I’ve documented 130 examples of Elon Musk benefiting from the Trump administration—often while hurting the American public. I’ll keep fighting to hold Musk & Trump accountable.

As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary argued that insulin should be withheld from people with diabetes and replaced with "cooking classes." www.newsbreak.com/raw-story-20... As a 30+ year type 1 diabetic I’m gonna go ahead and disagree. Anti-intellectualism is gonna kill me

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption” What are we even doing?

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

This is the exact reason why I stopped my @nytimes.com subscription many years ago. Either hyperbolic headlines or they don’t call a spade a spade. 🥸

Happy Monday! I rediscovered this song (from Pat Metheny’s second album, in 1977) last Friday, shopping in my local vinyl store. It’s a gorgeous theme to play any moment to crave for peace… or simply a delightful musical background. Hope you enjoy it too: open.spotify.com/intl-es/trac...

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Have you donated in support of @pbs.org, @pbsnews.org, or @npr.org lately? How about we all do it? It’s been solid journalism for years, and now it is threatened!

A global race to recruit US researchers and doctors is heating up as President Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts to science funding and federal agencies disrupt the country’s research landscape. @bloombergbusiness.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Overflowing The sea warmed by us the river rising in the storm the glass we fill without noticing the pain without measure the first time the absence the darkness the tears the fear of not knowing what will come the crowd weary of lies

Desbordados El mar calentado por nosotros El río en la tormenta El vaso que llenamos distraídos El dolor sin medida la primera vez La ausencia La oscuridad El llanto El miedo no saber qué vendrá La multitud harta de mentiras

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!
