We rarely talk about the price of telling the truth.

@katekenny.bsky.social breaks down the moral math of whistleblowing in a new interview with yours truly.

The question isn’t why people stay silent; it's why doing the right thing still costs so much.

The East Wing of the White House was fully demolished, a White House official said, as construction pushes forward to build Trump’s new ballroom. Here's the list of donors paying for it.

Building on this to also express my gratitude to @lesleyjlopez.bsky.social for her work at the State-level.

She is a shining example of how we all must work together to inspire, mobilize, and resist the dismantling of democracy.

And yes, until next time, 📣 STAY COURAGEOUS! 📣
Big thanks to @lesleyjlopez.bsky.social for providing a platform to talk about the work we're doing doing and how allies at the local, State and Congressional levels can help support our organization & federal workers, in general.

We must stay courageous!

I do believe its time that the Governors of all blue states started having a real talk about what forming a new union and seceding from the current one would entail.

We're past the point of no return.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is quietly attempting to revive a massive Alzheimer’s data collection project that was shut down by Congress after it was found to be “at risk of failing to manage…hundreds of millions of dollars…and raised a host of privacy concerns”.

But this time it’s for autism.

This 3-part series sent chills up my spine.

I can say with the utmost certainty that I feel much more apprehensive and anxious about traveling by air now.

This interview gives me great pause about my future travel plans.
"We say at the FAA that our rules are written in blood... It's so hard to believe that we're going to need another tragedy in which lives are lost, to prove again that we need to hire the people we need."

Wow. I cannot believe this is where we are a society and a country.

To take aim at the veterans who have fought for the very democracy that we stand under is just unbelievable!
"If I compare what veterans talk about right now versus a year ago, I would say the number of concerns that they express has drastically increased. They're worried about whether or not we are going to exist as a VA."

Fun fact: Members of Congress keep stable, subsidized health insurance - even in retirement. Sounds great, right?

Last week, many of them voted for the Big Ugly Bill, which strips coverage from millions.

Healthcare is a human right - for me, not for thee.
Here's how millions of people could lose health insurance if Trump's tax bill becomes law
Roughly 11.8 million adults and kids will be at risk for losing health insurance if Republicans’ domestic policy package becomes a law.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
