Big news for our public lands—Republican attempts to sell off our public lands using reconciliation do NOT pass the Byrd Rule.
The Parliamentarian also finds their sneaky attempts to undermine NEPA and mandatory oil and gas leasing and permitting schemes don’t fly. This is a huge win!

71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

Every dollar invested in programs that benefit children, like Head Start, yields $10 in societal returns. That’s a 1,000% return on investment.
But now Republicans want to cut these programs — all so billionaires can pay less in taxes.

Just sued to block Donald Trump from dismantling AmeriCorps. Gutting AmeriCorps is an irrational, cruel and lawless blow to communities across Connecticut and the proud, longstanding tradition of giving back in our country.

Pete Navarro claims the US will redraw our borders. Not in a million years.
Ukraine is the forward trench in the fight for democracy. Canada is the second line.
If Ukraine falls, Navarro, Trump and Putin will come for us.
Canadians will never kiss the gangster ring.

About to start #SNL50 but must call out Lorne Michaels on something from @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social special on musical guests. Loved it but they totally whitewashed the story on @elviscostellomusic.bsky.social: he was expressly told NOT to play "Radio, Radio" but did anyway in dramatic fashion

Looks like Medicaid is one of the first programs MAGA wants to cut. We need to fight for the poor people (and children) for whom Medicaid is literally a lifeline. Now!
Republicans have posted their priority programs to slash.
Biggest item?

It's likely the success or failure of Trump will hinge on the Medicaid fight.
