Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

I tried trout fishing the other day. Turns out, it’s a lot like all other freshwater fishing, but with a gorgeous, flowing river in front of you.

For the record, it’s sublime.

I tried trout fishing for the first time today.
Tangled the line and had to cut and retie it four times.
Tried four different rigs.
Caught nothing.
Cared not one iota.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

Every year my family writes down funny moments, quotes, major life events and memories, at the end of the year we get together and throw them all in a pile and read them out loud
It’s one of my most favorite things.
Start a memory jar 💙

Agencies informed staffers they were preparing to cut their workforces by up to half, then followed up with letters offering voluntary separation incentives. The move aimed at scaring employees into accepting the offer.

Today showed us that 1. calling your reps and pushing them to act does work (Cory Booker), and 2. elections still matter (Wisc Supreme Court).
Apathy and cynicism get us nowhere. The American people using every tool in the damned toolbox will win us our democracy. The power lies with us. Use it.
