There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

The Department of Education will begin sweeping layoffs tonight with about half of its 4,400 employees expected to be let go, sources tell CNN.

I watched ABC World News Tonight and it felt like watching the news from an alternate universe. Mostly plane crashes and human interest bullshit. Maybe 30 seconds on USDA removing mentions of climate change from websites. Nothing on Musk taking over Treasury’s payments system. Nothing about the coup

Wait Ken Martin was just elected and he's already asking me for money?

Simply put: we need y'all to get fucking angry. We need y'all to be pissed. We need y'all to reflect what we're feeling right now. We need to know that you feel our collective pulse.

At bare minimum--the very bare minimum--we need y'all to show some goddamn fire.

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

So the “threat” is that China is using our TikTok data for the same nefarious reasons that Meta is using our data? Every accusation is a confession. And every congressperson on this ban owns some Zuck stock.

Is Bluesky completely buggy with everyone on an iPad? I use it horizontally with a magnetic keyboard and the formatting and jump-scrolling from clicking on articles is so annoying.
