Now that the Year of the Snake 🐍 is coming to a close, we can see how utterly faithful it was to the ensuing narrative. What will the Year of the Horse 🐴 bring? Knights in armor? Or riders of the apocalypse? ⚔️ #yearofthehorse

Happy New Year, and may 2026 be the year we turn this ship around. 🙏🏼

We have the votes to extend the ACA subsidies and save healthcare for our constituents TODAY. But Republicans would rather send Congress home, attack abortion care, & let premiums skyrocket. The shame and sham of it all. Speaker Johnson must bring this bill to the floor NOW.

A second levee broke south of Seattle last night as our relentless parade of atmospheric rivers continues. Thinking of the John Holdren quote that we have three options: mitigation, adaptation or suffering. The third is growing ever more apparent as progress lags on one and two.

I called Shomari Figures, my congressman, and asked him to support RFK’s impeachment. As a scientist and a parent and a human in this world, I am horrified by the daily damage this man has done to research and medicine. He should never have gotten the job and it’s time to send him packing.

View this as a gift from prior US government funding. Incredible. Hope they can replicate it in humans. #science #cancerresearch #vaccinessavelives www.umass.edu/news/article...

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

“MAGA man, Florida man, Tesla driver” have become synonymous descriptors.

“On Christmas Day, Dad became convinced — wrongly — that the nephrostomy tube placed to drain his right kidney had malfunctioned. So, like any good ex-engineer, he “fixed” it. That is, he mangled it so that it was in fact not draining properly, then hid his handiwork from the rest of the family…”

i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine "i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

A beautiful missive with an urgent message. 😞 #impeachRFKjr

As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented. That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water. Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

URGENT: Climate change is a maternal health crisis. Research shows extreme heat & air pollution are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, hitting Black moms hardest. blackmaternalhealthcaucus-underwood.house.gov/momnibus-pro...

How unsurprising and heartbreaking. 😞

It’s going to be women who get it done. Watch.

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

May the hostages be swathed in love, care, and compassion for the rest of their days.🙂‍↕️

I’m upside down. What is the real story with the Qataris and the airbase? Is it a training facility, or an outpost? How is Israel reacting to this? Is the new Nobel Laureate a brave defender of Democracy and fighter of authoritarianism, or an agent of the far right? We are in trouble… 1/2

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

If you live in the western United States, the first rain of the season is cause for celebration. #wildfire
