ME/CFS affects ~9 million Americans. There are no FDA-approved treatments. We need medical research funding to change that. Today advocates are asking Congress to change that - join us! It takes 5 minutes: solvecfs.quorum.us/campaign/157943/ #MECFS #MEAwarenessHour

I will never be able to tell Hopkins, Sharples, and Bravo-Young apart. My own convenience aside, Admin, you know better than to put three blonde players on the matchday graphic @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social

Fantastic news! This will block current work on the ICE detention center DHS wants to build in Hagerstown, MD. One thing I’ve learned from the CFPB fight: even if we win in court, we have to keep fighting on the Hill & in the streets! @nteu335.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“I don’t see why we should be spending all of this money paying some AI vendor to target the wrong people to murder a bunch of kids” @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social (candidate for MD-06!) nails it. Interview starts at 26:00 www.youtube.com/live/t5mQq9I...

This week in navigating the U.S. health care system: getting a blank form from my insurance company to my doctor’s office required me to make 8 phone calls

This has been my go-to Olympics coverage everyday of the games!

Scoop–CFPB just fired employee alexisgoldstein.bsky.social for allegedly disrupting &documenting a meeting a year ago between CFPB & DOGE www.bloomberg.com/news/article... She says she's being retaliated against after asking DOGE visitors who they were & if they'd completed training on handling info

Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.

This #BHM, we’re honoring pioneers who opened doors - and those who keep them open. From Dr. Gladys West and Jo Ann Allen Boyce to Crystal Dunn and Christen Press, their excellence and advocacy remind us that progress is built by those who demand more and make space for the next generation.

sorry to whichever one isn't the bad one, but I'm always confusing Lexi Hull and Sophie Cunningham

The CFPB cut sections on rising defaults, debt cancellation, and college pricing from its annual report on student loans. Emma Janssen looks into what the Trump administration didn’t want to publish: trib.al/ci5GsRM

DHS wants to learn from the best on how to use large datasets to target people. (The best is Ad Tech). sam.gov/workspace/co...

Another day in the life of the U.S health insurance system: Me: "My dr. referred me to a specialist out of network. The plan says I'll owe 35% of the allowable amount if I see them. What's the allowable amount?" Insurance: "We can't tell you that until after you've seen the doctor" Me: "Why not?"

Make sense of this for us: Trump and Vought have spent a year trying to destroy the CFPB even though "we're THE agency to help consumers with the affordability crisis."

So proud of Becky, Imani Dorsey, Gabby Vincent, and others for speaking out. Three absolute leaders. #TransPeopleBelong #TransPeopleBelongInSports

Robbing from consumers to reward disgraced predatory lenders? You’re a real creep, Mr. Grinch-Vought! change.org/StopVought

NEW LAWSUIT: Trump’s budget chief & acting head of CFPB has manufactured a funding crisis to completely defund the agency. We're challenging the Trump admin's unlawful attempt to stop the CFPB from doing its Congressionally mandated job by starving it of funding.

They really put the mics on for the Italian players

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.

But whether it was the NWSL or the club itself that hired this plane, they should know that they can stipulate in the contract that they will not accept flights with these specific carriers that are involved in daily transport of chained humans.

Who’s gonna tell Jessica Berman we need 1000% more studbudz and 1000% less Alex Cooper in the NWSL?

The the thing about the “Gotham finished 8th“ narrative is that if they’d scored one more goal (or stopped one) against NC in the last regular season game of the year, they’d had finished 6th. If they’d scored two more goals, they’d have finished 5th

Russ Vought has once again escalated his illegal CFPB shutdown by ordering CFPB cases to be transferred to the DOJ. It’s time for Congress to impeach and remove Russell Vought from power. nteu335.org/2025/11/20/c...

Don’t play out the back y’all

Does it count as a sellout crowd if there are empty suites? 🧐

Big week for Lusophone women’s national teams vs Anglophone women’s national teams

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought. "By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

📣: Today the government committed to prioritizing #LongCOVID, but didn't announce any new funding - a major ask of advocates and researchers. @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social & I reported on today's Long COVID roundtable for @thesicktimes.org ⬇️ thesicktimes.org/2025/09/18/k...

NEW: Federal funding for organizations that help students with hearing and vision loss across eight states will stop at the end of the month, according to letters sent by a top Education Dept. official and obtained by ProPublica. By @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump’s Education Dept. cancels grants that help students who are both deaf and blind. “How low can you go?” said one person who works with DeafBlind students and their families. W/ @jsmithrichards.bsky.social for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Trump admin is ending funding for education to deafblind kids in eight states. Because “DEI”. “How low can you go?” asked Maurice Belote, co-chair of the National DeafBlind Coalition. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I appreciate @erikloomis.bsky.social’s point that big private unions can do more! But many wins by the small & mighty federal worker unions are worth celebrating! An non-exhaustive list: 1) RIFs cancelled at the VA 2) RIFs scaled back by the thousands at HHS & FDA www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

In coordination with @freedcproject.bsky.social, the supporters section will chant “Free DC” when the clock strikes 51:00 at tomorrow’s Washington Spirit game. We hope you join in wherever you are in the stadium!

“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this!!” —Russell Vought nteu335.org/2025/08/25/v...

Not a great look for the league when a player gets injured colliding with the advertising display during the normal run of play

It’s my fault. I almost wore my Don’t Play Out the Back T-shirt today but then I didn’t.

If I never hear the word “rivalry” again it will be too soon #NWSL #stoptryingtomakerivalryweekhappen

So if the KC-Orlando game is on CBS Sports dot come does that mean I can watch it on paramount plus on my Roku or nah?
