Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 13h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Question: ?👇

Does every woman in America have your own stash of pepper spray?

Because you need to!

I’ve had my mace/pepper spray since college and made sure my friends, sisters and nieces did too.

Be prepared!

Running scared again.

Speaker Johnson knows America is not buying his BS—people want Republicans to end their shutdown, reopen the government & prevent health insurance premiums from doubling.

Instead of trying to work on a deal, he’s canceling another week of work. Pathetic!

Americans were told that if you work hard, you’d have enough to buy a house, raise a family, and maybe take the kids to Disney.

Now, most working folks can’t afford a downpayment, childcare, or a vacation.

Republicans’ solution? Rip away folks’ healthcare & give handouts to the mega rich.

Disney hikes theme park ticket prices across the board — as passes double to over $200 in past decade

The steepest increases hit Disneyland’s top-tier tickets, with the Tier 6 one-day pass jumping $18 to a record $224 per adult.

Hey MAGA, here’s a list of Trump’s shutdown achievements:

-Sending $20 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina

-Letting Qatar build an air base in Idaho

-Golfing trip while the troops aren’t getting paid

Is that America First? Or are you ready to admit he’s a f***ing liar?

I held a town hall in Holliston today to hear people’s concerns & talk about how I’m working for them.

Folks are scared about their healthcare insurance premiums doubling—Democrats are ready to take action on healthcare, but Republicans refuse to reopen the government. It’s shameful.
