Elon is firing HUNDREDS of highly skilled workers at Bonneville Power Administration.
Engineers, dispatchers, lineworkers. These positions are funded by PNW ratepayers—NOT from federal funding.
It doesn't save taxpayers a DIME! Our grid is at risk because Elon doesn't have a CLUE what BPA is.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.
Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else.
For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right?
But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B.
Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.

HHS might as well be wrapping a wire around a piece of metal and running a current through it and see what happens.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Musk is in a position to get richer off market moving data, stomp out his competitors, & freeze any oversight of his companies. I ask Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee whether it's appropriate for someone with so many conflicts of interest to have this level of access to confidential DOL data.

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling.
He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

"He threw out so many nonsense, nonsensical questions and statements that it was head-spinning," Washington's senator said of her private meeting with Kennedy.

The Gulf is just the start.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“
