Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington.
Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

Most Americans still have no idea about how F'd this country is about to get. I think if they knew it would be too overwhelming to process so they prefer maintaining the delusion, "It won't be that bad."

Republicans chose to kill Americans, especially their own constituents, as a sacrfice to Donald Trump.
RFK Jr is now in charge of U.S. public health.
A man who founded an anti-vaccine group and pushed discredited conspiracy theories will now oversee the CDC, FDA, and Medicare. Not a single Democrat voted for him. Even McConnell voted no. This isn’t about health—it’s about Trump’s war on science.

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape.
But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused."
More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

I am SO tired of companies folding to "he who shall not be named." Will they stop selling LBGTQ+ items now? One more place where I won't be shopping
These companies are agreeing with MAGA and bad faith right-wing activists to roll back initiatives meant to help women, people of color, and those with disabilities in favor of mediocre white dudes. F them all.
Target is joining a wave of US companies pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as right-wing pressure leads companies to alter their commitment to hiring diverse candidates and expanding access.

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.
