Today is World Bee Day.
There are around 20,000 species of bees in the world, yet honey bees gets most of the fanfare.
Here’s to the sweat bees, the leafcutter bees, the mason bees, the longhorn bees, the bumble bees, the carpenter bees, the squash bees, and all the rest of our unsung bee heroes!

The Big Bullshit Bill will not only decimate Medicaid (something that *no* congressional district supports by more than 15%), it will also codify the Trump administration's proposed changes to the ACA and allow its federal subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will lose coverage.

I have an idea. The prison in El Salvador is taking prisoners under contract with USA. I think members of Congress should take a fact-finding mission to check on the condition of those prisoners and bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. #BringHimHome

Good morning, friends. The mass firings at CDC and health depts are a blow to public health—and democracy itself.
Those still holding the line: Your work has never been more vital.
This regime attacks us because they fear our strength.

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.

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us.
We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

If Elon Musk were a regular guy with 13 kids from 4 women while living off government money, Fox News would call him a deadbeat. But since he’s a Trump-supporting billionaire, he’s a ‘visionary.’

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Now that the Trump Administration is frantically ripping pages from Project 2025 and writing them into one executive order after another, it’s worth remembering that it polled at 4% approval back in September 2024. Socialism’s numbers were 4X higher.
