My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month.

I work at a public library. A patron left their iPad, I put notes on her account and saw she lives 3 doors down from me. I can’t take it home to her without risking my job. The entire administration is destroying this country and our elected officials are letting them.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

1. Trump's policy toward China has changed dramatically since taking office.
During the campaign, he was promising tariffs of 60% or more.
Now Trump is down to 10% tariffs on China — or none at all
How do you explain the sudden shift

How do you explain Trump's abrupt pivot on China? Elon Musk.

2. Notably, there has been no meaningful change in position among the 147 members who voted to undermine the democracy
Except for Tom Rice, who retired in 2023, none of the members have expressed any regret about their vote
So there is no principled justification to resume donations
