My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

WTF! How does Bondi’s nomination protect the independence of DOJ?
This is our new Attorney General. It will be up to the pro-democracy legal community to fight harder than ever.

Look forward to riots and a ceasefire by Hamas over this insane solution to a cultural problem; Palestinians believe they own Israel as well as Gaza and the West Bank. So how does clearing these people out protect Israel, get the hostages home and provide a state for Palestinians Arabs?
This will put a target on US military and increase security threats against Americans abroad. But, hey, America First, right?
Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen.

A small victory early in this campaign.
Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

Thank you, President Biden for everything you've done for this country. While many may have taken your efforts for granted, I recognize all of your accomplishments. Although Trump may try to take credit for the economy you rebuilt, those who have paid attention will remember the truth.

"The false report from Fox, which was attributed to anonymous sources, confused the public – and evidently Trump too. The misinformation is still circulating a day later – serving as a cautionary tale about the news ecosystem as the new year begins."

An erroneous early Fox News report about the New Orleans terror attack is warping the political dialogue in the aftermath of the deadly rampage.

All the bellicose rhetorical gestures about Panama, Greenland, and Canada are what Pat Moynihan called “boob bait for Bubba,” tough-sounding nonsense to disguise a Trump foreign policy of retreat and appeasement.

Psuedoachaeologists have adopted the same playbook used by climate deniers. It doesn’t work. Bullies never win against scientists who stand up to them.
This is cancel culture, calling for firing someone. Straight up harassment of scholars who are simply doing their jobs. Archaeologists don't excavate entire sites. It's against heritage management ethics

This is just a pseudoscientist riling up their mob of trolls to cancel us

This so sad to hear. These scientists helped to create the theories and practices that underlie archaeology and anthropology. RIP
I’m very sad to hear that Colin Renfrew, a giant in the field of Prehistoric Archaeology, has joined the realm of the ancients. An academic archaeologist with one foot firmly in the trench, he combined theory & fieldwork with flair - and had a knack for asking the right questions. His work lives on

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄

3 years ago Twitter suppressing deadly covid misinformation was viewed as a partisan attack on Republicans that generated months of performative outrage and resulted in congressional hearings. Today the owner of the platform literally took a job in the Trump administration. 🤔
