No more federal $ for local public broadcasting starting today. “For the first time in over 50 years, local public broadcasting stations will not receive federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting," says Kate Riley, president and CEO of America’s Public Television Stations.

Hope this visit results in kidnapped Ukrainian children being returned and war veterans being rehabilitated.

Republicans have shut down the government. Why? They’re hell-bent on taking health care away from millions of people. Democrats are here and ready to find solutions. We just need the GOP to join us.

Daniel Dale is a fact checker who works for CNN. He had his work cut out for him today when DT took the podium at the big meeting of Generals today.

Why can’t we have nice things, too, instead of more spread of preventable diseases?

Interesting things happening all the time…

The government will shut down in less than 12 hours if Congress doesn't act. Republicans control the whole government, and they're nowhere to be found.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social went to the House floor ready to help 22 million Americans, including 40,000 Rhode Islanders, afford their health insurance. Republicans were nowhere to be found. Republicans must show up to work & stop their shutdown.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The Republican Shutdown When You Control Everything, You Own Everything Every obstacle Republicans face, they have created themselves.

Ukraine . . . They keep fighting for their sovereignty!

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

I appreciate @repsuhas.bsky.social fighting to save OUR healthcare. Democrats need to protect healthcare, without it we suffer. 🏥 or 🪦 We don't want to live a disease, injury or accident away from bankruptcy. With the cuts to Medicaid, premiums for private insurance will go sky high.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. It is on them to govern and negotiate with Democrats if they need our votes. But instead of trying to fund the government in a bipartisan manner, they are intent on stripping health care away from even more Americans.

While House Republicans are away on vacation, @housedemshq.bsky.social are here and ready to find a solution that keeps the government OPEN and health care FUNDED.

Listen to Senator Warner…

I just came out of the House Chamber to demand a vote on @housedemocrats.bsky.social's proposal to fund the government and protect Americans' healthcare. With hours left until a shutdown, Republicans decided to not show up for work and close the chamber down.

Leader of House Republicans has dismissed the Republicans for the rest of the day…

A pastel Mark Rothko. Most interesting.

Four years ago today since Douglas died. We miss him every moment of every day. Loved so much by his family and many friends; a respected scientist and moth-er; a wearer of great shirts; and a Bellowhead superfan.

Delightful!!

How could they be this “mixed up”??🔝
