Yeah, Mr. Senator, YOUR job, which provides healthcare that WE pay for. One third of the jobs for the rest of us don't provide healthcare.

my dad works at job corp & is losing his job. he has to help send all of these hardworking kids away; some are lucky enough to be able to move on and get a job or go to college, some may have to go back to unsafe homes or others are homeless. it is not guaranteed they will have room at a shelter.

In other news, I finished up saving a canoe from the landfill. I think it turned out pretty darn well. I learned a lot, too, and that's a significant part of the satisfaction.

This, right here, is why tariffs cause depressions.
My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been handed over to a private company. In an oligarchy, control of national assets is privatized. The US DoE web site says this contract was awarded after a "rigorous competitive selection process". How stupid do they think we are?

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

Nearly all USAID programs have been cut by the Trump administration : Goats and Soda www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Termination of many of these programs - the cruelly abrupt termination of these programs -will result in suffering, even deaths. This is on our hands.
The Trump administration kills nearly all USAID programs
The Trump administration is terminating thousands of foreign assistance grants and awards, according to a court filing. The move effectively guts the six-decade-old agency.
