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.

YES: A Wyoming librarian fired for refusing to pull LGBTQ books just won a $700,000 settlement for violation of her First Amendment rights. 👏 Let this be a warning to every censor-happy official in the country.

🤣 This is a drama/gong show played out every year, usually with a temporary budget getting passed within a squeak of a clock tick! Its been a farce for so many years any change will probably give a few heart attacks on both sides 😏

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 23h

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Every American needs to remember that: They work for YOU, it's time to let them know it without leaving any doubt!

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

It's difficult to keep supporting dem Americans when what we always see is the same regurgitated speeches/words, the occasional 1 day protests+small daily 1s but it's all same old! Outside we've seen democracy fall, inside they're still frogs in the pot. The waters boiling & they don't notice.

trikksy.bsky.social @trikksy.bsky.social · 1d

Oh goody, another feel good protest with a large number of people FOR 1 DAY! Which once again will ultimately accomplish nothing but more words for keyboard warriors & politicians so they can feel like they're doing something which is just an exaggeration of the same old thing..exactly nothing! 🤦‍♀️

Scientists recently found two evolutionarily distinct mushrooms converged to produce the same psychedelic molecule—psilocybin.

The “surprising” results underscore the significance of the hallucinogen but leave questions about its ultimate purpose.

Pakistan has launched two missiles at Kabul, Afghanistan. The target was a vehicle believed to belong to Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban.
