Spent several days in DC - from the protest 100K strong - to walking 20+ miles visiting 7 museums and numerous monuments. Ran across a pro-Ukraine event too. A lovely few days that reminded me that I love my country despite the current administration. We must continue to fight.

Texas has introduced the FURRIES Act - Forbidding Unlawful Reproduction of Roleplaying in Education.
Greg Abbott said furries are “prolific” in Texas.
This is a lie.
Greg Abbott said students are using litter boxes.
This is a lie.
The truth is that he is lying to push his voucher scheme.

More of this courage, please.
Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

Commentary: The Texas measles outbreak has drawn renewed attention to declining vaccination rates nationwide, and Coloradans should be among the most concerned.
Colorado is not immune to anti-vaccine sentiment • Colorado Newsline
The measles outbreak in Texas is a warning for states like Colorado, where personal choice has been placed above collective safety.

Not only have I never been more ashamed of my country than I am today, I've never been more ashamed of and disgusted by the White House Press Corp. Not a single one of them had the guts and principles to stand up to him about defending Putin and blaming Ukraine for the war. They are pathetic.

Wild that the day after the FDA is like "Eh, maybe no flu vax next year lol" the CDC drops a report about how children and adolescents who got a flu vaccine were 32%–60% less likely to visit a doctor because of flu and 63%–78% less likely to be hospitalized.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

The Trump administration is a death panel.
Remember those? Republicans used to be very concerned about them. Not so much anymore, apparently.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
