I didn’t feel it either but I live on the northern end of CC County. Good reminder to thank the USGS scientists and other seismologists for keeping us informed. 👏🏻
I did not feel this or the M3.7 a bit later, but I was in the east bay working outside. A reminder that despite the federal government shutdown, a group of dedicated scientists at the USGS works to maintain networks that monitor earthquakes and other hazards. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

I just made a donation to our local food bank. Even if the federal contingency funds or funds at the state level kick in, it may take a few days. Please consider doing the same. ❤️

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.
Pathetic.

Marcia Ball fan here, have been for decades, starting with her Freda and the Firedogs. I ❤️ how she swings her leg while singing. I’ve seen her where we lived in Austin in multiple venues as well as at Jazzfest in New Orleans. Sadly she has announced she can no longer perform. Sending healing wishes.
Jazz Fest mainstay Marcia Ball diagnosed with ALS, will retire from performing

Perfect use of the CA National Guard, thank you @governor.ca.gov
Donald Trump and his GOP Congress' refusal to end their government shutdown is ripping food benefits from families in need across America.
California is filling the void — rushing tens of millions to food banks and directing the California National Guard to support their efforts.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.
WELKER: Do you support the president using the US military to police American cities?
THUNE: Well, it depends on what he's using it for ... he certainly has the right to protect law enforcement officials in some of these cities if they're under threat

Happy National Public Lands Day!
I’m hopeful that my grandchildren and other families will be able to enjoy the already established parks and new ones as well. The NPCA is a worthwhile organization to support to make this happen. 🌲 🌲 🌲

Public lands are meant to be enjoyed for generations to come. But staffing shortages, a looming shutdown and historical erasure are endangering the future of our national parks and public lands.

Q: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement saying 'acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy.' That's at odds with you
TRUMP: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what? Maybe they're right.

Republicans are cutting flood protection, clean water, and affordable energy—just to pay for a new, useless rocket on a submarine.
They’re choosing weapons over water, and higher bills over clean energy.
