Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.

This stray is now our adopted garden cat…yes I know outdoor cats are rough on wildlife - we have two indoor cats and a hound so hoping we can keep him content enough to not bother wildlife.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

North Carolina has thousands of vacant classroom positions across our public school system all over the state because the pay offered isn't high enough to attract applicants. That is a political choice that our state lawmakers have made - not a financial necessity.

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

Last night after work I stepped into my ‘garden’ and looked with joy at what was coming up, the sprouts of things I planted but don’t remember doing so, the familiars just barely waking to say hello, the simplicity of this action still stuns me with the ability to calm and refresh me. #shawnsgarden

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.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:
- Millions of children will lose their health care.
- Funding for community health centers will dry up.
- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.
That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

I’m pretty sure this is the date history will record as the end of democracy in the US. The administration is openly defying the courts. What happens next is either going to be bad or really bad

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.
In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.
Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

The destruction of these documents is particularly significant, as they are relevant to multiple court cases against the Trump admin and USAID. These cases are related to mass firings, relocation of employees, the rapid dismantlement of the agency, and a freeze on nearly all foreign aid funding.

Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country.
Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.”
Disgusting.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.
