The Republican majority is pushing forward a budget plan that would hurt families and devastate their pocketbooks.

In our district, 55,433 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under this plan.

House Democrats are fighting these attacks.
Slashing Medicaid to Pay for Trump’s Tax Cuts Could Lead to Vast State Shortfalls
Republicans have proposed lowering the federal share of costs for Medicaid expansions, which could reshape the program by gutting one of the Affordable Care Act’s major provisions.

If you are an agency employee asked to take a polygraph contact a lawyer *immediately*. I am more than willing to immediately respond to anyone being pushed into this. My email is in my bio and my signal is NationalSecurityCounselors.16
Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
