Reminder that every single nickel spent on SpaceX or anything like that is going directly into the pockets of people like Musk or Bezos. They have no reason to succeed in any mission because the entire department is a grift to build rockets that purposefully blow up and never make it

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

The #GovernmentShutdown is about #ProtectingHealthCare for millions of Americans.

Democrats are fighting to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for people on #AffordableCareAct plans. People will lose coverage - unless Trump & Republicans back down. 203,000 Coloradoans are at risk!

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

ICYMI, here is the press release for my study with @drjuliawester.bsky.social - we surveyed over 800 scientists who use social media. They overwhelmingly agree that Twitter is no longer useful or pleasant, and that for all professional online scientist goals, Bluesky is superior.

“Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky:” Our new survey shows that scientists no longer find Twitter professionally useful or pleasant

Serious indeed! We must take back Our Country! Progressive Leadership & Democratic Socialism are they only avenues open to us. As long as we allow the Rich to flourish, we will be a two tier economic system. The Rich & the Mid/Low wage working class. This was not and is not the American Dream!

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 16h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
