After @katieporteroc.bsky.social called out Sean Duffy for letting private flights fly while canceling commercial flights, WSJ reports some private flights will be canceled for as long as shutdown lasts (which could be a week, even if the House approves this deal).

Bicycling is a transportation issue and it's a public health issue. We're a stronger, safer, healthier nation when more people can safely ride their bikes. That's why we're alarmed about reports that the CDC's mission-focused work of preventing chronic disease may be eliminated.

A super useful thread on what to do now that the GOP has a framework for reconciliation.
The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.
Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.
