Oklahoma Republicans are moving to change the state’s Social Studies curriculum to suggest to kids that the 2020 election was rigged.
They want to order teachers to tell students that the ballots are disputed and have “discrepancies.”

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing.
Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills.

D.C.'s loss, and a loss for the arts community, but a needed protest. The arts must stand up.
Hamilton cancels its two-month-run production scheduled for next year at the Kennedy Center due to the “partisan policies” following the “recent takeover.” The production likely was scheduled as part of a year of 250/America programming.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets?
We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Respect to President Zelens’kyi for going on Fox and saying sensible things at a time when that is rare.
Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News:
◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone.
◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

Republicans haven't been able to get a budget passed since they took over the house in 2022. This isn't Biden's fault.This is because Republicans are broken.
Translation: We still can’t get our heads out of our asses long enough to get things done and govern, so we have to continue Nancy Pelosi’s 2022 budget AGAIN for a few more months and let Musk cause chaos so they will blame him and not notice our incompetence.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
