweater #knitsky @sewhappyjane.bsky.social

. THE CORROSIVE POWER OF PROJECTION... TELL THE ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE OF THE TRUTH... ... REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT... UNTIL SWALLOWED BY MANY AS FACT. TRUMPISM 101. .

Finished my #testknit for @samanthaguerin.bsky.social of the #NightlinesSweater and I’m in love. This one should be released soon so keep an eye out! #knitsky #comingsoon #fingeringweightsweater

See what a "soft war" of tariffs does to our global partners? It unites them against us and portrays the US as an enemy that must be defended against in the world order. Xi, Putin, Modi signal unity against U.S.-led dominance. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

It is one thing, as a blue state voter, to know that your taxes are being spent elsewhere in the country. But it is quite another to worry that they will simply disappear into a sinkhole of corruption, such as that which is now being created in the WH. snyder.substack.com/p/look-on-my...

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners

"Every dollar spent relitigating the disproven vaccine-autism link is a dollar stolen from research that could actually help people with autism — studies on support services, educational interventions, employment programs and other factors behind autism" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

You can also use their platform without giving them a single cent, as far as payment processors go that’s pretty incredible

Working on my latest test knit (yes, I’m addicted to testing 🤣), this one for @samanthaguerin.bsky.social This is the #NightlinesSweater and it’s shaping up to be gorgeous! Paused the body to do the neckline before deciding on hem length next! #knitsky #shareyourknits #alwaysknitting #testknit

They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.

Finished another fabulous test knit for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social This is the #MoriaSweater, coming this fall. It’s a fabulous bulky sweater with lots of yummy texture and it absolutely flies off the needles. I’d consider myself an average speed knitter and I made this in one week 🥳 #knitsky

Some dudes would rather start a nuclear war than release the Epstein files or talk about their jobs report

Feel like we moved on too quickly from the fact that the Trump administration openly announce it's trying to privatize Social Security

It may be 90 degrees out but I’m dreaming of sweater weather 🤣 Finishing a fabulous test knit for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social in @lavenderluneyarn.bsky.social #moriasweater #knitsky #testknit #bulkyweightsweater

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

Wolff: I was talking to Epstein and he went into his safe and came out with photographs... And it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age in Epstein's house...There are two in which topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap—and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants.

#knitsky #showmeyourknits I had a productive weekend and finished THREE projects 🥳 one from February, one from April, and one recently started. Yay for freeing up needles for more cast ons 1. #Musselburghhat 2. #SaltyAirtee 3. #Interplaycowl #nevertoomanywips #nonmonogamousknitter

Let's call this what it is: human trafficking. Trump wants to kidnap families off our streets, strip them of due process, and ship them to countries they have no correlation to. This is dangerous, cruel, and will shamefully put vulnerable people in harm's way.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

You need to know what's going on at "Alligator Alcatraz." It's grossly immoral - no human being should be treated like that. It's political theater - many of the detainees have no criminal record. It's a taxpayer funded boondoggle - enriching DeSantis's political cronies.

I died 🤣🤣🤣

Watch this space.

#knitsky #showmeyourknits prompt is blue and even though blue is my favorite color I apparently don’t knit with it that often! Here are 4 accessory projects I’ve made over the years - the first 3 are all @kaceyknits.bsky.social and the multicolored shawl is by Tammy Gore #memadewardrobe

Enjoying working on my test knit for @juliannamknits.bsky.social on her new cowl #InterplayCowl And got some quality knitting in during a great DnD session as well :) #knitsky #dungeonsanddragons #friendswhogame #testknit

Happy 4th of July. Here’s hoping we’re still celebrating being an independent country next year and that we’ve course corrected back towards liberty and justice for ALL And happy birthday to my grandpa, who would’ve been 99 today 💕 #knitsky #wearyourknits #pillarstank #fourthofjuly

Allred: When I hear someone say, “This year you only get one doll instead of five or six for Christmas,” they just have no idea what working families are actually dealing with. The question isn’t whether you’re getting five or six dolls. The question is whether you’re going to have any at all.

1.1 million South Carolinians rely on Medicaid. Lindsey Graham feels great about ripping their health insurance away.

“The minutiae of Medicaid policy” is a wild euphemism for “16M+ Americans will lose their healthcare”

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.
