NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant. “This was not a result of vandalism, but your administration’s incompetence." www.huffpost.com/entry/senato...

This bill will automatically become law in ten days (the senate can create a pro forma session by not totally adjourning June 29 when they go on break.) And the bill has a veto-proof majority. Donald is only hurting his own party by skipping the signature photo op.

Bipartisan bill automatically go into effect in 10 days even if rumpT doesn't sign it due to him holding it ransome for SAVE America Act. Call your congressional reps and senate to vote no SAVE act now.

The House gave final approval Tuesday to a broad bipartisan bill aimed at lowering the cost of housing, with lawmakers in both parties eager to show progress on affordability issues ahead of this year's midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/4gBhLn8

Please contact your Congressional reps and senate to vote no on SAVE America act. It is voter suppression and just a way to purge voter rolls from states! www.naacpldf.org/case-issue/s...

Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

What about the US kiling of boats in Caribbean? Where the stopping the murder there?

On this Juneteenth, we hope you will take some time to acknowledge the incredible contributions of Black Americans, all of the progress that we’ve made, and also how far we still have to go to achieve justice in our country.

works now.

www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... works to leave a comment before 6/24 about OPM requiring federal (public workers) employee to sign a NDA which doesn't allow for speaking against discrimination or whistleblowing about corruption or fraud.

Neither www.regulations.gov/document/OPM... or www.federalregister.gov works to leave a comment. Both say error or give no info on OPM-2026-0100-0004 A when searched. Any other ?

Cannot comment on Fed Reg at link - get a something went wrong error message. Other link to comment on Public Service workers possible NDA requirement?

Two important public comment periods listed at the top of this document: tinyurl.com/ResistanceList 1) ends 6/24: requiring all fed employees to sign NDAs 2) ends 7/13 puts political appointees in charge of science grants rather than scientists

Out of state - in person not possibility. Decided to try going straight to registrar in cty which was a much easier path, but still cost 20$ and took 4 to 5 weeks. Though this wasn't the path the state website recommended. It directs one to the VitalChek.com that can't guarantee long form

Because of his former job, Todd Lyons cannot engage with the Department of Homeland Security for a year, per federal law. n.pr/4aOHCUU

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

RESTORE 👏 THE 👏 HEALTH 👏 CARE 👏 TAX 👏 CREDITS. 👏 If Trump & Republicans had worked with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to extend the tax credits before they expired last year, hundreds of thousands of Californians wouldn’t have had to give up their health insurance bc they couldn’t afford it anymore.

The task before us now is first to justify that optimism at the ballot box. The heroes of the civil rights era didn’t bow before men in white robes and none of us are under any obligation to bow to their successors in black ones. AND THEN…

Yes!

Love this! Bringing needed smiles :)

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

"Trump's letter also ignores the fact the US continues to blockade Iranian ports. A blockade is an act of war. It's worth reiterating that Trump's war of aggression violated the Constitution from the start" Will We Choose the Rule of Law? @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." —John Lewis

Fed Chair Jerome Powell, thank you for your service and your courage speaking truth to power!

So sad for the poorest that are already struggling for food and work transportation to and from! Repubs are so blind to real world affects of actions!

Did you know that Earth Day started with a document on environmental rights inspired by the Declaration of Independence, drafted by a college professor on a boat surveying the damage from a catastrophic oil spill? That & much more in today’s post! 🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social

So sorry for you loss. He's beautiful!

This is a direct result of Trump's policies.

Terrible that many are profiting from these. Looks like and sounds like grift to me... The act of obtaining money dishonestly or by fraud; hustling with insider info?
