I love how @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social flips tables!

Musk could get $1.2M from Texas so his kids could go to private schools.

The point Talarico makes is THE point. Limit it to the middle and lower classes. NOT THE ELITE!

James Talarico exposes GOP private school voucher scam:

“Elon Musk is a Texas resident and is eligible for these funds.

He has 8 children. That's $2 million in funds for Elon Musk.

You're taking tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize families who already have kids at private schools."

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.

The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.

A couple thoughts on reading this:

- Epstein was a snake who when he wrote this in 2019 knew trying to make his links to Trump prominent would be an embarrassment for the admin, so it’s possible this was an elaborate ruse to seek a better plea deal.

- Jesus Christ this is bad.
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

He's right. We can permanently fix Social Security for everyone by eliminating the cap.
Romney: "I long opposed increasing the income level on which FICA employment taxes are applied (this year, the cap is $176,100). No longer; the consequences of the [social security] cliff have changed my mind."

Hear, hear, Mitt.
Mitt Romney is in the New York Times saying we should tax the rich.

EMTALA requires universal care for “emergency medical conditions” regardless of a person’s insurance status.

In the decades since its passage, some patients have died hours after failing to receive care they were legally entitled to.

Psychiatric Hospitals Turn Away Patients Who Need Urgent Care. The Facilities Face Few Consequences.
Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

The Trump Administration is unlawfully withholding funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — investments Congress APPROVED to build America's EV charging network, reduce pollution, and create good-paying jobs.

We won't stand for it, and we will be taking this to court.
Together with @governor.ca.gov, Caltrans and the California Energy Commission, we’re suing the Trump Admin for unlawfully suspending two electric vehicle charging infrastructure grant programs that would reduce pollution, expand access to clean vehicles, and create thousands of green jobs.

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.

Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

As an author, I’ve already gotten multiple emails from people asking me for fake articles and books that I’ve supposedly written, because chatbots have told them fake references. I *cannot imagine* the frustration and time waste for librarians and especially ILL library professionals right now.

This. My sister is a nurse and this is beyond demeaning.
Disrespectful and insulting.

According to Donald Trump, nursing isn't a professional degree.

The bottom line? The entire nation, including Illinois, needs more nurses — this decision makes it even harder than ever for them to get the support they need.
Trump Administration Moves to Exclude Nursing From Professional Degrees, Set New Student Loan Limits
The proposal has drawn pushback from the nursing community, which argues the reclassification could limit students’ financial access to advanced nursing degrees.
