Great piece that breaks down in simple terms what Christian nationalism is, why you don’t have to specify white Christian nationalism (all Christian nationalism is white Christian nationalism), and why it is the biggest threat to our country right now.

To the Veterans who protect us,

We promise to continue to uphold our oath of office “…to protect and defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic…”

We see you. We appreciate you.

I second this
"To cave on such a weak deal spits in the face of all the stress federal employees have endured over the last seven weeks," said an NIH employee.
Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

Basically Dems got us:
- Reversal of (some) RIFs ALREADY known as illegal
- No new RIFs for a whopping 2 months
- Guaranteed back pay that was already in statute.

Nothing on healthcare.

Nothing on impoundments.

Nothing on the rest of the illegal firings.

This was a capitulation.
It is not a victory to have our salary paid when it is already codified. Both Chucks should know better.

Dick Durbin, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan. This cowardice keeps bullies beating on you. Caving now means the administration will never be open and willing to negotiate in the future.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

Dems just won a major set of elections, and Republicans are taking the blame for the shutdown according to polling. So why would we cave and give Republicans everything they want with no concessions? Would be such a waste of energy, taxpayer dollars, and political will. Please reconsider. #democrats

From Reddit:

Prediction is that the gov will finally reopen after Dec 2nd. Right now Mike Johnson won’t open the House bc he’ll have to swear in AZ Democrat Adelina Grijalva. When he does, that’ll give the Dems enough votes to push for the release of the Epstein files.

“When government employees enter public service, they do not sign away their First Amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his decision on Friday, "and they certainly do not sign up to be a billboard for any given administration's partisan views."

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

🚨 Science + politics = propaganda
The administration is holding publication of scientific papers. Example: a paper on research integrity.

📌 Research should be evaluated on evidence. When outside forces intervene, trust in system can suffer.

✅ Scientific transparency is important for public health.
