Tom Nichols about White House Press briefings: “Every one of these press conferences becomes a Saturday Night Live cold open. Except that you couldn’t write something like this. The writers at Saturday Night Live would throw that one out — it’s just too over the top.”

It’s not clear that NWS was at fault or under resourced here. The point is, especially with climate growing more unpredictable, we need more resources in this area to keep Americans safe.

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.

🧵Censor, purge, defund - how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science & universities.
This isn't chaos - it's deliberate & well-established methods.
I've mapped 40 actions into 3 categories covering attacks on science, attacks on universities and international collaboration.

Trump wants to control all federal firing & hiring. He wants to be able to reduce & refill the ranks of career fed'l employees. It's soft coup (non-military) happening before our eyes, but too many people aren't paying attention. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/humphreys-...

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.
I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU.
Please share it far and wide.

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.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
