“The best thing about heroes is that they always win at the end. And if they aren’t winning, then it’s not the end.” —Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Kyiv

Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security. Elon Musk is lying to you.

Macron corrects Trump after he claims "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Crockett: "This is nothing more than another payday for Elon Musk bc we know that if there is any govt welfare to be handed out, it is consistently being handed out to Elon Musk, who stopped all the money to USAID while at the same time deciding that he would get another contract for over $300m."

I’ve seen this tactic before. Cutting funds w/out any understanding of how it hurts families and kids. I’m reminded, these are our tax dollars. These are funds that were allocated legally, requiring a ton of work by those who applied for the funds & now 1,000s of hardworking people are w/out jobs.

This thread should motivate all of us, no matter who we voted for, to mobilize and hold Congress accountable to uphold the rule of law and the constitution. Let’s not use fancy words to explain what’s happening here. Illegal. Unconstitutional.

These kids and Muskolini didn't "shut down" USAID and they didn't "take care of" OPM/Treasury Dept, they illegally broke into a secure facility on a weekend when hardly anyone was there, hijacked sensitive data on US citizens/businesses, destroyed govt property, and unlawfully fired Americans. (1/6)

Yes, the tariffs are bad. But, I'm disgusted that I'm not seeing more coverage of the coup Musk and his band of baby engineers is currently staging. DOGE is not a real thing. Musk is a private citizen. It's all illegal as it sidesteps congress. How is this not being screamed from the roof tops?

To console myself as I wait for the EO that will cancel the Dept of Ed, I'm going to post quotes pointing out the value of education, especially for democracy. I think this is a good one to lead with: Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use the change the world. Nelson Mandela

The White House announcement of the 2021-23 #PAEMST winners got lost amidst the transition. Can we re-elevate & celebrate these amazing educators? paemst.nsf.gov/recognition I have had the privilege of working with several on this list. Congratulations! #EduSky #NGSS

"I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long...The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice."

Looking forward to digging into this list of writings tomorrow to celebrate the life and love of #MLK.

Best thing I heard today. You can censor words, but you can’t kill an idea.

It’s a West Wing 25th anniversary kind of morning. Thank you for bringing it back #HBOMax!
