It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests!
Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding.
House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Karen's pieces are labeled opinion, but history shows us that what she's saying here is fact. These "anti-DEI" policies are *segregationist* policies in politically correct clothing. It's white supremacy made palatable for the masses. @karenattiah.bsky.social

We all knew that attacking trans people doesn’t defend women but I think it’s important to highlight how brazen the lie is, that in fact attacking trans women is becoming a vehicle for attacking all women, as trans women said it would be.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

We know everything

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Rarely do I meet people whose compassion floors me. That’s the case with Scarlett Lewis. She lost her son Jesse in the Sandy Hook tragedy, and it would have been easy for her to become angry and vengeful. But she took a different path.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
