Nice lady from Texas. Into climate stuff, repro rights, books, good TV and movies, board games, vegan eats, and kitties.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.

Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

You know what I’ve learned teaching in a medical school? The greatest health concern for a pregnant woman in America is MURDER.

It is dangerous for a woman here to get pregnant because she might get killed by the child’s father.

That’s the crisis of masculinity.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

"Republicans in Congress thinking it might be time to do their damn jobs."

Fixed it for you.
Senate Republicans grew jittery about President Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs, with some saying Congress should reassert its powers to run trade policy

One bipartisan proposal would give Congress more power to control trade policy.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say?

Anybody else noticing that, now that the federal government is being gutted, the boring, non-political LinkedIn is taking on a distinctly more political tone? I’m loving it.

Oh goody. The fundraising texts from races in congressional districts thousands of miles away from me have begun again.

A lot of chronic illness is post viral. People are healthy until they get flu, mono, covid etc

It only takes one infection to upend your life & leave you with severe disabilities

RFK Jr says he wants to end chronic illness epidemic & yet will make avoiding viruses harder

Get boosted. Wear a mask.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Let's keep this energy going. Hundreds of visits are scheduled at Senate offices across the nation. See if there’s an event happening near you to fight back against the illegal Trump-Musk power grab: www.mobilize.us/indi...

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

OPSEC Note:
Per the unanimous 9th circuit ruling in US v. Jeremy Travis Payne, police can legally compel you to unlock your phone if your security is biometric (face, fingerprint etc); however, they need a warrant to compel you to enter a pin or other password.
Adjust your settings accordingly.

So does the goat man’s outie come to work in the goat outfit, or does he come in dressed normally and his innie changes into the goat getup? #severance

You can't diversify your stock portfolio anymore because of an order from the president.

See how stupid that sounds? Now apply the same logic to the executive orders on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

Please ignore anybody who tells you what you, personally, can do to reduce your carbon footprint unless their first piece of advice is "become part of the environmental movement pressuring governments and industry to make major systemic changes to reduce carbon emissions."

Thank you, @sierraclub.org for having an "action hour" yesterday. I loved having a specific window of time dedicated to *doing something* and not just panicking. Any other groups doing that? Specifically, abortion/repro rights groups?

Amen to every word.
I hadn't planned on sending anything out today but I typed up a little rant in response to all the posts celebrating Tennessee WBB head coach Kim Caldwell for returning to the sidelines just a week after giving birth.
haterade: why are we romanticizing this?
it's ok to take maternity leave, I promise!
