No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Trump targeting Comey with bogus charges isn’t just about Comey—it's about all of us. Trump's punishing people who've resisted his power in the past to intimidate those who might push back in the future. It’s incumbent upon all of us to keep fighting.

Chemicals found in plastics pose health risks, including in early pregnancy. I'm sounding the alarm for stricter regulations on plastics/microplastics, because Making America Healthy is inconsistent with the GOP turning a blind eye to big polluters. We can't give up on creating a healthier planet.

One of our clients runs a non-profit in Uganda that works with women with HIV who were already getting sick once USAID funds were cut off. This is a death sentence.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Evil MAGA dentist.

The Trump admin, with the imprimatur of SCOTUS, is operating under the principle of “it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission”, and other institutions have adopted the same stance. The only way to push back is for illegal actions to be punished at a level that makes folks take notice.

Trump said he was going to make things cheeper, he did not

Oh yeah, it's never their side that calls for violence.

Sinclair must have gotten an earful! From the public & local advertisers Loss of Revenue when there is high viewership is never a good look 😉

Here's something worth seeing 👀

Endless, unprecedented corruption large and small

What's happening with the government shutdown? Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed. Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that benefits everyone. We're supposed to be a Republic, NOT a monarchy or dictatorship! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

I love Pritzker!

Concerning …

I took my newly 1 year old baby to her check-up this morning & she got her MMR, chicken pox, flu & COVID shots. If she's feeling fussy tonight, I'll alternate Tylenol & Motrin, per my pediatrician's rec. How fun that I get to ignore the president & be a good mom (and good citizen) instead.

Our lead story this morning begins with: "This is an escalation in the President's plan to get retribution against his political opponents" =====>

More tragic accidents in Russia.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

More proof, Trump and Republicans are costing you $$$. Groceries prices are way up!

Yesterday, I was leaning toward the idea that the indictment is about the McCabe stuff. Now I’m leaning more toward it being about the Richman stuff. Sigh. I need a bill of particulars.

🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

I wouldn’t put anything past the Republican Party, including violating their oaths to the Constitution.

More and more international researchers I talk to are choosing not to visit the US in the current political climate. Over time, I think this will complicate information exchange between US and international researchers, slowing the process of scientific discovery.

The protest has moved to the intersection of 25th and Harvard. Join us.

They pepper sprayed us after this. We washed our faces and are back to singing we shall overcome. They’ll never win.

What to know if a recession is coming? @elcush.bsky.social on what to watch (and what to ignore):

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

The 2022 Republican nominee for Illinois attorney general, downstate lawyer Thomas DeVore, will have his law license suspended for 60 days for various infractions, including having a sexual relationship with a client.

4/ Congressman Dan Goldman promised to follow up on the incident, which he called another example of “secret police officers who are attacking our communities with excessive violence…and they just think that they can do it with impunity, because nobody is holding them accountable.”

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.
