And yet, check his voting record on nominees. Yesterday he was on the fence about the CR. What line do Senate Dems think they’re supposed to be holding? This vote is a no-brainer, shouldn’t take a public outcry for Dems to vote No. Sand in the gears. 7 weeks late…

Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy, in words and deeds, to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. And the moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow. Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

Thank you, Rep. Al Green!

Facts.

Two peers have lost relatives, friends, co-workers & community members to the brutal violence being carried out against civilians in the DRC. Please, if you can, contribute to help evacuate people to safety in Uganda. It’s $100 to get each person out. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Bullies on film. Trump and Vance are undeserving of their titles. These are Russian agents. They have ceded the country’s claim to the title Leader of the Free World. There was one leader in the room: Zelenskyy. youtu.be/ZThLlfMvMRY?...

The disconnect. Just wow. While women scientists are fired from NASA and other federal agencies…The discrediting of expert knowledge…It’s possible to pursue innovation and use your billions now here on earth to help feed the poor and value workers.

Please support this evacuation effort to help people from the DR Congo get to safety in Uganda. The assault on human life right now is truly devastating.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 how it’s done

Stand up to bullies. Stand on business. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Didn’t have NYP on my list of truth-tellers

When the story of these astronauts being stranded first broke we were in the midst of the general election campaign. Musk breaking everything wasn’t yet figuring in the American imagination. I thought this is going to get politicized if they don’t get them back here soon. Here we are.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Trump regime is removing the bios and profiles of women scientists from US government websites. But the women said Nope and wasted no time in buying the domain womeninstem.us to crowdsource the stories of women scientists that are being censored. womeninstemus.blogspot.com/2025/02/us-w...

Action over inaction. @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov we should not be here in the first place. Congress must act!

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social put an end to this now! Congress needs to act!

When I worked at the White House as mom of an infant I had to pass security w/my breast pump. At my Oval photo, my kid brought a drawing for the president. We got held at the gate so the drawing could be scanned. But Elon Musk can waltz right in w/external servers & private employees like no prob?

If only we had Congressional leadership to take action on this @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social 🤷🏻‍♀️

There’s a reason you don’t bring your own server off the street into the White House. As if federal workers aren’t already dealing with enough.

20-some years ago, many Americans turned to The West Wing’s Jed Bartlett for the presidential leadership & compassion our country was in such desperate want of. This time, I’m not looking for another Jed. I’m looking for us: We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
