Sadly, I canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription today. I stuck by them last fall when they refused to endorse a candidate, but I won’t be party to more #MAGApropaganda

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

Background: 60 USAID employees had been placed on leave for “undermining” Trump’s executive orders. Nick Gottlieb was told by DOGE to then fire them. Instead he emailed all of them earlier saying he found no evidence of misconduct and used his power to take them off leave. Then he was put on leave.

The ongoing assault on career civil service positions makes the country less safe.

To all the non-partisan career federal workers who have for years been working hard to improve the lives of everyone: thank you for your public service.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Read one post, and this is my new favorite Bluesky account.
I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist

Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!"

They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own.

Don't overthink this. Call out stupid shit and say no. It's not that hard.

The first Trump administration eviscerated science in the federal government at the EPA, NOAA, and elsewhere, and brought in deep climate deniers. It took 4 years of the Biden administration to rebuild science at the federal level and now it's going to be gutted again. Stand up for science.

This right here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ LOTR is always good for some conventional wisdom.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I used to represent FDA scientists, including HQ and the field offices in Baltimore and Philadelphia. They are dedicated public servants who care about one thing above all: public health.

They are PhD chemists, microbiologists, biologists, clinical pharmacologists, Medical Doctors & Veterinarians.
