We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

it’s hard not to feel disillusioned when reporting all the flagrantly illegal and terrifying things this government is doing somehow doesn’t fully break through to the mainstream. it feels like cable news and corporate media made a deal to convince people to keep calm and carry on.

The US Senate Finance Committee voted to advance Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead HHS. Sen. Cassidy cast the deciding vote, setting aside his medical training to approve a conspiracy theorist with no science training. This is unacceptable, RFK Jr. should be disqualified:
Robert F. Kennedy Is Unfit to Lead US Public Health Agencies
UCS has been clear since his nomination: RFK Jr. is a dangerous and irresponsible choice to lead HHS.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾🐕 😍

This imprint was made about 2,000 years ago, when a dog walked across the wet clay tile as it lay out to dry before firing.

Perhaps not such a good boy?😂
